Ok, so I'm on a diet which consists of mostly fruit, for example in college the only carbs i count is my wrap, i don't count the fruit, should i count it? When i got diagnosed my dietitian told me i don't really need to inject for fruit, but i find my bg levels do go slightly high after eating...

Im very low carbing too, that's all im eating is a lot of fruit, veg and meat for protein. In total I inject 6 units a day when i used to inject around 35. Completely cut out bread for months now, i've cut out crisps, biscuits and ****** stuff like that. Um, in the morning i have a bowl of...

Hey, don't listen to that ****! I was 16 diagnosed type 1 last february, so its been a year now, 3 and a half months after being diagnosed i had this tattooed on my right arm and it healed lovely!, I love it :'), proud type1 indeed :D Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi!, sounds very similar, I haven't posted in a while, thought I'd let you all know, I did drop my Lantus dosage from 16 untis to 12, took 3-4 days for it to adjust and since I'm not waking up with morning hypos! and only have one hypo once a week, when I used to have about 2 every day.

I did think about speaking to my DN, but never did, still to this day I haven't spoken to her about it, hopefully next month I will be seeing her. I know, I can't believe how controlled I am, I dropped my Lantus dosage from 16 to 12 in the end and as Brett said, it did take about 3-4 days for it...

Sorry for slow reply, hypos got worse, so i did end up reducing Lantus to 12, bg levels aren't so low in the mornings like they were last week Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Um, slight problem, I've never changed my basal so how do i do it? :L Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

that is at

Oh yes! haha, waw it's quite bad to be fair, typical teenager me :lol:

What I was thinking, tomorrow I'll decrease my basal and see how it goes Friday morning :)

6.7% In may, after 3 months of being diagnosed in Feb this year :) :D

Really?:o, Yes that counts as being able to speak welsh and read it haha!

This discussion has made me chuckle :lol: I study horse management in college, when I'm on the yard, touching and handling all sorts of things, I don't even think about washing my hands before testing.. and now thinking about it, it's disgusting :sick: what germs I could be licking off my...

Right ok :D, haha :') oh no worries, I'll be waking up at 7 from next week on for college, sad times hahaa! Thanks/ Diolch! (i see we're all from wales here haha)

Okay will do :), so when I test at 7~8am what should I be looking for, my bg within range is it?:)

That makes sense, because when I wake up, my heart's racing, like for example when you don't hear your alarm go off and you wake up in a panic, that sort of feeling. So yea it could be a release of adrenalin, makes sense now. So does my basal need to be decreased? Thanks by the way :D

Well, that's why I posted this topic, to see what others think, because I'm not sure, I've always been a late sleeper at night and wake late in the morning, but its never caused morning hypos until now :problem: .. I got diagnosed in February this year, so 9 months haha!, yea my Mum always...

If your bg levels goes below 4.0 it is classed as a hypo, did you feel any symptoms? such as trembling, confusion or eyes going funny, if so these will come along with a low bg level. That is exactly what you're supposed to do! :D, orange juice works perfect :). Ahh sorry to hear about that...
