[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2215041, member: 21149"] Hi. Worth mentioning that your weight may be a factor here. If you have excess weight then you may be insulin resistant and then Glic may help but is not the real solution as the insulin increase from the Glic may encourage you to eat more carbs as your BS will be lower. You may gain weight with those increased carbs - not good. So do reduce the carbs if you have excess weight to break the resistance cycle BUT be careful when reducing the carbs as the Glic dosage may also need to be reduced to avoid a hypo. If you are slim then just keep a eye on the BS to check that it doesn't rise a lot which would imply being T1 and not T2. [/QUOTE]
