The reason you are losing weight @Fba and getting good levels in the day is the way this drug works .It was explained to me by my diabetic consultant that you are passing more glucose out in your urine (that's the beneficial effect of these meds) Hence you lose weight despite eating the same as...

Thanks for this advice.I started on this yesterday and was really only warned about not letting myself get dehydrated and the high thrush risk .No warning of potentential DKA .Maybe she thought this wouldn't be relevant to me as my BG's are up in the high twenties but I'm hoping and thought the...

This mornings was 14.6 ....good news as it's lowering finally :-)

It seems it affects us all differently .i was running to the loo up to 15 times a day on 1000mg slow release .I've persevered three separate times now but finally my GP has agreed it's not for me .There are many meds out there Lornylou .Maybe time to give another one a try ?

We need a few who have stable BG's to trial this ? I can't as I'm using new meds so can't tell if it is meds or resistant starch .It would be the answer for may of us if it works .Stews ...reheated ,so many other choices .

Well i'm starting Monday Ally so we can do this together .I'm the same as you 40 a day for the last 40 years .Got to be done for financial reasons and health reasons .

Great news Ally .Is great see the huge progress you've made :-)

22.5 but i have just started on a new Insulin Humalin 1 so gradually bringing it down .

Someones probably already posted this but i couldn't find it so I'll post it . http://thebigapplemama.com/2016/01/no-carb-cloud-bread.html

I would iif I could find an options tab @vic hill I've gone to my content on m profile page but no delete buttons or crosses there .

Thats seems unusually high for that reading .Most people start of on 500 mg and work their way up .I'd certainly give the doctor or even better the Pharmacist a call before i started on that dose .

Hi all :) tomorrow I have to choose a new Insulin regime after being on Novamix 30 for a while .Can anyone recommend a Bolus /Basal regime that works for them ? Thanks Sorry found the answer in the medication section but don't know how to delete the thread !

I tried them @Prem51 .Bought in bulk but couldn't stand them .Some people love them so let's hope they do for you :) I believe it works with any starchy carbs @LinsT according to the programme !

Thank you LucySW and tims2000 Much clearer :-)

I'm a real fan of Dr Jason Fung so was fasting 24 hours twice a week and I felt amazing .

I'm pretty up on my diet .I grow veg and eat clean and watch my carbs .That's the frustrating part .I'm in jeans I haven't worn for four years and my appetite is zilch .I lost 9kg over Christmas and had been feeling much better up until early December and had a stable bg of around 11/12 mmol...

That sounds a great way of taking it .Will have to ask my GP .Was on Novomix 30 and Victoza but the nausea was just too much with the Victoza .I asked my doc was this how it made you lose weight ,vomiting and he laughed and nodded :-)

Mine was high from the start Kristin but obviously I tried the meds first but Metformin wasn't for me .One of my problems is I have other health problems which all require medications that seem to be listed as having an effect on Insulin .Thiazides ect .My lowest readings were when I read Dr...

:D I thought they were but with the difference in the USA measuring system for Diabetics I wasn't sure . Yes it's absolutely rubbish .I've just had my "annual review " and asked for it to be changed but somehow managed to leave without an alternative ,hmmm .My Hba1c was rubbish again at 106 .

I'm using Novamix 30 Flexi pen Kristen it's a mixture of both Basal and Bolus .It isn't clear what the exact measurement is as it is pre filled and I turn my dial to 50 units of insulin and press but my diabetic consultant wants to add another injection .I started on 20 but they have just kept...
