Hi,
Firstly , thank you for the informative, friendly answers on my previous posts. Really appreciate it .
I struggle with my mental health anyway , let alone this extremely confusing diabetes .
last night for example I ate W jacket potatoe with cheese and beans . And rocket . ( i injected 15 units as I wanted to
Eat some snacks afterwards. ( I had 2 snicker bars , few Harribo , caramel
Wafer bar. Strawberry moose. ( I’ve heard that the peak time insulin works is around 2 hours . It seems to be after that 2 hours
It goes up , so I have to put in another random amount (8) 2 hours later I put in another 4. My blood was about 4.7 so knew I was heading for a hypo. I had 2 jam oatcakes and one plain . With few sweets before . Went to 12 after / put another 2 insulin in
it seems to be putting insulin after eating fatty sweet foods especially just suppresses the blood sugar rather than eliminates the spike?? Do I have to keep stacking every couple of hours for say 6+ hours ?! Help !
and people saying they wouldn’t eat this, wouldn’t eat that . Feels so so depressing. My mum cooks . Not me . I am
Extremely lazy .
This was yesterday/ last night .
thank you
