Thank you for the sympathy. Definitely calling tomorrow. For the time being, I decided to eat and just take extra insulin. I'm at home, surrounded by family, so I want to try and aim for something low rather than high. At 4:30 pm ET, my glucose level was 7.7 mmol/l, so I went on my elliptical...

I've never really noticed this in my five years of having diabetes, but who knows what's going on at this point. This is the first time I've experienced an incredibly high jump in blood sugar early on in the day, following a meal that barely contained any carbs. I'm not really sure how to...

I'm completely at a loss, so I'm going to go ahead and talk to my GP and endo. Woke up with 8.7 mmol/l this morning and had turkey, lettuce and cheese on keto bread. Had an additional half slice with peanut butter on it – probably about 33g of protein in total. I also had a few nuts, maybe about...

@Hertfordshiremum Perhaps I'll try switching up the foods I'm eating then. My initial intention was to have one of my meals be the same, every day for one week, in order to attempt to figure out what my insulin-to-carb ratio is as well as how many millimoles per liter each unit of insulin seems...

@Hertfordshiremum I've ended up checking every half hour just to be safe, with a bottle of OJ and a measuring glass to be extra safe and precise. Lol. Looks like my corrections seem to be working in my favour this time, as I seem to have remained in the low 7's for my last couple checks over...

Thanks for the responses, everyone. @EllieM I've just been used to keto-like diets as I've been on one for the last five years. If it turns out that I don't end up having much insulin resistance, I'll definitely try to work some healthy carbs into my meals, such as Oat Bran. I'll have to see...

Thank you for the response. Both my GP and endo are aware that I had readopted a low calorie keto diet for the time being. I was assuming she made the 4 units, 3 units and 5 units for breakfast, lunch and dinner respectively with my extremely low carb intake in mind. I've been consuming less...

Hey folks. Roughly four years ago, I was suspected to have developed type 2 diabetes when I was around 23 years old. Specialists outside of my GP concurred with this sentiment. My HbA1c was sitting around 8-9%. I was overweight at the time and had been all but completely immobile for almost an...

Hey folks, new member here. I've been classified as a Type 2 diabetic for about three years now. 5.1 mmol/l this morning. My morning range seems to fall between 4.0 mmol/l and 7.3 mmol/l depending on what I eat and when I eat before I head to bed.
