[QUOTE="A new man, post: 659870, member: 134738"] I have just started on humulin twice a day and dropped gliclazide and sitagliptin - I must say I have been pleasantly surprised by how easy and convenient it is - was never worried about the injecting but even that surprised me as I really don't feel a thing! Only issue was a night time borderline hypo the other day but started low carb yesterday and sugars much more consistent than they were before! All in all my diabetes is better than ever - just hope my diabetic nurse is understanding that I went against diet advice and in doing so had to cut back on insulin already ( she suggested I start on 2x 10 units morning and evening and up it by 2 units for each injection every 3 days til I see her next week but I have gone back to 10 in the morning and only 8 at before dinner (and dropped my evening metformin) as I don't need any more on the low carb diet my readings are around 5.5 average! Before insulin I was eating normal diet and getting in the teens a lot! I am one happy diabetic! [/QUOTE]
