Diabetic and Colitus

[Mick.]

I have been type 2 Diabetic for about 17 years and had my second seizure 3months ago. My insulin was changed now levels through the roof,only way they get below 10 2 hours after is go for a walk.At the moment they are 18 and it's 11pm but in the morning they will be under 10,I can't risk going low again.Try and keep like all of us a good diet but the colitis does prevent me eating a high firbre diet.

I'll bump your post up for more replies. with regards to the insulin

U.C. has different trigger foods for individuals. Has your Consultant asked you to leave out all high fibre foods?


This article suggests some of the food triggers.

No, I'm type 1 and have ulcerative colitis. I'm obviously very fortunate as the only time my uc affects my diabetes is when I'm on steroids. If ur on medication for ur uc u should maybe chk with ur gp that they dnt hav sugar in the coating. Last year my meds got changed n my sugars were through the roof (sitting between 15-30 all the time). Eventually we realised it was actually my tablets!

I also avoid red meat and takeaways as they're murder for me. I know that fizzy juice and caffeine affect me quite badly too do I'm trying to cut them down
