I don't know if anyone remembers me but my blood sugars are still all over the place and I NEED to get a grip on this and sort myself out! I'm lucky to have no complications yet and therefore it's not too late to make an effort, eh? I was just wondering how you guys record your blood sugar? Do...

You basically get told what the principles of Slimming World are and get told about the healthy eating plan. You can then Adapt it to suit yourself, for example if you wanted to do low-carb, you could easily do it on SW.

Thank you, yes that's very helpful. :cool:

How does that work then? Surely if it lasts 42 hours, then some of it is going to overlap if taken daily?

Ooh thanks, will ask about that - Tresiba sounds great! Yes, I know how to test my basal insulin, will keep testing etc so I can see if there's a definite pattern.

No problem, have been a member of forums for years, can't avoid the odd bunfight... Oops, I mentioned buns! ;)

Why do some people have to bolus for protein?

Put 1lb on last night, but bearing in mind we've had 3 separate events this week involving meals out and wine, I'm fairly happy with that!

Thanks, I'm seeing my DSN on 3rd October, so will ask then x

I've had several lipomas removed, two under local anaesthetic and 5 under general. I have loads!

I currently take 13 units of Lantus at 9pm every night. I've noticed that my blood sugars creep up from about 4pm, is his due to my Lantus 'running out'? Is it common to take Lantus twice a day? If so, how do you work out how much to take and when? Many thanks :-)

Gosh, I've not checked in for a day or so and it's all kicked off! ;) Seriously though, thank you for every single reply - I think we can all agree we are very passionate about out diabetes and controlling it. I think it's all about finding what works for you and appreciating that it might not...

Ha ha ha!!

T Thanks! I'm not very adventurous but we tend to eat chilli, spag Bol, fish, chicken, paella etc...

Totally agree with all of this. I think lowering the amount of carbs I have will be a great starting point for me and if I feel the need to reduce them further, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. Thanks all!

I'm a bit confused, surely her leg was amputated due to complications of high blood sugar, not simply because she was eating 150g carbs? Yes, eating fewer carbs might have made her diabetes easier to control but it's not a given that she would face amputation otherwise?

No, what does that do?

Thank you! :cool:

Have already lost 5 stone with SW, am taking less than half the amount of Lantus I was!

Really? Does it help stop hunger pangs? I honestly don't know much about this...
