This thread isn't doing what was wanted. It wasn't meant to be about my diabetes at present. It was to find how many people on here were using meds and insulin. For type 2. Sorry it hasn't worked.... my 3 stone weightless has nothing to do with insulin. That isn't something I wanted to...

Yes it might help. Thank you. All I wanted to know was whether there are many type 2s use 1 dose of insulin. And can knowledgeable contribute to this special thread. I was getting replies from type ones. I don't think that should be allowed. The answers didn't help

It Would be helpful to know how many type 2 diabetics reading this specialist thread; take medication AND one dose of insulin a day. see poll . .

I will send a message to the doctor re the timing of the Levemir dose. I don't recall being told anything about this dose. In fact ,the nurse who told me nothing about anything, has left. It would be worth a message. My GP insists the diabetes is under control. Id prefer to go up to 8 st...

Out of interest how do you split your insulin treatment.

My GP phoned me re a hypo. After a discussion she assured me that she still believes my diabetes is under control. Re insulin testing . There are 4 rules to be sent to the hospital . I only have one. The GP wants me to co tinge with the regular finger prices,monitoring the 90 day average...

Insulin is Levemir - 1 x 20units on waking ..... oddities;- by 9.30 after egg or fish breakfast with small slice of wholemeal bread Iusually have hungry feelings. Reading has gone up 4 - 5 points from waking . To 12 - 14. overnight readings drop by 50% to 60% - advised to have more...

I use a fingerprick device to check readings about6 times a day with a monitor, occasionally i get caught out with a hypo even tho I took a good reading b4 leaving home. i.e a drop from 7 or even 9 within 90 mins to 2.6 - 3.9. My GP is ringng me, a nursing friend suggested a body...

Desmond diabetes courses, Groups were recommended to me 4 years . Sadly,there have been no face to face groups within 30 miles since Covid! Online info or groups may be the answer. Has anyone found any online Desmond courses or tried these ? Does this website do any comprehensive ones...

Thanks I wondered about the insulin. Wondering if it kicks in soon enough to cope with breakfast. My friend and I both take about 1 tblspn of milk in a mug of coffee so 3 tblspn 7am - 8.15

My readings by 10a.m usually rise 5 points to 12. 13. Sometimes 15. Working out why has proved tough. Insulin 20 units is taken around 6.45. Breakfast of egg or fish , occasional oats with 1/6 apple plus 1 slice of small wholemeal loaf. A friend went for a previous...

Yes. Me too. My diagnosis is type 2 now with 1 Insulin a day. 2 weeks ago I was able to ta.k to a new nurse. She gave me a dietary sheet for type 2 which was very helpful. Following that I spoke to a trainee registrar who Listened . he suggested more carbs in the early eve meal. the...

7.1 which is great for me . It was 12 at bedtime. No testing at 2am nor the dilemma re a 5 or 6 Eat or not eat ? to prevent later hypo dr suggestion of more carb at teatime seems to have stopped the nighttime worries and dilemmas. Not sure why I get a 40 _ 50% drop overnight

Hi Ive colored it in, but i will see the Nurse on Friday . I'll ask if she can spare another
