Gosh that’s depressing. The just started and I’ve already put on weight.I am officially overweight now after 2 years in insulin....but I was not before. I gained 10 kilos because of the side effect of insulin and even with a diet doing low carbs, I am struggling to loose weight. So hopefully seeing my GP this next two weeks, we might try some different medication.

Crikey. And I find it hard to exercise. I’m thinner in this photo. I’ll give up if I can’t control my weight. I can’t imagine going back to where I was. Twenty years ago.Yeh insulin is a fat storing hormone as my endo reminded me. It's known for causing weight gain. I have a quite a few things contributing to my weight gain. I have the added problem of bloating. It makes wearing clothes that fit and are comfort hard to find.

Grrrr. Insulin since April 2018. And I’ve put on 9 kilos. Trulicity has stopped the gain but I can’t get off insulin.Crikey. And I find it hard to exercise. I’m thinner in this photo. I’ll give up if I can’t control my weight. I can’t imagine going back to where I was. Twenty years ago.
Do you prebolus?18 units
Humalin I bedtime
This is my limit if I don't want hypos during non meal times
4 to 6 to 8 to 10 units
Novorapid Before meals depending on meal
I find I have to accept spikes of 13 after certain meals or I go hypo after a lower spike, so high spike no hypo, I think my hba1c will be better, 81 3 months ago and hoping for in the 40’s next time, not sure how much damage the spikes are doing but dont see a way around it if I dont want hypos
I eat reduced carb
I think I’m going to leave this forum. The low carb zealots are starting to irritate me. My diabetes is at the stage where even the carbs in veggies (and I don't mean starchy ones, rather stuff like tomato and carrot) will cause a spike for me. My nephrologist has warned me away from reducing carbs any further and against increasing protein because of my kidney disease. After thirty years of this disease I think it's safe to say 'we ain't all the same'. A totally plant based diet worked for me for ten years, then it didn't.Do you prebolus?

I've not heard of half unit pens and can't see the point with so little difference between a unit and half a unit.
I've never used an aftercare tel. number as the diabetic side of my meds are overseen by my diabetologist.
