Hi I take 56 units of Tresiba at night and 12 of novarapid with meals There are many times when numbers are running really high even in the middle of the night they can be in 20s. When this happens should I be taking more insulin at that moment to bring it down? Thank you for any advice

Hi have noticed the last couple of months numbness in some of my toes. Am currently shielding is this something I should speak to GP about sooner rather than later. Any general advice. Thank you.

@terrytidy yes am doing Keto. At the moment dirty Keto will see how I get on to whether I go clean

Have about 60-70Ibs to lose so it’s a good start. I know it will slow up but it’s the proof I needed. Hubby is on it now too!

One week doing LCHF and I have lost 5.2kg (11.4Ibs) and sugars have gone from mid 20s to between 8.2 and 11.3! I aim for below 20g carbs a day and it’s working.

This sounds good and most likely where I’ll end up, want to break this carb cycle I’m in and then see where it leaves me.

Gosh sounds horrid, glad you stuck at it. Thanks for the warning

Thanks all. Now off to google Keto flu!

And numbers already dropping and the best thing for me is that after my evening meal there was only an increase of 1.3! Not sure yet how Keto I’m going to go but am starting with target of 20g carbs a day. Really feel full, will just see how it goes.

Thank you Jayney. I think I was just so **** tired as well I needed a break from everything. Still tired but that’s my sugar levels but feeling refreshed. Am looking at Keto and giving that a try x

Started following LCHF, on average how many carbs do you have?

Was diagnosed three months ago now and after finding things out initially, I went into denial. Have now come out the other side and embracing LCHF diet and so far breaking it down to small chunks it’s manageable. My average reading has been 18.6, so really high and have been feeling really rough...

I think I have a neck longer than an ostrich. Honestly I still can’t get my head round this. A couple of weeks ago i though I had sussed it but have fallen off rails big time. After feeling like rubbish again have realised this isn’t going away without action. So here I am again. Am going to...

Thank you haven’t dared get the machine out again. That’s Wednesday job, I think I’ve done a good job at hiding it in those two weeks as right now don’t know where I put it x

Thank you very much great advice. Never eaten big meals preferring to snack. So need to find those alternatives. x
