[QUOTE="becca59, post: 2088339, member: 264425"] I’m sorry, this thread that has gained momentum throughout the day has started to irritate me. I am having a bad day. My average insulin usage is usually pretty low, because that is what my body requires and suits the type of food I eat. However, today that has doubled. I don’t know why, I don’t feel like I am falling ill. Which for type 1s will mean a steep rise in insulin. It has required vigilance. Would not have made an iota of difference if I had low carbed high fatted. As basically I only ate a few raspberries and yoghurt. 10 carbs worth. Which is my usual routine. Tomorrow I will be swimming, so that will require a different daily amount. The day after I would usually need less but hey after today who knows. This disease is not average, I am not average and if I could just take a set amount every day and not have to scan this £45 thing on my arm every 30 minutes I would be one happy bunny. Hopefully average day will return tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
