[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 1688054, member: 101136"] Hi [USER=468267]@Sami007379[/USER] , A belated welcome to the forum from me! OK? You have been started on what sounds like a long acting "basal" insulin.. Could you give us the trade name name of the insulin please..? With the greatest respect to the LCers contributing to this thread. (I keep my carb count low myself.) With the possible introduction to a bolus shot for meals? You will be changing the landscape once again regarding BS control, which could send you in any direction.. Sounds to be like you have managed to lower your BS a little cutting some carbs. That's good news! However the insulin you currently take is a long acting base liner & not realy intended for dealing with what you eat. Have you looked at basal testing? With the help of your health care professionals of course! I just have a feeling you may encounter swinging BS once you are prescribed meal shots like Actrapid? which you will need if your diagnosis is confirmed as T1. Or even T2 on MDI? Then BS control might feel even more like nailing jelly to a wall without learning to carb count & knowing your insulin to carb ratio... This is where an insulin dependant usually starts setting it up.. Here is a link to basal testing. [URL]https://mysugr.com/basal-rate-testing/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
