Insulin choices

[cdpm]

Ii currently use a premixed insulin.
I have tried a bolus and basal
Routine.
But I found them to make me ravenous.
I think it was the basal.
So got switched to the premix.
Which works well for my bs numbers.
Without the daily adjustments based on carbs.
eaten.
But it forces me to eat when I'm not
hungry because it contains regular insulin
too not just the basal. And needs food with
It in 30 minutes. And since I sleep in so
late from bad sleep I'm taking the first
injection late but still not hungry.
As far as foods I've cut out and back
as far as I can possibly go .

I know people here can't give certain advices
But what should I do? What can I do?

Do I want to be so hungry all the time
Or have to eat when I'm not?

Hi, moving to fixed mixed doses reduces any flexibility you had to either not eat or eat at different times, although I have read people can do well on it, I have no idea how.

The problem is, we can’t have our cake and eat it, you are just going to have to wake yourself up and eat if you prefer this method over feeling ravenous all day, no ones method is hassle free. Diabetes sucks.

Best of luck
