I'm soo sick n tired of diabetes I've been testing my bloods they are always above 20 I've been eating very low carb diet for last few days and it's not made any difference to my sugar levels. I'm not gonna take my insulin as I don't want to put on weight. I know some people don't put on weight but when I took it although I didn't alter what I had to eat I still put on a few stone if it was a few pounds then id take it but I put stones on in a few months no clothes fit me and I got very depressed think id rather live with high sugars and going to toilet every five mins then been fat and depressed all the time
Not taking the insulin will only make matters worse. Ask about the basal/bolus regime that Phoenix mentions earlier, given in the right dose it will bring down your bg and then you can look closely at your diet, staying around 20mmol/l and above is only going to do some long-term damage I'm afraid.
