My blood sugar is not good, it's in double figures with a HbAlc of 75. At the moment I'm on Novorapid 20 units 3 X day and Lantus 60 units at night. I'm 72 and have been diabetic for 40 years. On Sunday with Humulin M3, has anyone made this change, or using Humulin. Thanks

Thank you

Checked with my heart nurse today and unfortunately the low carb diet is not suitable with my heart problems. Think I will follow a low calorie diet. Thank you all for your advice

I'm type 1. Yes I agree about the amount of Lantus

I have found this very interesting. I have been on overnight Lantus for many years now but, I am up to 64 units now ! Morning bloods before breakfast are 10. Think I might ask my nurse about a change.

Will do, many thanks

Thank you for the advice, yes it has helped

Thank you will do some more research

Thank you, I will take my time before I do the changes

Hi, yes I am starting rehab very soon and see my heart nurse regularly, I will ask next week about the low carb and my heart issues. Had a look at it and., not sure that the one for me. There must be others as the one the dietitians suggested just leave me so hungry.

Hello At the moment just looking for the best diet for me. Not seen the low carb diet yet and the surgeons who deal with heart only refer me to my own GP, or diabetic nurses. I need to do research myself I think. I hope you are recovering well
