[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 424336, member: 12578"] Mastermouse I agree on the need to learn how to use insulin effectively. Unfortunately the DAFNE course is not available for people with T2. There is an X-pert insulin course in some areas. As you also use an oral medication in addition and the larger basal insulin dose suggests insulin resistance you do have some different problems to someone with T1. There are books such as Think Like a Pancreas by Garry Scheiner. Diabetes UK also has a free Ebook introducing carb counting and a list of carb counts to accompany it. (it is probably more aimed at T1 but for meals the same principles apply) [url=https://shop.diabetes.org.uk/store/literature/information-books/carbs-count-e-book.aspx]https://shop.diabetes.org.uk/store/lite ... -book.aspx[/url] There is also an online course with the same caveat (aimed primarily at T1) [url=http://www.bdec-e-learning.com/]http://www.bdec-e-learning.com/[/url] Weightwatchers newer points system takes into account fibre so attempts to favour higher fibre hence (probably) lower glycemic index carbohydrates . My daughter (not diabetic) has attended weight watchers and lost and kept off a lot of weight. I've never seen her eat a weightwatchers product, it's not compulsory. I know she had bought recipe books and calculators so I think that's probably what they push at meetings in the UK though of course their ready foods are available in supermarkets. When I visit her, I am quite able to adjust my insulin to eat meals made using weight watchers recipes, indeed I've taken some of the recipes to use at home. A lot of people knock the system but for some people it works well. I've been sorting out my mother's belongings and found her lifetime membership letter and badge. It dated back to the early 1980s. She got to her goal weight and managed to maintain it for 30+ years. [/QUOTE]
