Hello @Jaylee, Yes, I do Fiasp, and Tresiba, with a Jardiance tablet.

So I was put on insulin before Christmas because my A1c was at 103. I found out about this forum at just about the same time. Here It was suggested that one answer to control of diabetes T2 was to go on a low carb diet. The thinking was no sugar going in will mean low BG levels and a reduced...

Hello @NKIqbal1994, Yes it could be the prednisone, and if it is perhaps I would need to increase my insulin units, as it may be more important to have BG at a lower level. I will consider asking the doctor about changing from the steroid, but some of the alternatives are plasmapheresis, and...

Hello @EllieM, Well that is a lot to unwrap. Yes, and it is quite interesting and informative. I know that steroids affect diabetes, in that my neurologist originally sent me to the diabetic clinic four years ago because of the high doses steroids. But then I only did the metformin tablets, and...

Hello @MrsA2, Well I do have some other meds, some things like blood thinners, iron and calcium, something for cholesterol. Main medication is prednisone and mestinon, which I have been doing for the past 4 years. But these are only small tablets, they are more to do with immune system than...

Hello @Resurgam, Ah well, the floor is just as far away, however my feet have been within reach over the past two weeks. That is somethng that was has been a problem for the past 10 years. I used to wonder how to check my feet for diabetic problems, and now it is not such a big problem to...

Hello @Resurgam Strange that you should ask, but although my weight is still approximatly the same, my waistline looks as if it has changed. I will look into this liver and glucose thing a little closer. Thank you. Royjk

Hello @Marikev Thanks for your suggestions. I live on the edge of the city, so there are 5 supermarkets within easy shopping distance, all of them have low carb offers, but I don't really fancy most of them. So buying the right fresh food is not difficult here. I often shop in the morning as...

Hello @MG426 Yes, I would love to go for a walk after eating, however that is just a bit difficault at the moment. Royjk

Hello @KennyA , Yes, that sounds like a good idea. I have tried to stick too a similar eating habit over the past five weeks. Mostly, Breakfast, mint tea, bacon, egg, tomatoes Lunch, chicken or fish, boiled brussels, leak, broccoli, small carrot, Evening meal, ham, boiled egg, celery, red...

So, after 5 weeks of intensive interest in type 2 diabetes, I have read lots and have been doing my medications. I started a low carb diet, cutting out all of the food that I enjoy, and I started taking a SGLT2 inhibitor, two things that reduce sugar in my blood. Also I started basal and bosul...

Hello @Crocodile, I started Jardiance four weeks ago along with insulin, due to high blood test readings and a high HBA1c 103. So I only have limited experience. Tablet had no noticable effect, did not see any change in water flow rates, or bad feelings. I have eGFR 0.41and according to the...

Hello @DJA-440 Funny thing but 4 weeks ago I got told by my doctor that A1c was over 100 and got given pens to do insulin 4 times a day. Don't know about the ketones and missed out on the hospital bit, but I was 29 on the finger blood test. I came to this site then and they suggested it was...

Hello @lovinglife So my nefrologist did not recommend a level, but he did give me some special food/tablets to ensure I got the essential amino acids while I am on the low diet and eating veg. Internet says I should do 0.55g per KG of body weight, but I have just this minute read that for...

Hello @Melgar I tried some special tablets for this allergy when I was in my early 30's, but the allergy continued, and I eat very carefully. Royjk

Hello @MrsA2 I have never eaten cheese, yoghurt or ice cream in living memory, I always did lollies or sorbet, and never found a need for any milk products, so I think that I would be unlikely to lose a lifetime allergy just like that. Although I do take medicene with a lactose warning. So I...

Hello @lovinglife Yes it is true that I can start to consume some of these oils, which I do not at the moment. But my problem is the very low protein diet which I have broken in order to reduce carbs in my diet. Royjk

Hello @Antje77 Well a bit is a way of describing something serious. I have found that I go into shock when my stomach receives the butter, and the smell is absolutly revolting. Usually a couple of shots of strong spirit or hot black coffee with a few hours sleep take away the effects, if I...

Hello @Antje77, Since getting diabetes 4 years ago I have also picked up 3rd stage CKD, and that needs very low protein to extend the time until serious treatment. So I have been doing lots of veg, and little protein. Also I have been a bit lactose intolerent all my life, so lots of fatty...

Just before Christmas I started on the next part of my advetures with type 2 diabetes. So, I have just spent the past four weeks getting my mind around a low carb diet, to help lower my HBA1c and it has shifted from 103 down to 76 mmol/l which I am quite pleased with. I have good morning finger...
