So my ketones are ranging from 0.3 to 1.6. Slightly over the place at the moment. Even when my blood glucose says I am having a hypo, I still have 0.4 ketones. I am checking the ketones by blood. It is just rather confusing for me at the moment. The nurse I am seeing has not been helpful at...

Hey everyone, I hope you are all doing well! Sorry I haven't been on here for such a long time! I would like some advice from you all. Long story short, my diabetic nurse told me that it is okay for a type 1 diabetic to have a few ketones. Is this true, as I checked with Google and it said no, I...

Hey everyone, Hope you are all doing well! I was just wondering who else has the Carbs & Cals app? How do you find the app now? I am not too keen on the subscription side of it. Why couldn't it have stayed the same. Best wishes Becca

Thank you for your comments! I think I have been on Fiasp for about a week and a bit now, my levels have been in double figures since, the only time my level goes normal is when I have had my Levemir at night (which I had upped). I was 7 mmol earlier today, did my insulin had lunch and boom...

Hey everyone! I've recently been put on a new insulin called Fiasp, I was on NovoRapid before but they thought it would be better to change it to this one as it has a faster onset. Is anyone else on this insulin? And how are you coping with it? Does it work better? How long do I wait till I...

I have accidentally stabbed myself many times, but I still like them needles to the ones they have me! Lol

I'll speak to the chemist and see whats happening! My nurse has spoken to me about the needles, they did try to give me 4mm ones, I much prefer the 8mm, so I have kept using them. It is what works for me [emoji3]

The presentation said my normal ones, so maybe they didn't have them in a just gave me these ones, I tried them, really don't like them.

Hey everyone, So I got my prescription today, I re ordered Novofine 30G (8mm) needles, and received Novofine Autocover... Are these replacing the old ones or has my chemist made a mistake? They are so chunky and I am not liking this change. I have added some photos. [emoji31]

Thank you all for your comments, you have all been very helpful! Sorry it has taken me so long to reply! It is a shame they don't have a battery that can be changed, seems a waste getting a new one every 4-5 years.

Hey Everyone, Hope you are all keeping safe and well. Just some questions if you have this pen. I recently noticed that when I press the bottom of the pen down to check when I last did my insulin, it just shows end. Does anyone else's do this? Does it have changeable batteries? Do I need to get...

Hey everyone, I hope you are all well and staying safe! So, recently I went for an eye screening test, and I know I have had retinopathy stage 2 since 2018 but unfortunately the blood vessels have become 'more juicy' as my doctor put it, I am going to have to have my eyes lasered. My eye sight...

Hey everyone, just wondering if these are still the right guides for ketones?

I tend to have hypos either in the night or early hours of the morning. I did feel like I had had a hypo, been feeling pretty ****** all day. I have scanned my sensor when it has read low before and then checked with my meter to make sure I was and it has always been right. I think I'll need a...

Hey everyone! This is the longest hypo I think I have ever had! Has anyone else had a hypo for this long without waking up? Slightly worring if I am honest!

karen8967 & Daibell, it is normally for type 2 but my consultant mentioned it and we have talked about how it could help me along with the pros and cons but I really wanted to try it. It's worth me trying it if helps with my diabetes and weight lose, mainly the weight loss as then I'd need less...

Hello everyone, hope you are all keeping well and safe! I've discussed with my consultant about starting Liraglutide, I will be starting it next week. I am just wondering if there are any other Type 1 diabetics who are on this medication too? How have you got on with it?

I have Addison's Disease and Type 1 diabetes, I was in hospital last month as I had an addisonian crisis which then caused ketones, I tried my best to manage everything at home but it got to the point where my glucose levels were good but I still had very high ketones. Like in the picture I have...

I have taken my insulin and am on basal. I have just checked my ketones again and they are now 2.2, so they are going in the right direction! I shall keep an eye on them. Thank you for replying! x

I haven't been well, I was being sick yesterday but haven't today as of yet, I've eaten but had to wait to make sure I wasn't sick before I did insulin, I'm 16.0 and also checked my ketones to my surprise I have 3.4 ketones, I've never had that many for such a lower ish level. My level was 20.0...
