You know what, I really fancied a runny boiled egg this morning ! But we didn't have any eggs in... I've stuck to the berries and almonds the past few days.... which i like and will find easier when i'm back at work and working horrible shifts and don't know when ill have time to eat.. can...

daily update :D are you getting bored with me yet hehe Smidge i've only just seen your post and i've already eaten dinner so I will try this 1 unit to 10 carb ratio tomorrow (well I have to see my nurse tomorrow, so will see what she suggests then). But I was experimental this morning.. kind...

oh I see, so maybe tomorrow I should go back to 4u of Humalog before meals, but up my Lantus to 12 like the nurse suggested? My wrap at lunch time was a low carb one, 3g-6g of carbs I think. well... I find it difficult to get my head round these numbers - but then again numbers have never been...

Hmm i'm going on holiday abroad next week (all this happened at a good time huh) think I may need a few hundred boxes of test strips. I upped the humalog before lunch today as advised and after a salad and corned beef wrap my blood sugar was went down to 6 mmol! not been that low in ages... but...

Hey, I will post my meals and blood levels tomorrow to give a full days readings... i've been eating roughly the same meals everyday. If I don't feel like eating breakfast for example, do I still need to take my humalog? today the nurse has upped each of my insulins by 2, so now im on 12...

Hi my nurse advised me to only inject my Humalog insulin into my stomach, and my Lantus into my thigh - I asked if I could take the Humalog in my upper arm (dont wanna get my tummy out if i have to do it in public!) she told me I couldn't and I didn't ask why. Why? :?: It would make life so...

Hi phoenix. Thanks for your information. Joining this forum has been a god send! I been feeling better today . Lower numbers, not low enough but going the right way. I don't think I am on too much insulin at the moment am I? 10 units of lanuts a day and 4 units of humalog at meal times three...

fish for breakfast? noo lol I think nuts and berries may be the way for me, we will see... and i'm really rubbish and naive with medical things... is insulin a statin? :oops:

I love grapefruit but cut it out years ago because everywhere I looked said it had between 10g an 15g per half. But then I guess thats not bad, but I may be hungry by like 9am hehe.. may give it a go though as I did used to love my grapfruit! I will have a look at Lizzies Granola. And...

I'm sick of the sight of an egg now! And since being a little ill i've gone off the thought of meat. Which makes breakfast quite difficult. I'm not a serious low carber - but for breakfast, I like to keep them to a minimum. This morning I had a few black or blue berries and a sugar free jelly -...

I woke up this morning, and planned to up my Lantus like was mentioned, but when I took my blood sugar, it was 14.4 - so much lower than the past 2 days. I was so happy to see a lower number (still not low enough, but much better). But so now i'm wondering, if i'm taking the same amount of...
