    Premix insulin

    I take 12 units morning an night. My bs are ok it was more the fact I can't seem drop weight yet I'm eating like 40grams 50 maybe of carb. I'm considering the ketogenic diet so I'll try taking only 20 grams of carb a day for 4 weeks see how that goes if an insulin change isn't a good idea.

    Premix insulin

    No problems atall with the lantus . I'm just finding it difficult on a lchf diet to lose weight it's proving quite difficult so thought I might try a different insulin. If I get a pump next week I'm a bit concerned as I read you put on weight so I'm now thinking not to get a pump.

    Premix insulin

    Does anyone know about the 30/70 humulin or lispro 75/25? Is this insulin good? Does it keep blood sugars low and is it less likely to smack weight on. I'm trying to find some better options than lantus. We are not funded in new Zealand for levemir unfortunately.

I just can't seem to lose anything but slowly week by week gaining. I'm 46 so it's pretty hard as you get older to lose weight without type 1 diabetes. I use...
