Topic: Questions for HCPs / ACCURATE BG READINGS

Jwo can you explain why you think Protein affects blood glucose ? Some references etc, I'm not sure I agree with your statement. The reason DAFNE ( not just the UK as far as I am aware) do not
count Protein is it is a very complex area that is not straightforward. This is why I am cautious about stating it as a 'fact'.

Topic: Questions for HCPs / ACCURATE BG READINGS

Yes, your understanding is correct. Snacking between meals and injecting for it will skew the results; and as you recognise, things like exercise, stress, etc can also effect the results - this is why testing needs to be done at least two days in a row.

If your BI is correct, it should hold you steady; if you were not eating for example. DAFNE in the UK does not count proteins which can effect sugar levels so not eating for a max of 5 hours would deem more reliable results than eating (if you do try the non-eating option, feel free to post your results on this Experiment 1 thread: http://www.dafneonline.co.uk/forums/1/topics/2098).

What you change first purely depends on what results you're getting under the circumstances you're testing your body's response under.

Topic: Questions for HCPs / ACCURATE BG READINGS

i wonder if you could help me with a couple of queries.

1.does novo-rapid quick acting insulin when taking have a effect on my bg readings of up to 5 hours after a meal/snack?

2if that is the case to obtain a correct ratio of food to insulin if i say had a meal at 1.00pm and took lets say a 1/1 ratio of novo-rapid and relaxed for the next five hours if my bg reading at 6.00pm was within target then i would assume that my ratio was correct?

i do realise that a lot of factors can effect the result but in principle is yhe above the correct assumption?

3. is it better to adjust your background insulin to achieve the target result or to increase/decrease your q/a insulin ratio first?

i realise that we are looking for patterns over 2/3 days and that i would only adjust one thing at a time. i would appreciate your thoughts and comments

cheers

Topic: General Discussion / Ratios - mealtime

it might be worthwhile to check how long your fast acting insulin continues to work.i.e. i am on novo rapid and as far as i know it has a effect of up to 5 hours after eating so therefore if i was doing something similar to what you were doing to get a accurate picture i wouldnt test until round about five and a half hours later after my meal/snack
cheers

Topic: General Discussion / My 7 days Before-and-After testing

So I've done the last seven days of this
https://www.accu-chek.com/us/data-management/testing-in-pairs.html

Any comments on this would be welcomed also how do you think my mealtime ratios are?

My current ratios are:
2:10 - breakfast
1:10 - lunch
1:10 - teatime

I changed the lunchtime ratio on Tue 26/03 from 1.5:10 to 1:10 as I was getting hypos before tea.

Topic: General Discussion / Ratios - mealtime

Pretty much. Compare your reading from right before the meal with a reading 3-4 hours afterwards (with no snacking in between the tests). They should be within 1.5 of each other. E.g, if you are 6.0 before lunch at 12, and somewhere between 4.5 and 7.5 at 3.30, then you could reasonably assume that your ratios were correct.

As well as not snacking, don't do any physical activity between the tests that you don't usually do - e.g. don't do this test on a day that you are helping a friend move house and carrying heavy boxes because physical activity does tend to drop BGLs.

Cheers,
Warwick.

Interesting read Marke.
*I get Hypo's quite a lot including rebound ones, after going onto a pump in the hope it would reduce them. Confused

*Young people can ignore this disease all they want, but isn't going anywhere anytime soon. I've had it for 38 years and hated every minute and always will, but you have to get on with it. Mad

*Educators & health care professionals don't listen enough, in my experience. Perhaps we should turn it round and EDUCATE THEM. Do you think they'd listen? Wink

My current ratios are:
2:10 - breakfast (that's 2u to every 10g carbs)
1:10 - lunchtime (1u to every 10g carbs)
1:10 - teatime

I really don't know how I came to have these ratios.

What's the best/easiest way to find your correct ratio. Is it if you are holding steady from one meal to the next?

Topic: General Discussion / The Book of Getting Better - Insulin Pumps

welcome aboard gary, I didn't realise when you were asking about pumps that you have been through such an ordeal. Fortunately I have never had an experience like that, mind you I haven't been skiing since I was diagnosed Laughing

As NuMo says a number of us have got the Your Diabetes Science Experiment book , sadly I have not got past the first chapter yet, but I will one day, honest !! DAFNE is all about realising you DO have control over your Diabetes and you can live a life relatively normally, these books help with practical examples of how to understand what your body is doing just as DAFNE gives you tools to do the same thing.

Gosh Naughty, what a horrible experience for you. How long before you get your Driving licence back do you think?

This book looks very interesting, thank you.

Before you go skiing next time, perhaps you might like to read "Your Diabetes Science Experiment" by Ginger Vieira. It covers how to cope with exercise and diabetes. Several of us are sharing our experience. Warwick has set up a thread:-

Topic: General Discussion / The Book of Getting Better - Insulin Pumps

Hello.
If you are considering the insulin pump option then you should read this book asap.
It is written in an very easy format by Chuck Eichten who is himself a convert to pump therapy.
I was already ploughing through "Pumping Insulin" by John Walsh and then "The Book of Getting Better" arrived.
Suffice to say I finished reading it the same day!
It was that good I ordered a copy for my family in order that they can further understand the pumping option.
My wife is also currently reading the book as I type.
I was astonished how positive I felt following this book, especially considering how negative I was after my last meeting with my consultant at which she broached the subject of pumping.
So if you are interested in pumping, order this book today. Incidentally I think it was about Â£8 inc P&P from Amazon.
This book is without doubt the single most inspiring thing I have ever read concerning living with diabetes and as Chuck says.....
"Life with diabetes can't be perfect, make it better"
Take a chance!
Get better.
Oh by the way i have been type 1 for the last 24 years. Multiple daily injections. Relatively fit and acceptable HBA1C levels.
However I recently had a huge hypoglycemic attack at the end of a skiing holiday that left me hospitalised for almost two weeks. I have since had an MRI brain scan which was all clear but have big problems with my memory. Driving licence now lost and job up in the air. Even still this book made me feel as though I had given myself a good dose of positivity and a brighter outlook for the future.

Hi All

I attended my first appointment at the Rosie today and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by it. I was seen by the consultant, a diabetic nurse specialist, a dietician and someone else who I am not too sure who they were but they talked to us about all the scans. I also had full blood taken. I feel so much better now I am under the care of Addenbrookes and I can email my blood sugar results to them to get advice. One thing I am a little hesitant about it that they seem to want me to lower my night-time background dose - but this was the one I was struggling with in terms of high blood sugar! I am a little scared by what might happen during the night tonight but I guess I need to try it to see if it works. It also looks like I might be heading in the direction of a pump, which is all totally new to me. I have never even seen one, let alone know much about it - so that's a good google session waiting to happen Smile

Thanks you so much for your replies. I can't tell you how good it is to hear from other diabetic mums who have had successful pregnancies and healthy children. It's so easy to get drawn in to all the doom and gloom about diabetic pregnancies! So, thank you Smile

Hi. I've had two kids a girl and boy now 3 and a half and 17 months. Try not to worry too much as soon as you get referred to a consultant you'll probably be seen every two weeks and get loads if scans.
During both my pregnancies I hadn't taken part in dafne yet but my hba1c went down to 6.4 even though looking at my diary my bloods were all over the place, I took a lot of correction doses seen as I didn't want a 15lb babyðŸ˜³ (they were 7lb 4 and 8lb 13 at 36 and 37 weeks)
If you're really interested in the pump discuss it ASAP as they would look into giving it to you in the second trimester.
Happy pregnancy x
