The insulin is novomix 30. I find that a few times I've forgotten to eat breakfast after injecting 23 units and my bg starts climbing. It usually starts to drop a bit after I've been awake for about an hour anyway as the Dawn Phenomena wears off, but goes up when I take insulin, even without eating.

I'm finding that I'm having some very contradictory readings. My blood sugar has been going UP when I inject insulin but miss a meal or eat very lightly. My readings also increase when I exercise. I've done some reading up and can see a reason for the exercise increase, but the increase...

I had endobarrier put in about 5 weeks as part of the London clinical trials (457th person in the world to have it!). It's put in as part of an endoscopy, so no surgery and nothing comparable to the months of problems you can have from surgery. However, it's still not an easy option and I'm...
