    Yes I think so re the trialing of it. But if it works out it will be fantastic for type 2 people.

    First endocrinologist app.. EPIC WASTE OF TIME...

    Mmm I do agree to a point with you. But I still feel making me feel bad was not helpful atall.and I didn't get to ask alot of questions I had either. And I don't think that's helpful atall. But he still got paid so I guess that's the main thing.

    First endocrinologist app.. EPIC WASTE OF TIME...

    First endocrinologist app.. EPIC WASTE OF TIME...

    Hi everyone.... Well my endo app wasn't what I expected. Yes I have been lowering my insulin because I have gained weight, but as I am still producing insulin I thought this is the best time to try fiddle around a bit and see what works for me and my lifestyle. I asked if I could change to a new...

    Lowering your basal insulin.

    Hi. Things are okay. I still have high blood sugars so I think my visit to endo will result in higher insulin doses... I'm guessing. But I am not sick just thirsty and more than usual toilet trips... I'm implementing the low carb diet so that should help and start the gym this week... thank you...
