    Sandwiches

    You are doing awesome. Do you have any self referral counselling in your area? I only ask as I'm in Bedford and I know we do. Ps home bargins sell the pub size packs of peanuts for about 10 or 20p - not sure if that would help as you eat the portion?

    Omeprazole capsules

    No they don't slow down digestion they are a stronger form of antacid as far as I understand, don't worry about overnight hypos - also try something like fruit juice its the quickest of the lot I find.

    Can't get my head around ...massive insulin doses

    So assuming your job is really physical and you normally use the gym as well you're surprised your insulin sensitivity has gone up?! I wouldn't stress currently, when you pick back up itll come down again

    Can’t work up the nerve to throw away an old pump

    I keep my old pump as a spare. Some older pumps are loopable (especially Medtronic) and could therefore be gifted to others if it helps?

    Type 2 Stopping Insulin Injections?

    Yeah low carbing is the new version which is a lot healthier - it excludes less and is slightly less prone to carb flu plus is more sustainable :) good work though

    Type 2 Stopping Insulin Injections?

    Sounds like she doesn't have much of a clue however what she's concerned with is the background amount you're getting. Try and been seen at a proper clinic and avoid atkins try low carb instead - its much easier

    Low Carb Question

    I doubt it as the 'range' used to say thyroid is ok is far too large and you can get symptoms of low or high at either end. Highly personal, bit like diabetes.
