Type 1: Can't remember if I took my bedtime basal

[Juicyj]

Hi Juicyj, Feeling much better today and my readings are down from yesterday. I was 10.3 before bed and 8.7 this morning so looking better. I should be back to better readings today hopefully. Oh and I ordered a Timesulin cap for my Lantus, a little present for myself at Christmas! Thanks again.

That's fab news birchy, glad to hear it's settled down, I found it really unnerving the episode of 'did I or didn't I' as its a sit and watch game then. At least when you start using the pen it will take away that worry. Taking basal is an auto pilot action so it's good to use one of these or at least write it down in a diary

Must admit i have forgotten to take my bolus on a number of occasions but luckily being on a pump its easy to check whether you have or not.

Regards

Martin

Likely your cold is to blame for the high bg levels, in times of illness just follow the Sick Day Rules, here's a handy flowchart:

That website is great, is there anything similar for England?

There's Type1 Resources which contains a lot of useful information:

It was more the access to your records bit (if I read that properly)

We already have that in England, it's called patient access. Blogged about it earlier in the year, can access all my medical history, test results, immunisations, book appointments and do repeat scripts, all from my phone 24/7
