A number of posts have been deleted as they are off topic. Please remember this post is about whether companies should list the GI index on foods which are high carb. It is not the place for a debate about low carb or low fat diets. Regards Lakeslover, on behalf of the mod team.

I will just caveat my comments by saying I’m type 2 no it 3c, so what works for me may not be right for you. I suggest you go to your appointment with a list of written questions. One might be on splitting the Lantus dose. It works for me, but I did it because Lantus wasn’t working the full 24...

hi and welcome to the forum, If you are craving a salty snack try serious pig snacking cheese. It’s in some shops and also on Amazon. A good crunchy hit. There are also cheesies which are similar. Or of course pork scratchings which are crunchy, salty, and shouldn’t raise your blood sugar.

To conform with forum rules please can you provide references (including relevant data) from a recognised source for the two points you make above. These should be provided within 24 hours or moderators will delete the post.

Unfortunately most type 2 diabetics are not able to get a CGM on the nhs. It is possible for some type 2s using more than one insulin.

Hi Mark, I don’t use trurapi myself but have you seen this post https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/what%E2%80%99s-everyone-planning-now-that-levemir-is-going.210644/page-3#post-2801748

I’m using the libre 2+. I’ve had one failure in the last 18 months which was a sensor which didn’t start at all. Abbott replaced it with no issues.

Hi, I managed to convince my diabetic nurse to move me from just a basal (long acting) insulin twice a day to a MDI regime in January. It was the best thing I did. Although I was already carb counting to try and control my blood sugar….which wasn’t working. For the carb counting itself there...

Hi, I have mild neuropathy and definitely notice it is worse when I’m hot, particularly in bed at night. I can’t comment on possible treatments as I haven’t tried any yet. But I just wanted to let you know it’s fine to ask on the forum for opinions on whether acupuncture may help you with...
