I eat a small portion of sugar free Allen in the mornings and spike then level nicely. Would it be an option to eat walnuts before my cereal to kill the spike a bit?

Hi folks, I'm traveling to Cuba next week and I'm concerned which type of insulin is available in case something happened to my insulin supplies. If anyone knows I would appreciate their input Ps I use Humalog and Lantus at the moment Thanks

Update 6 weeks on from my injection of proluekin Reduced my basal Lantus from 6 units to 1 unit Increased my carb ratio from 22g/1 unit Humalog to 35g/1 unit Humalog Average bg lowered from 7.3mmol/l to 6.3mmol/l I have experienced no side effects except a itchy red patch for 3 days at the...

The hot month of may/June had me drinking enough water to fill the Thames and discharging equivalent amounts. I noticed when I stopped taking sugar in my coffee and cut out the coke the symptoms were far less severe. Remembering when I was only young my dad was diagnosed type 2 with the same...

Hi Brett you're right I'm diagnosed 6 months and hit a low carb diet almost immediately(informed choice) I was recording decent readings 6.2-7 now I'm hitting 8-9 My readings all day are good, sometimes a bit high going to bed. What I have noticed is the occasional time I have a glass of red...

Update as promised. Passed initial full examination screening. First injection of proluekin starts a week on Monday fingers crossed!

I was talking about buckwheat which is a fruit seed

It's such a versatile seed Try cooking in chicken stock with garlic and chilli. It seems to take on any flavour depending on what ingredients you cook with it :) Quinoa and bulgar wheat are on my shopping list this week see how I fare

Hi all, Some mornings I wake up with a stuffy head hangover feeling even when My bg is between 6-7mmol/l. After a coffee I'm fine. I don't get this feeling if my bg is between 7-8mmol/l Any suggestions why?

Thanks Looks like it will be a pocket full of glucose tablets and a dishonest look on my face then!

I've had 2 especially bizarre comments said to me 1 when I told a business client I was diagnosed type 1 he said " but you are not fat" 2 when I told my old auntie she said " so how did you get that? " I said " if I knew that then I could help cure millions of people worldwide! Unfortunately...

Thanks for your advice. You would think getting tattoos would be the least of my concerns!

Hi all, I have been getting tattoed for many years before I was diagnosed T1 and still have some work to be done before I'm finished. Any advice on whether I should stop or precautions I should take if I continue?

I get the idea however what's confusing is my bg drops 2-3ml over night unless I eat 15g carb snack. Even during the day I need to eat snacks of fruit or crisps between meals or my readings drop real low. I only take humalog with breakfast and dinner. The doc dropped my lantus from 6 to 5 units...

Hi, Having only being diagnosed 4 months ago I'm learning everyday! No matter what I eat, brown rice, pasta, bread, cereal etc my blood sugar peaks 3 hours after eating. I'm on Humalog which is supposed to peak at 1.5hrs so readings are great at 2 hrs but a bit high at 3 hrs. I'm a bit wary...
