[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1057507, member: 17713"] Even I at 50+ years have had to now change to 3 small (very small) meals a day. Mine also have to be timed around medicines now so 9am, 1pm, 5pm and no eating anything after and no milk .... Ggggrrrrrr!!! A routine definitely helps. Like at lunch I just have a large ramekin with kiwi in with coconut lactose free yogurt, sometimes with melon etc... But that is my lunch. However my DSN's and consultant for past 7 years has been happy with me eating once a day because we talked about the nutrional value in my meal. They also said it was important to my life that I ate when I wanted to. I explained that I never feel the need to eat and that my hubby leaves my dinner in the fridge otherwise I wouldn't get any hunger to eat... They knew I eat healthy when I do eat. I've just had to change for past few months and I don't know long term whether I will continue or not but its a case of having to at the moment for me. You need to gain some confidence to increase your insulin. Get this under supervision from your DSN. Have you got 1/2 units pens? These help enormously. Have you got a meter that calculates your bolus for you? This is also handy to have. For me, I used to be able to garden all day without eating until 6pm. Its just a case of getting your basal right with your lifestyle and activities. [/QUOTE]
