insulin adjusting

I am 27 yr old male from India and I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 13 and ever since I am on following insulin. Human actrapid - 14 units(before breakfast, before lunch and before dinner) Human insulatard - 24 units(before bedtime). My glucose levels are very under fair...

Hi I am a newer insulin user (T2 but Ketosis-Prone Diabetes (Flatbush Diabetes), insulin dependent). I've been acclimatising to all of the new "stuff" since 10th Feb. I'm a reasonably routine-based person, so I'm trying to find out what in my process is not yet quite right. The pattern that...

Hi, I am currently 19 years old, 53kg, 5 10" and was diagnosed 3 years ago. Initially i started on a 1:18 ratio which was fine for most of the time and that slowly worked its way down to 1:10. During last summer i was on 1:6 and in the space of 1-2 months that rapidly changed to 1:24 with no...

Hi guys, Another question that I've been meaning to ask. Does anyone know if increasing your muscle mass- therefore a quicker metabolic rate requires more insulin?

Hi, 24yo, T1D for 12 years. I've been on the low carb diet for a couple of years and it's greatly improved my blood stability. That said, I'm having some trouble with Novorapid as a primary fast acting insulin as it seems to peak much faster than the slow rise caused by gluconeogenesis from...

In the last two weeks I have had increased incidence of night time hypos, as a result I have reduced the units of insulin. Initially I was on 76 units per day taken as two equal doses now it is 50. I recently changed the time of doses form 6am and 6pm to 8,30am and 8.30 pm this seemed to have...

Hi All It's been really great to read all your posts, I've been reading and learning so much from you all. I think I've been suffering with this for almost all my life but I've been consciously trying to work it out and get to the bottom of what exactly is wrong with me for the past two...

Hello everyone, I hope you are very well. Recently, my doctor suggested to take me to a pump (in an attempt to control my <2 hypos). Can I have your advice and suggestions? The ones who use a pump, are you happy with it? The ones who tried it and went back to the pens, what is it that you...

Hi all I was diagnosed with type1 about 3 months ago and was put on slow release Lantus-24 units at breakfast and 3 X Apidra a day -12 units. Since then I reduced my dose to 22 Lantus and 10 Apidra, later on about 4 weeks ago the nurse had told me to take 18 Lantus and then 9,7 and then 8 units...

I have just started on insulin. I have been type 2 for 20 years and due to CKD have had to half metformin and stop gliklizide. Currently, I take 500 x 2 metformin and 5 linagliptin and 44 units of Humilin I. At my last check my hb1c was 50, with meter readings of 7 - 8 priot to the change. I...

Hello, I was diagnosed a year ago and to begin with I was good at managing levels, increasingly feels harder (suspect it should be the other way around!) I still eat carbs but sometimes seem to get it completely wrong. Today was on 7 before breakfast (good for me on fasting); had a bagel for...

Hey all, I've been referred for DAFNE and I'm due to go on 17th October. I've needed to book a week off work as annual leave to attend, which essentially means that I've used all my holidays now and for the rest of the year can't take any time off so, say I need to attend an appointment or...
