Hi all
I've just been going through poppy's posting "Can I ask".
Fergus what doses of insulin are you on, do you have insulin before your 0 carb breakfast or 10 carb lunch and tea, what back ground insulin do you use. I've been on Humalog for 18 years now, I personally find it very agressive and wouldn't dream of having a zero carb meal after taking it. I don't have a weight problem, beenn between 10stone 8 and 11 stone since I left school 30+ years ago. Diagnosed type 1 diabetic when I was 28. I was taught to carb count, but for the purpose of working out the quantity of insulin I'd need for the meal I was about to eat.
It would appear I'm getting things wrong, probably a contributing factor to my norm hba1c of around 9.
Time I think for some serious re-education, from you guys that live with this like me, all advice greatfully accepted.
Incidentally, I also have 28 units of lantus at night
