Awesome! Message me via DM.

Nope not a single one. This was more just being proactive in the event it did happen.

I had the same issue, follow Bernstein approach like yourself, which they already don't like for the usual reasons i.e thinking nutritional ketosis is the same as DKA. Please do DM me, would like to connect with UK based T1's who manage it with Bernsteins approach!

Has anyone Uk based been able to get their GP prescribe Zofran (or anything similar) to be proactive with vomit episodes? Any ideas would be welcomed, even as alternatives.

I currently have the following blood glucometers: - Freestyle neo opium - Accucheck - 4SURE Curious as to what everyone finds to be the most accurate? Seems like I appear to get higher readings on 4SURE compared to accucheck and the freestyle is closer to accucheck readings.

Thanks for the response! When googling This result it seems to suggest the left eye is ‘better’ than normal. That’s surprises me! Maybe I’ve just read it completely wrong

Hi All, I haven't been able to catchup with my doctor but have just seen my DIS results below: Visual Acuity Left Eye 6/5 Right Eye 6/6 Final Grade : R0MO Guess the good news is that there are no signs of DR but wondered if anyone knew anything further in terms of the acuity and what the...

Thanks for the info - very interesting to see you managing with fiasp and dosing 2 hours post meal. My idea is that on low carb, i rise very slowly so i can afford to let it rise and then allow my novorapid to kick in once the protein starts to break down into sugar. This is why I take the shot...

Because I feel like right now, i'm able to manage my blood sugars with minimal insulin and it's not up and down. Appreciate it's probably different for everyone as needs might change drastically from time to time.

Is there anything you did to 'prolong' the honeymoon period? 8 years is a lot. I'm hoping (provided I have any, not sure yet) to preserve as much as it as possible.

All very interesting! As you say it appears this condition is extremely individualised. Noted on the different aspects to Tresiba and Levemir, thing i'm personally more likely to split Levemir twice a day as I begin to incorporate gymming into my routine soon and might need that flexibilty!

Thats all great insight, so thank you for this. My why is i'm curious just how much extra Insulin I might need as I fear the challenge will be higher insulin = more chance of hypos occurring, even with the low carb diet i'm on. As Antje says, it's all very individual but my ideal would be to...

Great do you mind me asking how your basal insulin changed when you got out of honeymoon i.e from initially what the amount of units was to what it is now ? Appreciate you said it changes daily but curious just how much extra you needed. Also noticed in your profile you use Tresiba. I only...

Hi all. Was just curious the transition coming out of the so called 'Honeymoon' phase. A) How your insuin requirements changed B) How much more difficult was the condition to manage? I ask this as whilst I haven't done a C-Peptide test to determine how much insulin my pancreas is making, I'm...

Thats interesting the pumps aim on avoiding hypos - as you say, maybe not the best if you are wanting tighter control. I'm currently taking 12 units lantus before bed and 1 unit novorapid before meals, so believe i may well be in a honeymoon period, but this could also be attributed to my very...

Sure, and I agree i'm probably on the extreme end having just been diagnosed, so this will very likely change over time. I'm a pretty active and outgoing person too, so appreciate these levels will not be sustainable. I'm hoping at some point to be given the opportunity to use a pump, which I...

Time in range also goes up to 10 mmol. Personally I set my boundary at 6.5 (but that's just me) and aim for atleast 70%. Still think the guidelines of going up to 10 is far too high.

I was under the impression Actarapid is a longer onset and works over a longer period? Novo onset is quicker and peaks earlier. Do you follow high protein as well as low carb? Thanks for suggesting this book.

Great to know - i'm hoping given I know have the echo, I can readily access the penfills. I have my first appointment with a diabetes specialist next month but trying to push for getting Actarapid earlier as it just makes so much more sense. How long before meals are you pre-bolusing? Also how...
