[QUOTE="QPR4Me, post: 1834499, member: 132584"] Hi Alice, This is interesting stuff. I'm a T2, diagnosed when I was 28 and never overweight. 30 years of mismanagement (related to old style Diabetes Clinic teaching, which hated Low-Carb and Keto diets, along with my own Depression, hatred of needles and losing the will to live) led me to blow up to 110 Kg. Now, I weigh 77 Kg and am on a quarter of my total Insulin intake compared to 13 months ago. Your husband is on lower doses than I ended up on, long before I went low-carb (ish). That said, I would worry about night-time (sleep) hypos occurring. My wife found these to be particularly distressing to deal with, while I was away with the fairies as, back then, I often wouldn't wake but she did when she realised the the quivering mess beside her had broken out in a cold sweat and was making very good impressions of the Turin Shroud! Your GP Practice needs to explain how this mess-up occurred as this could be seen as negligence. However, as, seemingly, no real harm has been done, it suggests, to my tiny little mind at least, that your husband has a chance of managing his Diabetes really well on an exercise and low-carb diet regime, with regular checking of his blood sugar levels. Good luck to both of you. [/QUOTE]
