Think I'll stick with my insulin jabs - something I know and trust, and can adjust if necessary.

My dog surprised me - she definitely knows when my sugar levels are dropping dangerously low - she sits there, pawing me! It took me ages to catch on that the two were related! She's a very bright dog!

The only thing that worries me a little bit about the Corona virus is if my partner gets it. He's 82, with COPD, and always finds damp weather impacts on his chest. So he is sensibly staying indoors, not mixing with crowds and living on a diet of cups of tea, normal food and all the cricket he...

Good luck, let us know how you get on!

6.1 this am. Have just been put on duraglucide so having to adjust insulin, but this is ok.

Well today hasn't been too bad, bit of nausea, and needing to go to the loo a bit more often than usual, and not feeling great. But it's the first day, I expect it'll improve soon. How are you getting on?

I did it about an hour ago, feel a bit nauseous, but I was warned about that. Keeping my test kit close by!

I've just been put on this drug too, so I'd be interested to know how you find it.

Thank you, I am pleased! No, I don't know how my pancreas is working, I don't know if any of my blood tests show that, what test is it? I have to go back to see my consultant in five weeks time, i can ask him then. First injection today, fingers crossed!!

Thank you all for your suggestions. I've just today been put onto Dulaglutide as well as my insulin, so am going to get used to this before any dietary changes.

I dreaded going onto insulin, but in the end had to, as both metformin and gliclazide made me very ill! Have been on it for about 13 years now and find that once you sort out your levels, it's not a problem at all. But keep blood testing to begin with, so you can keep a good check on things. I...

I've just seen my diabetic consultant this morning, he's pleased with my blood sugar levels, my HBa1c is 40. He's put me on this new (to me) drug, which is GLP-1 therapy to help even out and gradually lower the blood sugars hopefully leading up to (at some stage in the future) a kidney...

Thank you for your replies, I had wondered if it would be sensible to try this approach, but I think probably not.

I'm T2 but on insulin M3 and have been for about 12 years. I've been doing low carb for quite some time, and am losing weight, but quite slowly. I usually take my insulin soon after waking, and then have something to eat about an hour later. If I wanted to fast until my evening meal at 6pm, when...

95.1k this am - pleased as weight has been a bit up and down and this is definitely a loss!
