Ok so 4 weeks ago after 14 years with reasonably controlled type 2 diabetes I decided to get a grip. YES I KNOW far too late but eh oh at least I’m now having a go. I was 25 Stone and medication 4 weeks ago was Metformin and Glycliazide and 3 x Novarapid of 35ml and one Lantus if 116ml Daily.
So I embarked and joined SlimmingWorld. I have kept to the rules religiously and tbh this is the sublime to the ridiculous from 8 pieces of bread a day 2 crisps and chocolate to zero bread zero crisps zero chocolate!
My levels have reduced tremendously from between 9 and 15 to below 7 and a REDUCTION of doses dramatically to currently 3 x 17ml Novarapid and 60ml lantus 50% reduction. The diet has resulted in 13 pound loss in 3 weeks!
I am currently struggling with afternoon hypos and have stopped my one Novarapid today but am worried re these hypos.
My local diabetic advice is more or less non existent and I would appreciate and views on my management which it seems on my own with!
