I don't worry about calories either.......my main concern is carbohydrates as they have a definite effect on my Bg levels. I have been on Byetta for over 2 yrs and lost loads of weight. The diet that suits me is not based on calories at all. If I ate the recommended daily level of calories I...

Slightly confusing.....if you are treating a hypo then you must have a low Bg level ? The tingling is just one of the many hypo symptoms people may experience because of the low Bg levels. In my case it lasts from before when levels are low and starts to go only when the levels rise. As far...

Diet advice........ :( Yep, I stuck to the diet advice NHS/DUK for over 10 years. I was a good lad ! I ended up 19 1/2 stone, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, blurred vision, masses of medication, sleeping the clock round, no energy, and worst of all.....a Triple Coronary Artery...

Re: VICTOZA Anna Here is a link to the Community page information which might help explain things a bit better : http://www.diabetes.co.uk/insulin/multi ... erapy.html The Basal is just slow acting stuff over the day, however the Bolus or MDI means when you eat you will inject more Insulin...

Counselling might need to be an ongoing thing together with some Meds......mine was and it eventually subsided once I had come to terms with all the issues about PTSD I was suffering. It will always be there but at least I now know how to control it and avoid those situations which can bring...
