Cool guys, cheers put me at ease a bit now :). Yeah I went to the doctors and he said am i getting chest pains etc out of breath - he said if I do and it gets bad call an ambulance basically. And then booked me for the ECG / blood tests.

I always increase my novorapid if I need to eat carbs etc, kinda worked out my own scale for it :). Works well for me tbh.

Hi guys, Figured i'd just post this up here for some advice really. Basically I went to the leeds festival 2 weeks ago, had a very heavy weekend, drinking lots, little sleep etc. Came back and noticed the first day back that i was getting a strange feeling in my chest. Basically to cut a long...

Well guys, I followed the advice of someone on the forums to split my levirmir dosage (36 units per day) into two injections of 18 units for even better control. Doing this gave me much higher readings especially in the morning. Over the past few week I had to increase my levirmir both...

Oh good god guys, this is the exact problem i've been having. I'm absolutely bloody flabbergasted that protein requires insulin,this is a shock to me as I've been increasing my protein in place of carbs, I am somewhat shocked and upset by this, god **** this god awfull disease. That will...

Do you happen to have a link to the thread in question please? Searching for that term I found lots of other threads which talk about insulin working better on a lower carb diet. But little about it worsening? Unless i'm not searching hard enough. Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, I have noticed something very bizarre. I have been on a "lower" carb diet for the past 8 weeks which is going pretty well, I'd say on average I consume around 80-100g of carbs per day (down from 300). For the past 2 weeks my blood sugars have been creeping up for no apparent reason. I...

Nice one mate, yeah I'm on day three of a similar diet atm, how do you find your energy levels after excercise? do you take extra carbs after exercise?

Nice results mate, can I just ask what kind of things you eat on an average day and what kind of exercise you do? Thanks in advance.

That is diabolical advice, to think I sometimes test my blood sugars in excess of 15 times a day. My doctors prescribe me 350 a month i generally use them within this time as well. Could cut it down but I like to see exactly how certain foods react to my levels.

eating around 90g of carbs a day split between "Low GI foods - fruit, veg, low gi cereal (ALL-Bran). Would this qualify to be low enough GI to fill the rest of my diet with nuts, and mainly meat eggs etc? I mean I hear with the low carb diet you have to have low carbs otherwise you will just...

didn't realise this tbh, figured normaly never go above 6-7. Everytime i've testeds a family member, before, after eating they always seem to be around 5.5, maybe after a night out drinking i've noticed some slip to 4.0.

Maybe I should have said "lower carb" still going from 230g to around 90 is a lot lower than previous(practicallyt a third). I'm planning on taking a lower step in carbs, but unsure, going to see how things go with this new lower level in respect to my energy levels, health fitness etc, going to...

Hi Timo, I have tried this for the past 3 days, I have on average been waking up with pretty high levels (around 8-9 mmol). I have also increased the dose to arose 40 (20 split both ways). Having awoke at 7am with a level of 9.2 I decided to put my slow upto 25mmol for morning dose. Just...

it is nice, and the bottle is amazing, it tastes much more flavoursome, unsure whether I'd buy it again as it is a lot of money, kind of a whim I went on when on holiday :).

The silver spoon I like to use is this one guys - cheers http://www.silverspoon.co.uk/home/produ ... ie-tablets

I'm going to join in on this discussion. Basically guys, I only found this forum last week, since them I have been addicted, reading constant information that people have shared. It has been a real eye opener for me. I had based my diet essentially around 200-250g of carbs a day, including...

Pink lady's also my favourite, they almost taste fizzy :) I love em.

Lord god, I use splenda day in day out, i've just followed that link and I can't believe what i've just read. I have rashes on my hands and arms, have heart palpatations occasionally (although I put that down to excercise). Shocking read, got me thinking now :(. I prefer the more "normal"...

Nice sounds good mate,30-50g a day sounds really low. compared to what i'm used to. Can anybody link me to a full daily diet that they use that consists of an ample amount of calories, a lot of the ones i've been reading on the low carb forum seem to be exceedingly low calorie as well.
