Hey everyone, new to the forum. I have 3 old LILLY Humapens for humalog cartridges that I no longer need as I am on Fiasp now. These are about 13 years old, but work great! I'm happy to post them for free, just cover the postage cost. Equally, if anyone has good ideas of where else I can...

I want to apologise. Hi Everyone, hope you are all staying safe and well. I’ve been feeling very guilty and wanted to get it off my chest so be prepared for a little bit of a long read! Due to having Type 1 Diabetes and living with my dad who has COPD and asthma, I was prepared to stay at...

Hi Everyone. Your thoughts would be appreciated. 72 years of age and diagnosed Type 2 about 25 years' ago. Medication for many years, then Levemir insulin for around one year and 6 years ago managed to return to tablets (through diet). The numbers were under control! During the last couple of...

I thought I would share this wonderful blog post from Simon McCoy, who has shared his journey of denial from his diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, to where he is today. It really highlights the huge impact this forum can have on someone's life and the exceptional support and knowledge that each of...

Hello, I've not posted much lately and not one to seek advice normally however, I've had 2 big drops with single unit corrections in 24 hours that I really can't explain :( I'm 39 years old and been Type 1 for past 22 years and DAFNE course graduate. I've been taking Humalog and Lantus for a...

hey guys, So I'm still very new to all of this and did something that appears to be very stupid. I took my usual dose of 8 units of insulin (humalog) before my dinner, however my dinner was quite a lot of carbohydrate and I started to feel very sleepy (as my sugar was already high) so I...

I see people posting that doing these fasts are good for insulin sensitivity and weight loss. So how would I start and what would I do with my insulin regime. Right now I'm on 24 units of lantus at night and 1:8g carb for units of humalog.

Hi there, I've been trying to lose weight for months but I just cannot seem to figure it out. I eat the low carb meals which can be down to 3g carbs, three times a day(breakfast, lunch, and dinner). I also workout about 5 times a week (2 days crossfit and 2 to 3 times HIIT for running) is there...

hi everyone, I'm going out to eat with friends today but that means eating dinner roughly 2 hours later than I would normally. Im on a bolus basal regime and I'm wondering if taking the rapid acting homolog before my later meal would mean it overlaps with my basal that i guess i should take...

Hi all, I'm 17 and my mum has had Type 2 Diabetes for 20-something years now, after gestational diabetes with my elder sister. T2 runs down my mum's side of the family (yay genes..) and I have grown up with it in my life; I have memories from my childhood of sitting on the bed with my mum...
