[QUOTE="Japes, post: 2155990, member: 277410"] We've been having a canteen lunch every day. There is a bowl full of biscuits/crisps and also hypo treatments on the table in our room. The only time anyone has had biscuits is before driving home if blood sugars have indicated this would be sensible! [USER=425990]@SueJB[/USER] I decided, when I heard one day was to be carb-free, to demonstrate what happens when I eat "normally". So, Monday's chips did exactly as I expected (seemed fine, but the carbs kicked in later) and yesterday's jacket potato sent me to the stratosphere 2 hours after lunch, but was worn off by the time I got home again as anticipated. Just physically being with a group of people who totally get the relentless life long nature of an insulin-dependent lifestyle, be it T1, LADA or T2 on insulin, is probably being the best bit for our group as well as the talking about it all informally. Oh, and possibly the new diabetes toys we've nearly all got now! I am now the proud owner of new half unit Echo pens and just awaiting the new prescription to be able to use them - though, I'll need to use up the flex pens in the fridge first. Plus the new meter for bloods/ketones which shouldn't be obsolete in less than the two years of my last hospital issued machine. [/QUOTE]
