[QUOTE="julie1881, post: 643517, member: 130044"] Thanks everyone your advice is fab and I am taking it all in :) I am on Humulin M3 & taking it twice a day - the dietitian did say there is another types of insulin they could put me on an over night long acting one and then inject before meals 4 times a day but that will be in the future - I am keeping a record of all my BG levels and talk to my diabetic nurse twice a week - I'm going to see a specialist nurse but that also isn't until November I've been told not to carb count or weigh things out - just to be sensible.(I asked specifically about this because I'd read about it before going) I had a list a mile long of what I wanted to eat & was told if I wanted 2 crumpets I could have them I just needed to cut down on the carbs at my next meal - if I want a cream bun I can have one because the fat in them makes them long acting (does that make sense? It did when she explained it to me haha) I don't eat cream cakes every day I'm not that daft - but its nice to know I can have one. What she said made compete sense to me - if I have a curry have boiled rice - not boiled rice and chapatis and onion bhaji s and .......If I want a pudding I cut down on the potato's or chips (I don't eat chips) with my main meal - oh I'm rambling now - I guess I've got to trust her and I've already noticed how things affect my BG - its early days isn't it? Thanks all for your help I do appreciate it - I've got no one else that understands so it's been wonderful to come here thanks again xx [/QUOTE]
