[QUOTE="masonap, post: 1573633, member: 330514"] I'm type 2 and have been on tablets for a long time, and 18 months ago was also started on insulin. I have cut as many carbs from my daily food intake as I can without being silly about it. Yes you're right to cut out the obvious bad carbs (cakes, biscuits, sweets, chocolate, fizzy drinks, etc.) but you also need to watch out for bread, pasta, rice & potatoes. I exercise every day by walking (mostly uphill) or cycling for an hour and whilst doing that I have snacks of fruit, cereal bar, a couple of squares of dark chocolate & mixed nuts and this helps me to keep up my energy levels without getting a hypo. As I've been doing this for about the last 6 months or so I don't feel hungry very often, except when it really is coming up to the next meal time - I try to keep my meal times at the same time each day. In my normal day I try to keep snacking down to just one item between meals (like a piece of fruit or some nuts) and as a result I'm heading towards losing a stone in weight. Good luck on your personal journey, I hope that you can make changes and avoid the complications that Diabetes can lead to if not well controlled. [/QUOTE]
