hi thanks for that. I saw my gp who said the same as you, re must take some quick acting insulin. She also said the ratio should be two thirds 24hr acting and one third short ie 20units glaugine an 10 novo rapid. She really stressed I must eat some carbs tho as the brain needs glucose.

Does this sound right? Instead of the normal mealtime injections of novorapid I just relied on my 24hr acting glaurgine injection and achieved pretty perfect results thro the day bar a couple of times going down to 3.8. Is this regime ok - just relying on the glaugine? I 'm hoping to speak to...

Thanks again for all this info - chick peas would be good so I'll check them out. Also I normally have quite alot of milk so am going to try soya drink - it looks very low in carbs on the carton so am hoping it wont taste too vile.

Is there a book with all the info on low carb diets that isn't wierdly american. I've read Dr Bernstein but got bogged down in the stripples and stevia references. Any starting point, menu plans would be good. Where did all you guys get all your info from?
