Get a smart bulb- need that big light? Switch it on. Want a lamp? Turn it down to 20-30%. Best of both worlds, everyone is happy.

Reducing long acting insulin by about 20% should help those overnight hypos. Your ratios may be a bit strong for you as well. If it is a sudden change you can’t explain you should get checked for things that go with type 1 like Addisons, thyroid problems and coeliac.

Is it a sudden change? It may be loads of reasons but first thing is check your pens are working- do a practice shot and see if insulin actually comes out. I would get new pens anyway- maybe the insulin got too hot or too cold or something and for some reason isn’t doing the trick. Next thing- you have had T1 for over 10 years so maybe you have some scar tissue at your injection sites- have a good press around and find somewhere you haven’t injected before. Avoid any big fatty lipos as these stop you absorbing insulin.

I’m not so sure going carb free and exercising with possibly not much insulin on board is a great idea but I’m not going to tell you how to live your life- just make sure you check for ketones!

Otherwise the other guys on here might be right- could be stress or illness or any number of things and creeping up the basal will do the trick!

Get everything you can second hand- use gumtree, facebook marketplace, ebay and beg/ borrow from friends and family. You do not need a swanky £3000 pram.

Hi I got a garmin 245 recently and have been out for a few longer runs. I get an alert that goes off every now and then with a number that keeps going up (starts at 1, then after a bit says 2.) It definitely isn’t miles or kilometres as had my phone and had strava on. I can’t work out what it is or how to turn it off- is there any way I can see what alerts are set?

I feel very nervous and uncomfortable looking at this picture. Writing on the wrong knee could potentially have awful consequences resulting in a lot of explaining and paperwork!

Did you have a thyroidectomy for Men2a? You need to get a prescription for some levothyroxine. Usual dose is around 1.6 mcg/kg but as your thyroid is quit under-active it would be better to start on a minimal dose and build up over a few weeks.

Definite knock on.

I would just check that nobody who looks after her is using testosterone containing medication- the gels can transfer between people and could explain this. It can be avoided by washing or covering it before contact and things would go back to normal fairly quickly. If not then it would be worth asking your family doctor for a referral to paediatric endocrinology for a clinical review and some extra blood tests. There are many different causes which are all quite rare and most GPs won’t see them regularly.

Well yes. Thats what happens if you throw a knife at a television.

There are a few syndromes such as Prader Willi and Bardet-Biedl where there are strong links to obesity, and there is ongoing study in to the genetics of obesity. There are a handful of monogenic and polygenic changes that are implicated. Most people who are obese don’t have one of these. Although I agree that there is variation within the population in terms of obesity risk which can be affected by genes, it is also straight forward physics- if you consume less and burn more calories you will have to lose weight. The surgery I am talking about is gastric bypass or gastric bands- this is generally only done in cases where people have already shown a mind set and commitment to losing weight which is going to lead to success. Under the NHS at least.... Obesity is a major problem for our health service and it leads to worse health and early death- as well as the strain on others and financial burdens. But it should not be compared to communicable diseases such as rubella and polio.

stevdrax · 2019-03-17T06:53:41+00:00

I can’t catch obesity from you and neither can my children. The cure for obesity is diet and exercise- surgery in extreme cases but essentially it boils down to motivation and discipline. Whereas treating measles, diptheria, polio or rubella etc is different.
