Had thousands of hypos over the years. Lots of 0.x and 1.x readings. Normally lose my marbles a bit when this low and start talking rubbish, but over the years I've managed to develop an 'automatic glucose homing response' - I find myself downing Lucozade without realising what I'm doing :)...

Bit late to this topic but glad it worked out OK. Out of interest, I used my normal DAFNE regime so did the basal insulin as normal, and bolused enough for a reasonable amount of Lucozade at my normal mealtimes. BG results were pretty much spot-on, very easy to control. Felt rubbish & starving...

26 years T1 here, nothing wrong yet! Like most long-standing T1s, I have background retinopathy, I was discharged from my annual hospital eye check after a few years of saying there was nothing worth treating. So now back to annual photos instead. They didn't do HBA1Cs in the early days, and I...

I'm not normally one to post on here, but wanted to add my thoughts about the Libre. I received my kit yesterday (Wednesday) and my experience so far (order, delivery, kit, accuracy) pretty much echoes all that I've read on this topic so far. Accuracy doesn't appear too bad but it isn't perfect...

Have the occasional bout of it myself. Same symptoms of eating a really high carb meal (going hypo first then hyper later), but happening with a normal food intake. Seems to happen more frequently when my blood sugar is not as well controlled as normal, although there are exceptions of course...

Thanks admins, I'm capable of remove links myself, and I'm mature enough to know that putting my email address on a forum will lead to spam (or not in my case). Regardless, not sure what the sense is in requiring 10 substantial posts before PM is allowed, especially when you allow other people...

Hi iHs, I think you emailed me, but I cannot view the message - seems that admin have disabled private messaging on here. If you want to write to me directly my email is: Hope that makes sense! All the best, Ty

Hi Dee-uk. Did you see my other post on this forum (http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=7549) in which I emailed Novo about their Innovo pen and got a generally unhelpful response, as expected? I own three Innovo pens, using Novorapid and Levimir, the other being a...

Did you ever find someone with one to spare?

Wrote to Novo-Nordisk - got this reply back (see attached). Doesn't look like we're getting an alternative for a while...

Tony, What I like about LCT's product is no immunosupressive drugs and no side-effects, two people independent and everyone else on the pilot benefits significantly. If you read their methodology, common sense tells you that they're not doing anything nasty to the body in order to achieve this...

Stop reading the papers, they're full of reports of academic studies which simply serve the purpose of continuing the criminally wasteful funding they receive from the various authorities and Diabetic charities that are supposedly acting in our interest (not)! Have a look at a company which is...

I've use two Innovo pens which tell you how long since your last injection. I use one of them exclusively for my Levemir which means I can always tell whether I've forgotten or not. Mind you, I normally feel so rubbish by the time I get up in the morning having not taken it the night before, its...

Hi all, have been looking for a Diabetes forum for ages, didn't spot this one right under my nose! Anyway, I'm slowly working my way through all the posts - good to see how other Type 1s manage their condition, bearing in mind I have previously had little idea about how others got by, now I see...
