Nothing really new here just the normal daily routines for me. Food is not realy low carb at the moment. I would say its reduced carbs. I have decided not to worry about the carbs and loosing weight at this point and to deal first with the ibs problems and get some stability there. Sugars are...

I didn‘t know it was not widely available yet. I certainly will try it out if it is approved by my insurance. Will post my experience then. My next appointment is at the start of september. I hope that it works for me. It would give me more freedom with my food times. At the moment if I eat...

I never had a pump before and due to the DP and how it affects my daily life my DSN suggested a pump. After some discussion about tubed vs patch pumps she said i should reserach the Kaleido pump. As I see it it is a mix between a patch and a tubed pump. It can attached like patch pump with a...

I agree what an ignorant doctor. Hormones can definetly mess up your blood sugars. It was the same for me. Just a different timing, for me the week after my period was tricky. My insulin resistance was very high and i needed almost double the insulin and the week of my period I was very...

I certainly do get it, the rise starts most of the time at 3am. How much it rises differs a lot. It took a while to figure out what factors influenced it. For me the most important find was that if I eat after 6pm (no matter what) my sugars spike at 3am. Just had it happen this weekend, I ate at...

Sorry for the long post in advance as choising the right tratment is complex and very individual. I hope my post is useful in explaining the difference between basal bolus regime and mixed insulins. But as a first stepI would definitely talk to your DSN about the mixed Insulin and why she chose...

So far not the most interesting week foodwise for me. Still trying to figure out what foods are tolerated by my IBS. So i am sticking to the same foods during the workweek that I know can eat without a reaction. That is some nuts maybe some yoghurt and a rye-sourdough Sandwich for lunch. So...

Sounds great. It is tempting to just drive to Leeuwarden and not go to work. my work commute is at least in the right direction. Work is not that much fun at the moment. With a 1 hour commute each way and no Homeoffice it is tireing. Plus it is only a 2 year contract so moving there is not an...

I studied sustainable entrepreneurship. I had a great time there and I miss the city quite a bit these days. There is one street that was very nice with lots of food stores and one sold slices of salami or serrano ham in a paper cone instead of chips or ice cream, perfect for a low carb...

Congratulations :)

@Antje77 good luck with the job. I just recognised that bridge I walked across it many times when I studied in Leeuwarden. Food today was greek yoghurt and a few nuts for breakfast a sandwich for lunch. Dinner will most likely be a leek and mince soup.

I also got it on prescription easily in the past but there is something new. It is not a glucagon injection its more like a nose spray it‘s called baqsimi. I don’t know if it is easier to get that prescribed in the UK as Im not from the UK. But the advantage in my opinion is that it is easier...

I also eat them in all the ways they were suggested in this thread (except raw). I just want to add another yummy way. You need a muffin/cupcake tray for it. Step 1: line the mold with bacon Step 2: put some grated cheese in there Step 3: crack the egg on top season it and put it in the oven...

My recent one is 46. the same as the last 3 times so quite stable which is nice. The time in range also stays around 80%. But this time I noticed my BS fluctuates less and I am happy about that. All in all it was a good appointment with my DSN who is happy with my results and and is ok with me...

Hi, I wanted to share my experience with DP and hope others will join me in this thread and share their experience and what works for them. Maybe this can help others who also struggle with DP This is what works for me. Through a lot of dedective work and some Experiments I found out what...

Another thing with Metformin is that it can reduce your vitamin B12 levels. Make sure they test your level when you get your bloodwork done.

I use „Butterschmalz“ which translates as clarified butter or ghee. In my opinion it has pretty neutral, slightly buttery taste.

I used to take Metformin and tolerated it very well for a couple of years. Then there was a change in the brand I got prescribed and then I had side effects. So sometimes it‘s worth it to try different brands if you have the option. As in its effectiveness it worjed great to reduce my bolus...

Hi, I need to use less Insulin with somerhing like lentils or other beans. I believe they are one of those type of foods everyone reacts differently to. I suggest you talk to your medical team and ask them about it. After a lot of trial and error I have found out what works for me in regards to...
