Hi I'm type 1 on a pump using Humalog insulin. When not on the pump I use Lantus as back up. After a recent nightmare in hospital I wonder if anyone else has ever had issues whether on a pump or not with insulin and heat. To cut a long story very short, one night while in hospital my pump...

Hi Just wanted to mention this as I had this discussion with my health care nurses today. I recognise that my health care team is very different from other peoples experiences of theirs, in that mine advocate low carbing as a way of reducing blood sugar levels and weight. I had an...

Hi I'm about to have invasive surgery and my surgeon has prescribed Arnica pre op and post op. I've noticed that these seem to be made of sugar. Does anyone here know how many carbs they are? Or has anyone tried taking these? I've tried the manufacturer with no joy. I'm type 1 so its important...

Hi I'm desperately trying to find out the proper UK carbs for the root. I've googled and found conflicting answers. I know it is something you can have on Atkins induction so can't be bad. I'm having it for tea so any help is really appreciated. Dom

Hi I know I asked about hypos before but has anyone else had this problem with hypos? I've just completed my first full week low carb. I'm on less than 60g carbs a day and for the most part feel great, healthy and energetic. I've reduced my insulin to a third of what it was before and at the...

Hi I'm just curious about how people are treating hypos. I was always taught to have some glucose followed by something starchy so that my blood sugar stays up. That was always a swig of Lucozade followed by a jam sandwich (which I now know isn't the best for maintaining good levels). I'm still...
