[QUOTE="Molly56, post: 878940, member: 84857"] [USER=48386]@Indy51[/USER] ...thank you for your reply.... As an update my partner is taking his diabetes and diet far more seriously compared to six months ago and has made considerable progress in looking at what he is eating and trying to eat the right things / not eat the wrong things....he now looks at the carb content of food when purchasing and is much more aware of what he eats....he has recently taking to eating more salad and has virtually given up potatoes and bread...I only cook potatoes for myself now......he doesn't drink alcohol and has given up fizzy drinks....all he drinks is water and a daily cup of coffee...there are still a few poor food choices that he knows he shouldn't be having (at least he recognises this) but on the whole I would say that it is much improved... [USER=88961]@AndBreathe[/USER] Since starting on the insulin bs levels have come down from the high teens he had before....morning levels are generally under 10...evening levels are still in the low to mid teens...but lower than previously... Activity levels are unchanged and is as before...relatively inactive ....but other than that I do feel that some progress is being made... I do still feel that the cocktail of medication is not necessarily helping as it is difficult to identify which bits are working and which are not....perhaps naively I thought that starting on insulin would mean less oral diabetic medication but this doesn't seem to be the case...
