[QUOTE="JoolsSugar, post: 2646032, member: 543006"] This is interesting and I don't know how we as non-medical people are supposed to understand the ramifications of eating/injecting when even medical professionals give conflicting information. I lost 2.5 stone a couple of years ago, then started injecting, tah dah the weight came back, so I want to lose the weight again but don't know how to balance the reduced intake of sugar/calories with the possible reduction in insulin requirement and the probability of hypos. It seems that diabetic specialists are not as fully informed or trained as they should be. My GP practice appears to have just put a 'bumb on a seat' and called them the Diabetic specialist. I have been taking Gabapentin tablets since just after starting injecting a couple of years ago as I had a horrible allergic reaction to the insulin (well documented in medical journals and articles), but now they've taken away my Gabapentin prescription without reviewing the insulin I'm using. I have a backlog of tablets, thankfully, but what happens when they run out?!?! Do I start to burn again, literally my skin feels like it's on fire as I'm allergic to the zinc used to stabilise the insulin. Lots to unwrap there, no replies expected, just having a bit of a 'rant', so thanks for reading [/QUOTE]
