[QUOTE="Kyambala, post: 2481432, member: 210735"] Good afternoon ICarter, I have been Type 2 now for about 30 years, although it took me 2 years to convince my then Doctor that I was Diabetic. I have been on Insulin Humilin M3 for about 10 years with 4 Metformin SR daily with Levothyroxine 75 micrograms. Before starting on Insulin and Metformin SR I was on Glyclazide for 20 years and my Blood Sugars were all over the place- sometimes as high as 24 and I also had frequent Hypos. It took me some time to regulate my BS on Insulin even on 100 units per day. Now I find that my ideal routine is: !0 am Fasting BS about 5.6 Insulin 34 Units am 24 Units pm - 2 Metformin am 2 Metformin pm. If my FBS is below 5 I reduce my Insulin to 30 Units and if it is near or above 7 I increase my Insulin to 38 units' Breakfast: 1 medium Orange, i bowl Jordans Muesli in Skimmed Milk; 2 cups Green Tea with slice of Lemon. Lunch: 2 pm: 1 Panini with cheese and Tomato. Dinner: 6.30 pm: Salad with Cheese or Chicken and plenty of greens, egg, Tomato and Peppers - or: Cooked Dinner with plenty of greens, 2 small Potatoes. Sweet: 2 scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream with Prunes or Fruit. Bedtime: 11 pm: 1 cup of Cocoa with small Rock Bun. During the day: 3 cups Marmite ( I don't drink tea or coffee at all) Exercise: 1 mile walk (half mile there and half mile back). This routine keeps my FBS around 5-6 and my HbAic around 46 - 50 mmol/mol I hope this information is of some use to you. Have a nice day. [/QUOTE]
