Whow that's quite shocking those two pictures. Is that you losing weight while you didn't no you had diabetes? Yes I will get a plan going on weds at my appointment. I'll have 4 units lantus tomorrow morning. I have children but there adults. I will try to get the sugars down this week. They...

Oh yes it is high. But I'm sort of use to 30 an HI. On my meter. I've been drinking water I'm in bed I did the stick thing it's only at 1+ for ketone but of course the highest for sugars. I'll have my insulin tomorrow morning. I read the dka thread that was a bit scary. But very good...

Oh thank you azure I'll look at that.... really can things deteriorate quickly. Hard to imagine I feel so good. But I totally believe what you are saying... I'll also fill on my endocrinologist this weds too re my new plan I'm trialing and hoping it will work. Tho that's probably my denile at play.

Yes I look forward to being on that track. Yes I did read something about a pancreas there making. It's so exciting. Just hope it's not a million bucks to get one.

I definitely feel fine so far. I'm drinking water now too ditched the coke....of course going toilet an thirsty is part n parcel with high sugars. But I feel ok. At least I'll go to bed at least not worried like I do with low sugars.... what should I look out for re symptoms re this dka Azure?

Yes it is definitely alot to learn and trial for yourself and to accept I think is the hardest part. It's not nice knowing you are stuck with insulin for ever or you die. So it's a bit of a huge adjustment for sure. Thank you

I will ring tomorrow. Too fill them in. Thank you very much... have a great day

I'm in new Zealand. My bs is 28.8. And I'm getting the blood ketone strips tomorrow from the chemist. I feel fine I'm fine. Certainly better than a 4 an having a hypo. Tomorrow I'll be drinking water and eating eggs bacon. Having my 4 units of basal an see how go. Thank you for your advice...

I have checked an keatones are only 1. So I'm pretty good I think. I imagine being type 1 if that's the case that I probably have some I still make do you think?Hence this being a good time to sort out the insulin regime that's best for me. I've been told to do 16 units then back to 10 then 8...

Oh... are you sure gad tests can't be wrong tho..... oh boy. Ok well no I do not want that ketosis thing. I do have a meter for that but used the urine one an I'm fine. Thanks alot I'll have a rethink tonight as to tomorrow going forward.

Oh great thank you very much. Have to be honest was a bit of a blow today for my first lchf day. First I forgot to even inject my lantus atall but I'm fine so far just the usual toilet visits an thirst .. but my was I craving sugar and I caved today. So m an ms an 2 litre coke it was. I'll write...

Oh okay. Great thanks alot. Yes I'm sure I'll be a whizz in a year or so. For now I'm taking notes.. thank you very much for all the information. Much appreciated...[emoji4]

Yes that was a great example. I cook for 4 tho so if I make say lasagna I would have to guess as to my slice of it what the carb content would be. Or do I weigh it all and then divide by 4? I think I'll ask to see a dietitian as well just so I'm on the right track. Thank you so much for your...

I noticed most people have between 80g and 150g. That seems alot. I have always done 20-50g. Nothing to do with diabetes I use to do Atkins years ago and have stuck to that on and off. Tho I don't really count veges as there healthy.... I do include fruit tho... an that's from an Atkins carb...

I've ordered that book from the library I think you may have mentioned it in another thread of mine. It must be popular as its still out... I will ask the endocrinologist on the 10th re info on carb counting too. How do you mean "when" to bolus and "how" much? I was on 3 apidra each meal time...

I'll start tomorrow but I won't change my basal from 4 units yet an I'll continue with no bolus for a few days anyway just to see how 30grams of low carb will go on only 4 units basal... I suspect I'll have to raise it to 6 in a few days but while I'm on 4 I may as well go up slowly and see what...

Hi Tim Yes I am going to do low carb again as soon as I'm back to 60kg. My dn said you can eat what you like cause you can bolus but not all the time as in junk constantly... I do find tho when you hypo cause you need sugar I find it sort of sets me off on a sugary day full stop really.... it's...

23kg not 33

Hi. I was on 3 units apidra 10 lantus... I don't know how to carb count. My dn said not to worry about this yet. I get the feeling she thinks I have a food issue problem or a weight one... yes I don't like to go under 57kg or over 61kg. But that's a guide I gave myself as I worked hard to cut...

Hi azure. I'm 5.7 in height And currently 64kg I was 58kg. I wouldn't say I over eat but I have gone back to eating carbs like bread rice pasta potatoes chips etc that I gave up for a long time... I haven't told my dn as yet but I see her and the endocrinologist 10th August... I will fill them...
