I'm 28 year old male. I inject twice a day (nova mix 30), 26 units in the morning and 24 before bed.
I want to lose some weight, just a little bit, maybe 5kg. However I can't seem to lose any weight. My nurse is useless.
What should I do? Do I need to work out the carb to insulin ratio?
My thoughts are:
1. Work out the ratio
2. reduce the carbs to lose weight
3. Reapply the ratio to my diet.
So if I reduce my carbs and eat less, I just adjust my insulin?
What process or approach have you used?
Any help is appreciated.
