If my BG is at 4 after driving home from work and my evening meal is going to be an hour a pint of good craft beer makes everything OK

Good luck stay calm and focused then if you are not getting anywhere just keel haul them and swing them from the yard arm aarrrgghh

Usually 5.3 to 5.7 every day, 16ml of Lantus before bed seems to be working

I find the book Carbs and Cals has turned into my "bible" 1mg of Apidra for 10grms of carbs. And 16mg of Lantus before bed. So far so good. The only time I go off track is at the week end when I am busy working in the garage, garden etc

Please find out ASAP, its not fun when you have one for the first time.

Same here I can phone or visit the Diabetic clinic at any time. It is great being a stand alone building within the hospital complex.

Great dietician, brilliant diabetic nurse, very good consultant. (must be a Welsh thing) And my GP has taken me off Statins due to it causing me to buy shares in Andrex, if you get my drift

Placed my mark

Hi I was in the same position as you 6 months ago, didn't have a clue. I have a very good NHS diet clinic and nurse. Buy the book carbs and Cals off Amazon I found it a great help. I dose 1mmg of insulin (apidra) for every 10grms of carbs and it seems to work for me. I take 16mmg of lantus...

6.1 before bed. 5.1 at 06:30

Two Weetabix, skimmed milk, small banana piece of hovis toasted, cup of tea no sugar.

I am so glad you wrote this as I was having difficulties understanding the carb protein dosage regime. A big thank you.

Brilliant I am no longer confused: will lower my carbs and increase my protein now I know how to calculate my dosage. Was getting paranoid to say the least.

I have read the thread all the way through and I have learned a lot. I am going to try some of the suggestions, at the moment I am managing pretty well

I never seem to know what I am going to eat so carb counting and dosage can only be achieved once I have obtained my food. I have a very stressful job and making sure I have the correct carb intake cannot always be pre- planned I am on Apidra Solo Star and Lantus for my background.

I wish someone would be honest regarding Statins, are they good for you or not and if not why did the hospital put me on them!!

I did initially but it is growing well again, cant be a pirate with short hair

I take Lantus before bed and find my morning reading to be between 5.5 and 6.2. I take Apidra solostar 3 times a day with food. had a few Hypos when I have not eaten enough carbs, usually in the afternoon when work gets very stressful. has anyone else noted the effect of stress related to Hypos?

Wow what a scary thread, I am taking atorvastatin every night. No side effects yet but am getting worried after reading all the posts
