It just goes to show to trust your gut! If I hadn't been stung in the past I would never have questioned this! To some this would sound ideal!

This has made my day all the very best to you both I think its wonderful ❤

Sounded too good to be true @tim2000s

So I posted our suite of furniture for sale on Gumtree yesterday. I got the following email today. Is this dodgy? I don't know if this is normal but due to previous bad experiences I'm always thinking the worst!

When I have lots of thoughts going round and round preventing me from sleeping I make lists! Organising my thoughts on paper helps. I also need to read to make me tired it's a habit now. Hope you find something that works for you

I only use glucose tabs when I've nothing else as I find it so hard getting through the six tabs I need to raise my bg. Jelly babies or a 200ml carton of orange/apple juice works well for me.

@Brunneria I've been on Metformin 500mg twice daily since Jan. I've continued to binge and 'rage bolus' so don't feel it's had a chance to work when I've been 'abusing'. Working with a therapist now to deal with my issues and hoping a change to lchf will give me the boost I need to get better...

@Mrs Vimes after reading your posts there is no doubt in my mind I need to choose lchf. I eat masses of carbs and bolus huge amounts. I went through menopause early in my 20s and am on hrt. I do zero exercise. This all equals my lovely insulin resistance. No more excuses for me!

Thanks guys @TorqPenderloin I get what you mean-stick to the plan a couple months then find my own way to keep it part of my lifestyle. Thanks @AndBreath and @tim2000s I do think low carb is the most sensible way to go. I need to research on here. After years of binging I've forgotten how to...

So shortly after being diagnosed type 1 I was diagnosed with depression. I gave up on myself and binged my way through it. This has now led to me having gained 3 stone and becoming insulin resistant. I'm on MDI and metformin twice a day. The thing is I really WANT to get it together now. My...

Ah men!! They do think completely different from us. I get frustrated with my husband at times. Maybe try explaining how you feel and suggest a compromise. Sorry I haven't any great advice but I definitely sympathise xxx

Thank you @Sable_Jan very much needed and appreciated xx

So my gp has singed me off work with 'work related stress'. My readings on work days are always 16+ my BP yest was 180/110 pulse 102 and I've been getting chest pains. So now I'm stressing how I'll cope on stat sick pay and also stressing that it will effect me getting the new job that I've...

That helps massively @tim2000s thanks for laying that out so clearly for me too!

Oh right I'm so confused then. I thought my bedtime levimer would be what I need to adjust to give me a morning bg within range? @tim2000s ? I definitely need to get Reading this book lol

Thanks so much @novorapidboi26. Will give that a go. Hopefully if I get my night time basal right and wake up with lower numbers will be easier to figure out my day time adjustments

OK my last three overnight checks were: 9pm 9.1 3am 12 8am 13.6 1030pm 11.1 3am 14.1 8am 16.8 11pm 8.4 3am 10 8am 14.7 I was taking 16u levimer at bedtime now increased to 18u but readings similar. I take 8u levimer in morning but yesterday increased that to 10u. I'm not sure how to check...

@azure thanks a million

I'll maybe go with think like a pancreas first then @noblehead then when I feel I've a better grip on things move onto Dr bernstein. Thanks for replying :) have a good day

It's Dr Bernstein noblehead. Seems a bit americanised and centers around low carb from first glances but I think that's the direction I may need to head
