Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with Type 1 last summer, still very overwhelmed. Sorry about the long post! I'm on daily injections and Dexcom. I feel that despite my best efforts, and reading and educating myself, I haven't been able to figure out my correct basal dose nor insulin-to-carb ratio...

I wonder if anyone had experienced something with a set change issue. What’s happened. About 48 hours into my last Pod, my blood sugar started climbing as if my Basal needs spiked. I hadn’t ate in over 6 hours and saw a sharp spike, promptly corrected and went back to sleep. Two hours later...

Hi, I've only been on a pump for a week so I'm not sure if this is a common issue or not, but it's not one I've experienced using MDI. My Bolus seems to be getting "backed up" when I inject. What do I mean by this? I take the Bolus and about 60% activates (based on the spike I get compared the...

So I had a brain fart and forgot to take my Insulin with dinner last night. My two hours post meal reading made me think I just needed correction. My three hour reading made it abundantly clear I hadn’t take any Insulin with dinner. What’s the rough guidance on what to do in such a situation...

So since starting using Fiasp I've noticed increasingly that its action curve has been flattening. By that I mean, its peak is less and less effective and its tail is more and more effective. The more this happens the harder I'm finding it to match dosage times to my meals. My main technique has...

Hi everyone, I was just wondering what Insulin Absorption was like for folks in different injection sites. I’ve noticed some trends with my different injection sites which go beyond a faster slower absorption. Stomach; Basal: I would never use Fiasp here on the evidence of my Limited Trials...

Hello all, I have been hovering in the background since last year when our son was diagnosed with T1 but would really appreciate some advice from all of you with the years of experience I don't have. Since diagnosis our sons basal insulin has reduced from 14 units down to 6 units and bolus is...

Hi, I need to test that my ratio for my evening meals is correct, and to do that I think it would be best to have the same meal a few nights in a row and see what happens to my blood glucose levels. The trouble is that I'm struggling to think of meals where I can be sure of the carb content. I...

Hi, everyone, I'm on MDI with NR and Tresiba. I recently noticed that when I have a fairly high fat meal ( around 25-30 ish grams of fat) my BG will be unstable. I usually only count carbs when I bolus, but 2 hrs pot meal ( with high fat) my BG comes down to in the range that I expected. But I...

Hi all I just wanted to check if anyone may be able to explain in simple terms what the numbers mean belofor the situation where the correction dose is a negative number -insight pump. I understand it is saying it is minus that amount to get/stay in range but obviously it cant take insulin...

Hi all, Since a few weeks I have the Freestyle Libre 1 sensor and notice more highs after meals than I was aware of with blood glucose testing. I am searching now to find the best balance in my insulin dosing to avoid that without getting too much hypo's. I have been told and have read many...

I have type one diabetes, insulin-dependent for the last 19 years. I am on an insulin pen (had a pump whilst I was a teenager). Usually, my control is pretty good. I have started using the mysugr app which has helped even more. But sometimes it recommends too much or too little insulin which I...

Dear all, I am dealing with a type 1 diabetes since I am 15 and I have been under bolus/basal treatment for 3 years now. Fonctionnal insulino therapy was really giving me a hard time (highs or lows after meals) until I stumbled upon BolusControl. This simple to use Android app let you know...

Hi I'm reasonably newly diagnosed Type 1, (2 months on Friday) but I have a decent grasp of T1 from my mum and sister who have been diabetic my whole life. I had to hit the ground running a bit with a few other holidays under my belt already but only for a couple of days and in Europe so no...

Hey Everyone :) I finally got approved to switch from my Animas to Omnipod... Exciting. I have a question I could not find the answer for anywhere. How long does it take for Omnipod to deliver a bolus? (Let's say 5 units). I have struggled in the past with pre-bolusing and was just looking to...

Hi all, I'm new to posting the forum, but have found it to be a very useful resource in the past. I'd love to know if anyone else has experienced morning insulin resistance. Over the past few months I have noticed that my sugars have been climbing quite high post breakfast. I do suffer from...

Hello guys, I've been searching about basal dose testing and I have some questions. How should one in a low carb diet test if his basal is correct? I'm using Lantus and Humalog, both with a pen, and the problem is that in meals I need to split my bolus dose, and apply them after some time...

Hi guys, I am becoming extremely worried I have been working in a new job (personal trainer and fitness instructor) foe the last few months. I don't get home until 10 ish so am eating my dinner around 10.30pm. I take tresiba 16 u at 8 am km the morning do fasted cardio and don't have breakfast...

Hi everyone I’m new to the forum & a newly diagnosed T1 diabetic (nearly a year) Was hoping for some advice with this question please. I’m looking to start running & going to the gym again. The question I have is... Should I Bolus for the protein shake that I’ll be taking 30 minutes pre...
