Since switching to the Pump I’ve noticed quite a strange side effect to eating Sausages. Between 2.5 to 4.5 hours after eating, even with an Extended Bolus on board I see a sudden sharp spike in Blood Sugar levels (3.0/5.0 mmol/l in the space of about 30mins, more if I don’t have an Extended...

Hi I’ve been a Type 1 Diabetic for almost 14 years and I’m ashamed to say only the last few months have I recently got a grip of it. Since the Uk lockdown I’ve been able to focus on good control which for me means injecting more and having more insulin but I have found my weight has gone up...

I’ve been Keto for 3 months now and done well on it, but colder UK weather means salads with olive oil or homemade olive oil mayonnaise aren’t quite so appealing! Also, I’m not able to eat cheese (except cottage) but do stock grass-fed butter, double cream and coconut oil. Also, I’ve recently...

Hi guys, I'm T1, have been for 8 years. I've been experimenting with low carb/keto meals and like the effects on my blood sugar, but I'm experiencing a bit of a mental block. Just for reference I'm looking to lose ~10kg. I've always been taught ketones are bad so the idea of having high ketones...

I have copied the following extracts from this new study published in Medscape, because it seems to me very important for most members of this Forum, and because I know some members don't want to sign up to the likes of Medscape themselves even though it is free and above suspicion. However, I...

Hi all, I am trying to get my mum to eat healthily and bring her sugar level down. Her sugar level is always over 10 (no more than 13) before meals. The only time I ever see her sugar level between 4 and 7 is after her gym session in the morning. Her diet is quite simple, she mainly has...

I'm 22 and before diagnosis in October 2016 I weighed 15 stone 6 lbs. I'm 6 foot 1. Aware that's already quite heavy. Now after being on insulin from November I am now 16 stone 7!!! I'm so depressed about this. I'm not eating particularly bad although when I feel down I do eat a few biscuits or...

After losing 10kg my BMI is as low as a person from Ethiopia!! Everyone tells me I have to gain weight, so I've upped my fats A LOT. Putting cream in everything and eating nuts and even fatty chicken instead of chicken breast. It seems to work really well, not so much for my weight yet, but for...
