    Continuing diet or start insulin?

    Thanks for your clear answer and advices, Marie 2. Difficult for me to start easy, but better. I heard about different types of carbohydrates and use insulin before or after. Is this for the experienced user or also to use at the start.

    Thank you for this clear answer. Nice to hear from you that also higher doses insulin doesn’t mean that obsessively on low carb is the only solution. My last Hba1c was 50 in hospital in nov 2020. Recently 49 on Freestyle 2, but don’t think this is correct in relation to the high average of 8.1...
