i have recently been put on humelin ad am type 2. i have been told i have to eat within 15 mins of injecting to avoid a hypo

Amazing achievement, well done! I have lost weight on low carb but not getting my numbers down. I would be interested to hear what your daily diet consists of. As for family my mum doesn't understand and I have to just say, this way of eating works for me. If I eat the stuff you cook I will be...

its important to finger prick because thats how you work out what foods suit you. They tell us not too. I didnt and my numbers went high. If I had been testing I would have realised and taken action

I had antibiotics for an infection and got highs of 17. I drank water, walked etc and it came down to 11. Sress makes it worse so try not to worry toomuch. If in doubt speak to her GP

I was told on diagnosis in 2018 not to test as not necessary for type 2s and NICE recommendations are that it isnt necessary therefore not readily available on...

Can I ask what you eat for fibre. I struggle with that part of it. The dietician I spoke to said include whole grain sourdough bread, brown rice,oats and potatoes occasionally but to me that conflicts with the low carb way of eating

84 was my highest but I suspect next one will be higher! I managed to go from 84 to 47 in 3 months but lately its been running high again

The best advice I was given was to eat fruit straight after a meal or with a meal as this can mitigate a spike. Never eat on its own as a snack. My dietician reminds me its low carb not no carb but choose healthy carbs, small portions and not every day. My cholesterol is high despite me...

I get sweats that start on my face and can drip down esp at night time. As you say can start after eating . I dont know if it is diabetes related or not

I am not good in hot weather either, I find my sleep is poor, my BG is elevated and I seem unable to control my body temperature
