Like other T2s, I need to spend a penny more frequently that other people. Has anyone got any useful tips on how to last longer till the next visit?

Is LCHF. Low carb high fibre?

I eat fairly sensibly, I am T2 on metformin and insulin. I continually get readings in mid teens. Should I step up my insulin until I have pushed my readings down to acceptable levels?

Kenny didn't say it, it wad a fact stated by whoever wrote the article.

Checked by whom?

I have just read an article about all the weight lost by lenny henry. It says type 2 diabetes can be reversed. Can it?

I live in Scotland, have type 2, and get a six monthly check at hospital. While there, my eyes are checked out too. Should my feet be checked as well? No one has looked at them in 10 years of attendance. Can someone tell me what, if anything, I am entitled to? Thanks.

Hi Totto, what is NDF and LCHF?

So kind, thanks for your reply. If you met me in the street, you would think I was the picture of health! I hope your life improves and you pick up a bit - its not too much to ask, is it?

I am T2 on met and insulin. My readings are always highish, sometimes in the teens. Do I need more insulin? I also take thyroxine for my underactive thyroid and that is well monitored by the nurse. I am contimually tired, wanting to lie down wherever I am, and often have a nap in the...

I am T2 on insulin and tabs. Is there any harm in my taking probiotic capsules to help my digestion?

I mean 'BUY' in supermarkets!

I have a sweet tooth and like to end my evening meal with a pudding. Recently I have been having fresh fruit from the packs you but in supermarkets. By coincidence, I have had some very high readings this week and wonder if there is a connection. What are the safest 'puddings' we can eat? I am...

The past few days I have been doing readings much higher than normal. Some are high teens to low twenties. My diet is no different in fact I have cut back a bit as I have an upset tummy. Nothing too bad, just a bit "off". I have even started new insulin pens but readings still high. Could a mild...

Thanks.

I was taken out for lunch yesterday to a well known fish restaurant, and I weakly ordered the fish in batter with some chips. I must say I enjoyed every mouthful, it must be at least 10 years since the last one. However, that meany I really could not eat again at the evening and forced an egg on...

Despite all my best efforts I often register readings in the high teens. Whats the best way to lower them? Run round the block a couple of times or take a dose of insulin?

So grateful, that sounds about right. Many thanks for taking the time to answer. I feel a bit more calm now!

No, thats not it, thanks anyway. It involved adding my carbs, dividing by 10 to ascertain how much insulin to inject. I think he was telling me how much insulin to take if I recorded a high reading on my meter. For example, if my carb intake was 60, I would need 6 of insulin. But if my blood...
