    Type 2 mixed results

    I do not weigh them out except for my low sugar breakfast muesli, but am aware of what I am eating. What is the recommended carb level per day?

    Type 2 mixed results

    Thanks. My home diet is giving good readings and almost no low results, at the retreat it was vegan, low carb and low protein. I wasn't sleeping well and had a very bad cold.

    Type 2 mixed results

    I was recently away at a retreat centre for 15 days and was getting a lot of hypos because of low carbs. Now home, my usual fairly balanced menu I am getting high results. I am beginning to think I have a bad batch of Humulin or is it just the hot weather? I would appreciate your replies.

    my type

    I agree that you can be insulin dependent when diagnosed as type 2 as the body may cease to produce its own insulin after years of being type 2 on tablets.
