Nice flat lines there..

Thank you so much @diamondnostril this is exactly the info I was looking for the 8 or so jabs a day are a nightmare due to splitting, then you have to time the split almost perfectly which is a pain as some protein sources digest quicker than others, I drop low due to the novorapid being too...

Good morning all, I hope you are all well. Anyone following dr Bernstein’s low carb approach and using actrapid or humulin s to cover meals? I’ve just been given the green light to try actrapid as I’m finding it hard to get good results using my novorapid with dr Bernstein’s low carb approach...

I thought as much regarding it still being active, it’s all quite a mine field really. In an ideal world we would be able to do things at the exact same time everyday and try and predict and deal with the possible dip with planned glucose tabs like dr b teaches. He gets you to formulate the...

Thanks @tim2000s you mention hard to exercise on, is this because of having insulin still active at the time of exercising? Do you split your doses also to cover protein and use novorapid? My metabolism is pretty sharp and I run on very low carb all the time. 6g in the morning if I have my...

Thanks @Jaylee, I’ve even told them to have a look at dr Bernstein’s approach to try and help others or at least give the ones who want to do something about their diabetes the chance. Did they bother of course not. It’s like so many people are saying to me and dr Bernstein when he said about...

They have given non and will continue to, it’s not from not asking either, they will not advocate low carb, I spoke to another dsn on the phone earlier from just up the road from me. In fact The stoke on Trent area, I’m from Staffordshire completely different team to my own and got the same...

Thanks again @Juicyj I’ve heard dr b talk about tresiba and I know he splits his levemir one in the evening the other upon waking due to dp. My dp has become very potent since my dads passing and is taking a lot more novorapid to get a handle on it. It’s been hard enough to get them to change my...

Thanks @Jaylee, I have been diagnosed for 17 years now, started on 2 injections of mixtard morning and tea time, was only 17 then so you can imagine the challenge that caused, the information was very scarce too, we live in a small county town and everything here seems to be almost light years...

Hi @novorapidboi26 i’ve got my balas tuned to 8 now from testing and the obvious pattern of lows during certain times of the day. Until I had a cgm on the night time was quite a mystery, obviously I wake for a bad night time hypo luckily, with what I was eating before going low carb I’m not...

Hi @Juicyj its the fact and the hassle of splitting my bolus, I’ve been doing this since August and if the timing is off then it’s undoing all the good work the low carb diets does for us. in the evening it’s getting close to bed and at 8 to 830 adding more insulin is not a position I want to be...

Thanks pip, I have already left a message with the secretary this morning before I posted as it’s been a week now and nothing. The lack of knowledge from both my nurse and consultant was shocking when I questioned certain things. when I mentioned low carb I may as well of spat in their faces, he...

Hi @helensaramay 8 units of lantus before bed and calculated doses of novorapid to match Carbs and protein in meals. I follow the 6-12-12 at meal times for my carbs. The lantus is tuned and is doing its job. higher doses and I go low during the day atleast twice. due to the upset I’m going...

Good morning all, I hope you are well. I’m still fighting but close to giving up now. I posted about this problem sometime ago, another month and a half on and still no support from both my diabetic specialist nurse and now even the consultant who actually laughed at me when I told him the...

Cheers for all the love and support this morning, cranked that nasty 20.2 down to a 6.3 before swimming, 2 dextros and 1275m later I feel brand new and sugars now in a nice post exercise range of 7.1 Time for my treat of the week a piece of quiche and green salad in our favourite coffee shop...

As you said you have been exercising, did you see if lactic acid produces the same effects on blood gas? You maybe burning away fat as energy hence the higher keytones. Again with low blood sugur they are perfectly fine and from understanding meaning your bodies burning the fat and not storing it.

My understanding is ketones are not bad if sugars are not dangerously high. That’s from dr Bernstein’s book. In fact he says keytones are good if your numbers are in the right values.
