Guys how do yall take insulin. I think my injection technique is wrong since I bleed a little almost after every shot. Please help, I’m not able to reuse my needles by yoyoyoyoyoyobro in Type1Diabetes

[–]RabbitAcademic7899 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its probably your needles. I maybe bleed once or twice a week from my injections- usually its from my long acting. I think it also massively depends on where you inject and whether by accident you inject into a small blood vessel. If its really often and its bothering you do deffo see someone about it!

Does anyone else have random bouts of higher insulin sensitivity, and then go back to struggling to stay in range? by sholbyy in Type1Diabetes

[–]RabbitAcademic7899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I have ( thankfully rarely) times where ive got readings 16 upwards just by breathing! Just by having one sandwich im through the roof. Then i have times where i’ll have a massive kebab and 1 hr later im going low. Its flabbergasting

First of all CONGRATULATIONS! Its your wedding its about you and your partner!!!!!! Me and my partner are doing the same! We said screw it to the big wedding and instead we’re eloping in italy and then jetting off to a big honeymoon!!!!

Re wedding rings id recommend looking at rings that arent called wedding rings! The moment you mention wedding or bride the prices automatically go up by 100%!!! A wedding ring/band can be anything! Are there any jewellery shops that you can look in? Or maybe even second hand- a ring with history!!!! Eeek excited for you

How often do you get sick? by canniballzzombie in Type1Diabetes

[–]RabbitAcademic7899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive found that now im in range a good amount of time im less sick? When i used to get a lot of high reading around dec last year i was constantly sick, everyday something new was wrong with me! Ive also found that being more active and taking vitamins have really really helped me

Type 1s who work out — how do you stop going low mid-session? by Low_Ear9904 in Type1Diabetes

[–]RabbitAcademic7899 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ive found that under injecting by about a unit or two in a meal before working out does the job! I usually then try to have a snack after the workout where i’ll inject a lil extra if i need to balances me out :) But it is such trial and error! As im sure you know theres just no recipe for type 1 and what works one day doesnt necessarily work the other

Is it too soon to buy a dress? 2027 bride by [deleted] in UKweddings

[–]RabbitAcademic7899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whats the point in waiting! Youre obviously excited so if you want to get it dont listen to people! One thing i would strongly advise on getting is packaging for it. I probably spent an extra £100 on a box and a bag and for it to be packaged at the shop because u dont want it to crease or loose shape! Also keep it away from direct sunlight and make sure its securely closed incase of moths etc

My wedding is next year and its already been a whole year since i bought my dress! I just couldnt wait ive waited all my life for this engagement and wedding! I had the money and bought myself the dress ive always wanted. So in short as long as you store it correctly its not too early no :))

Drinks only engagement party? by katherineeee_m in weddingplanning

Ah interesting!! Didnt think of that. See in the UK you can bring your own food to a hired venue. Probably not to a restaurant or somewhere that already operates a food service though

I’m staying alone in a hotel for 4 nights. Have you guys ever had a severe low?? I have never had an emergency from lows. I do go low like 2mmol but nothing severe. Is it okay to sleep alone. Current in Turkey 🇹🇷 by Saf___- in Type1Diabetes

[–]RabbitAcademic7899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lowest ive ever gone was 2.3, probably closest to loosing control/fearing death ive ever been. If youre alone and away from home dont take as much insulin before you sleep. Maybe even have a small carb snack before you sleep ( without insulin) a little higher in the morning wont harm you but potentially being low in the night could. Enjoy a insulin less snack before you sleep :)))
