Hello,
My mum has been diagnosed about 12 years ago but has not managed her bg very well. She would eat carbs etc and just put her diabetes out of mind her levels were in high teens. She has now been prescribed insulin and I think this has given her the kick in the butt to do something about her health.
She doesn't speak English so Im asking for her.
She's really skinny - should she go on low carb diet anyway to control her bg? She is on long acting insulin once a day so far does that matter with carbs?
Is it possible for her to get better and come off it or is insulin permanent?
She's been told to test 2 times a day but no other direction as to when is there any best times?
Anything else she should know?
Sorry for the long post and I appreciate any answers.
