Thank you all. You are very helpful and I must say your advices and encouragement are even more valuable than what I get from professionals.

Thank you so much for confirming my mistake.Had practically no food after insulin which led to hypo and then had too much sugar scared of 2.3. Will have to be wiser with more food after insulin to prevent sharp drop of bg. Thanks again

Type 2 with Insulin Injected usual dose (mixture of fast and long acting) around 7 pm, had only mozzarella and cucumber, then around 10 pm symptoms of hypoglycemia. Bg was 2.3 ! Had two moderate slices of brown bread, a few sips of coke, handful of dried fruit and couple of biscuits, then again...

Thank you. Right, it was a drop and it continued to 3.1 after evening insulin dose and long walk without any food.Was just very upset with 7.8 (never had it so high in months).Trying to figure it out what could have caused the rise; back pain, extreme heat, today.Whatever it was must accept the...

Six months after the diagnosis and heart attack,weight loss and latest HbA1c 23 mmol/mol. Got very upset in the afternoon (3 hours after lunch) with the following readings of Contour plus meter (4 readings within 45 minutes) 8.7 7.8 5.3 5.0 Contour plus is probably not the best choice or...

I had similar question here. Lost over 40 lb, but cannot lose weight forever.Meaning, caloric intake should be increased and I was told to add more proteins, then fat.But never, ever return back to carbs. E.g. I had one egg for breakfast, now I have two.I eat more fats from fish and nuts. Again...

As long as it`s subcutaneous fat tissue any site will do. I prefer abdomen (twice a day), away from the umbilicus even 5 inches on both sides. Lost more than 40 lb but still enough subcutaneous fat.

There is a rule of thumb, or golden rule. FORGET CARBOHYDRATES. It`s not difficult to find online what`s forbidden for us with type 2. Very simple rules: NO CARBS.

I am sure you have many medical reports;the most recent will do. I was flying to Germany a month ago full of medications and insulin vials.

Thank you for very sound advice. I have about 10 lb more to reach optimal BMI. Never back to carbs,though.Fatty fish and nuts will do.

Six months after diagnosis (type 2) and a coronary. Lost 40 lb on low carb diet and still losing weight. All results significantly improved. What to do in the future ? Cannot lose weight forever and,on the other hand,cannot add more calories with carbs. Possibly more fat. What`s your...

Just try to recall what we ate before the diagnosis.Actually, we all spent a fortune on carbohydrate rubbish. When rounding shelves with food to be avoided, remember that was food we spent money on.

My doses are supposed to be adjusted plus minus two units, which I find very narrow margin, and as said cannot contact my doctor.Anyway, I find hypos more acceptable because I can treat them, unlike elevated Bg because I cannot do anything more to increase insulin response (already exhausted of...

Thank you so much. Does it mean things you mention cause hypos or the same issues can rise Bg ? Speaking of my hypo, you seem to have solved the mystery. Have doubled exercise lately , glass of wine after food (100 ml) and extremely hot weather. Within two weeks Bg has been between 3.5 and...

Type 2 on insulin.Being away cannot contact my endocrinologist. Usual dose of insulin last night and usual meal. Felt bad around midnight and Bg was 2.5. Had fruit juice and a piece of chocolate. Went to bed without checking Bg. First thing in the morning Bg was 5.5 (dawn phenomenon or...

Type 2 with Insulin.Heart attack in March and 4 stents.Lost 40 lb on low carb diet. Excellent BG control. Within last week very low BG (2.9 - 3.9 two hours after meal). Changed nothing in diet, but far more exercise. Walking 4 hours every day instead of 2. Being away cannot contact my...

No vitamin supplements are needed because daily requirements are very low and easily met with healthy balanced diet. High doses are a joke because excess vitamin C is immediately excreted. There are too many quasi scientific data online. Only evidence based medical researches are valid and they...

Vit C is leached into the water when you boil vegetables.Meaning, it`s still there but not in vegetables.Make thick vegetable soups.

Heart attack and newly diagnosed type 2. Within 4 months lost 40 lb on very low carb diet.Cholesterol and HDL improved significantly. But avoided fatty cheeses and fat in general (except for fatty fish). (Bad cholesterol comes from carbs and obesity, not from fat, I hope). Can I have cheeses...

Well controlled after losing 40 lb and exercise. Today BG 4.8 less than an hour after 3 plums.But I do not eat ripe fruits.
