It’s getting beyond a joke now. 2 whole months I’ve needed this insulin for, had to wait til end of sept just to sit down with my dsn. busting my back getting this new lifestyle change in place and results are lovely compared to my pre low carb. Miss the chaser jab for the protein and I may as...

Thanks Karen :)

It’s really getting me down @ziggy_w my father has only just passed away at 60, his main cause of death caused by diabetes, I’ve been nailing mine with low carb since end of June. August I needed the regular like dr b as protein is causing issues and I’m now stacking chasing it, if too much...

20.1 I feel dreadful. Was at 7.2 at 2100 hours. Shot up to 13.2 by midnight so had a few units to sort that. Isn’t helping I’m now being made into a case conference and still waiting after over two months to switch insulin by my diabetes nurse just to change from novorapid to actrapid, both gp...

He did used to use nph, I’m not sure he still does though, think he is using novolin r. I asked for regular insulin, the same as novolin r over in the states. However still rang no bells till I did a search, I’d even had a nice chat with novo Nordisk as well regarding this matter. All I needed...

That was where the use of good old google and a smart phone were of use, I had looked at the english before hand but then with some searching I found the right one. By the end of the appointment actrapid was the one I needed or Humulin s both our British names for regular or novolin r that I...

Hi @Grumpy ole thing , I was already very stressed in August when I found out that I needed a change and the so called diabetic specialist gp we have at our practice who was suppose to be brilliant and could aid in such problems as changing insulin’s was no help. So a referral was needed to the...

It’s not the practice diabetes nurse, it’s our local diabetic nurse specialist, 30 years in the job. Asked her about switching to regular insulin and she looked puzzled. Is human insulin that much more expensive than analogue?

Started following Dr. Bernstein’s diabetic solution end of June, figured out by the start of August my novorapid wasn’t sustaining long enough to catch the protein so needed a longer regular insulin to do the job. Got everything down to a tea, stronger and healthier than I’ve ever been. Was...

Thanks bluetit!! ;)

Good evening all, I hope everyone is doing splendidly. Need to dip my toe in your diabetes wisdom pool once again. ;) I’ve noticed that if I have an afternoon nap wake up with sugars ok and in a good range. Example today 5.9 an hour and half later I’m just under 9. Not eaten anything, nothing...

Had a little look as I have a packet in front of me. Beef mince, seems about right compared to the protein values and other sources of information who treat it the same as carbs except they halve it. Works out about right just like the formular for dr b’s. But I can now decrease that for the...

Thanks Paul.

I’ve got my proteins listed that I eat and on the list so far is 9 and they all have a different amount of protein. Some very dramatically different like in eggs compared to chicken is roughly half per 100g. Was wondering if there was a safe starter formula so I could compensate for the...

evening all, I hope your all well, I’ve been following dr Bernstein’s diabetic solution now since the end of June. Start of August I found out that the protein in my meals was out living my novorapid I was taking so chasing steady rises once that had run it’s course, which seems to be pretty...

Good morning all I hope your all set for the week ahead and have a glorious one. 5.7 at 0420 this morning back to sleep 0735 upon waking 6.6 (3 unit of novorapid) 0844 Pre breakfast 4.9 (1.5 units for my very low carb seed and nut alpro yogurt) good lashing of cinnamon. Like Xmas in a...

Just come across this whilst looking through clinical trials. This is happening at The imperial college London. A new kid on the block? Boasting a cheaper alternative to Dexcom and libre. Sounds promising.. Here’s the link http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214180416301490

I found this as well, some work really well. I got best results by letting them sit for 48 hours on je until I activated the new one. So I was applying 2 days before the old one was due to finish, had a lot better accuracy from the off found it was more in line with blood sugars, obviously...

My fitness pal has a pretty good nutritional info on it. When you add your food enteriez. You can also scan the barcode of your items if they have one and it saves them for quick access and calculations later. Brings up supermarket own brand items too. Very handy source if you don't want to use...

I very much doubt that about the Lipitor or the fact he will need it anytime soon. He has the heart of a healthy 21 or 30 year old, either way at 84 that's impressive. His calcification value is that of zero or as close as. His heart is in pretty dam good shape from his talks about exercise and...
