[QUOTE="loopy-loo, post: 6129, member: 6118"] Hi there! Another freaky eater here. When I was first diagnosed I cut carbs drastically, but still had trouble keeping within good bg's levels, then i was started on insulin and told I needed to eat carb based meals. Well 7yrs later, taking more and more insulin, eating more and more pasta, getting bigger and bigger, and not great control either. Thought back to how it was in the beginning and after reading loads of posts on here, took the plunge and followed the Bernstein way. I have only been doing it for 7 days but I can honestly say I have never had such good bs levels. They tend to hold to hold steady around the 5.5 mark which is fantastatic for me. (they would regularly swing form 14 to 3) Have woken up with a reading in the 4s most mornings, cannot express how good that feels! Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for passing on your knowledge, I have learnt so much since reading this forum. :o ps,- I noticed that you (fergusc) are about to change to humulin, I am on this at the moment and am just about to be switched from insulatard to detimar, and from humulin S to novorapid. Am worried that this is the wrong thing to do, how have you found it being on the fast acting and low carb? They say to inject 20mins before eating, however I have found this to very impractical.
