Oops missed this earlier in the thread.Hi I'm type 2 I'm on humulin I insulin 30 mls twice a day
No carbs in an omelette really.Thanks for your reply iv tried reducing my insulin in the morning and have an omelette for breakfast have a hypo 2 hours later do eat some carbs like bread and some biscuits feel fine then I do my blood sugar at t time and they r up to between 8&9 so iv started having cereal in the morning a sandwich at dinner and potatoes with my evening meal my sugars seem to b ok with this but I'm not losing any weight iv lost 17 pound altogether but seem to have stuck since starting insulin 8 weeks ago x
Just an update, went to see specialist again only a week after my stay in the madhouse. Have had no adverse reaction to new meds, except I am feeling the cold! Still on a restrictive diet. Low carbs high protein. Meat and salads etc. no need to eat as many meals, have to experiment gradually with different foods, again! So far so good no hypos, no blurred vision for two weeks, feeling a lot better. Lost over a stone in two weeks.Oh, that is brilliant news! Very pleased for you - and delighted you are feeling better! Hope it continues!!!
This is interesting, i'm thinking of getting some professional reiki treatment myself, are you still using this, would you still recommend it?Ok here is a strange experience. I went on a course to learn Reiki. This is an esoteric healing technique. I am primarily rational in my outlook, evidence based, scientific, etc. But people had done Reiki on me and it made me feel better so I thought I would learn how to do it on myself. What happened was that my insulin correction factor (ISF) jumped overnight from 1:1.5 to nearly 1:3, the highest it has ever been before or since, and remained there for several weeks, dropping slowly to 1:2 for several months, which is about as good as it ever gets when I am super healthy. The other thing I did at the same time was stop caffeine cold turkey, no other health changes. Whether it was the caffeine or the Reiki, it was an incredibly dramatic overnight change with clear and consistent physical evidence.
I have wondered if what happened was a sudden reduction in my overall stress levels. Both the Reiki and the caffeine cessation could have contributed to that. But I think it was more the Reiki because I could reliably increase my ISF at any time just by doing a single treatment. Very strange.

I would highly recommend it but keep an eye on your blood sugars in the hours and days afterward.This is interesting, i'm thinking of getting some professional reiki treatment myself, are you still using this, would you still recommend it?
