5.8 this morning. Little higher than normal but still in the 5s so happy enough.

Question, what cheese was it? Cheese is my "go to" when I want a snack later in the evening as its fats rather than carbs. Never had it affect my numbers that I can tell...

Sorry it's been a while since I posted. I seem to have plateaued in my weight loss, only a .05kg last week. To be fair I'm not too worried about it. I'm just over 88kg at this point, almost literally half the woman I used to be and I've increased my exercise recently so it's possible that...

A nice 5.2 this morning.

I’m in IT so anything technology works for me, where food is concerned I use an app, to be exact, carbs and Cals (other apps are available ;) ). While it doesn’t force you to eat better, for me I find that seeing the numbers helps me to make better decisions. I also got all the gadgets at...

Hi, I know where your coming from, it took a major diabetic event to get me to buck my ideas up (had a DKA). That nearly died moment (wish I was joking but spent 12 hours in resus and the phrase “possible multiple organ failure” was said when I’m sure they though I was out of it) is what kicked...

24 hours after lowering my Lantus to 4 units and it’s 5.2 Was 6.2 at bed time (roughly where I aim for, high 5s low 6s at bed), and did second exercise (I exercise 1 hour a day. 30 mins after lunch, and 30 mins in the home gym after dinner). All looking good for staying on 4 units...

Last night I was feeling so tired I went to bed without second exercise (it’s like second breakfast but hurts more ;) ). Woke up at 5.1 So took the plunge and lowered my basal by 2 again which puts me on a huge 4 units of Lantus.

A 5.3 this morning, including some sugar free chocolate at bed time to give it a top up.

I like the conclusion, it seems to boil down to: It might help, it might not, so support the patient with what works best for them. And the the lovely we can't 100% trust the findings. :)

Wow! Those are some crazy numbers! Well, I can't comment on if it would help to stabilise the insulin amounts as while I'm on insulin and metformin, I'm at the point where I'm thinking of talking to my specialist about coming off the insulin (down to 6u basal and no bolas while eating around 90...

5.2 this morning after a 12g evening snack just before bed to make sure I didn't dip too low.

Hey all, Been a while. That work thing’s been getting in the way. 5.6 this morning. I’m fact, what’s the point you start to talk to the doc about coming off basal? I started at 24 basal and 6\bolas with meals when I left the hospital after my DKA in Jan. Now I’m on 6 basal, no bolas, and...

5.1 this morning, and that was with a 12g of carb snack late last night as I was in the 4s at bed time. Sort of understandable though, been doing a lot of work in the garden over the last week or so.

Hi, quick update on this one. I actually found no dough Pizzas at Sainburys. Half the pizza is around 30g of carbs and a 242 calories, made from pretty healthy ingredients, and vegan! It hits all the good points. I'm low carb rather than keto (I have around 90 - 100g carbs a day), so half...

That's a possibility.

Probably should have added that I'm a vegetarian...

Thanks but that's pretty high on the calorie front. At least for me.

Hi, not sure if to post this in low carb or low calorie but I think we'll try here first. So to help control my diabetes I'm on low carb and low calorie to lose the weight. It's going well but I have a real hankering for pizza. I'm not a fan of any of the riced cauliflower bases, and a recipe...

So a good ol' 5.3 this morning. In fact I've been finding my numbers running slowly lower over the last 3 weeks or so, To the point where I've had a couple of times of being high 4s\low 5s at bed time so ended up eating a granola bar to make sure they didn't go too low overnight. I assume due...
