Had my review today and i was 59. I was 55 the last time which was my first review since DAFNE. I was a little but disappointed but the nurse and doctor were the complete opposite. The said i have to remember how far i have come in 12 months which cheered me up. Determined to try and get it down lower for the next review. |

Topic: Questions for HCPs / injection sites I know diabetics who inject into arms and swear by it. I inject into arm muscle (deltoids, bicep, tricep) when I want to get my BGs down fast and that works well for me. Whatever works for you is what you should do. Everyone is different. The main message though is to rotate injection sites. Arms are smaller than the torso, so care needs to be taken to not inject repeatedly into the same sites. |

Topic: Questions for HCPs / injection sites When I was first diagnosed 20 years ago, I was advised to inject in thighs, stomach, buttocks and arms, 12 years ago I went on Dafne and was advised not to use arms, I have been reading posts on here and people do inject into arms, is it advisable to use arms for injecting. |

Topic: General Discussion / Pizza, chinese, indian.... Tried pizza last night. Took half the calculated QA insulin for the CPs I calculated and went low nearly 2 hours later so had to take 2 raid CPs and then went to bed on target and then woke up at 10.3 this morning- better than previous attempts where I've taken all insulin at once and needed my jag to revive me from being down in the danger zone!Think pizza is not my friend- did Chinese a week ago and QA and CPs worked out perfect

Topic: General Discussion / Pizza, chinese, indian.... I split the dose nearly in half. i calculated it as 8 (1.4 per slice * 5 slices and i added 1 for the nachos as i didn't know what they were!), so i did 5 with the food at 6pm, and then 2 hours later i did 3 more. I went low at about 8.30 (4.1) but just had some cornflakes just in case and it was 9 when i went to bed at 10:45 so it was as close to target as i was going to worry about!Not perfect or anything but it worked a bit, i think the 3 units later on should have been 2 units, i must get on to dominos now and ask about the nachos. |

it kind of worked lol. Still went low so i guess that i misinterpreted their carb amounts or they misprinted! I also had nachos with them which they do not print the carbs for so it made it a bit difficult. But i got through it and this morning was sat on a 5.3 so i am happy enough! |

Good luck, and hopefully it will work first time! But... please don't be disheartened if it doesn't, and certainly don't be put off the challenge of eating what you want (my approach is to do my best, be happy when I get it right, and remember that I know how to correct when I don't!). |

Topic: General Discussion / Pizza, chinese, indian.... on the course they recommended splitting the dose for things like pizza/kebabs where the carbs are likely to be covered in grease! I am about to have pizza for the first time since the course so hoping splitting works well
