[QUOTE="AliceChatsworth, post: 1447697, member: 392771"] Hi. My husband started this yesterday. After discussion with the diabetes nurse he started on 10mg in the morning instead of morning insulin, with the intention of keeping the evening insulin and monitoring bg levels. He is also on fairly low carb - around 50g. His BG dropped almost immediately from 12.5 ish to 10.2 ish in the same day. He wasn't able to have the night time insulin because of a dispensing problem but his sugars were about 9.2 which is lower than the insulin was doing anyway. Fasting BG today ,10.4 so we're hoping that will drop as his day passes. Really very hopeful for this. He was put on insulin whilst in hospital two/three weeks ago and since then gained all the weight/size he'd lost before hospital with low carb. He can't have insulin this evening again (small problem) and if numbers keep going down, we won't bother subsequently. Speaking to the nurse again at the end of the week and hoping that she will be pleasantly surprised. He's very thirsty but he is normally anyway. Maybe once his blood sugars are more normal and with him on low carb also this will be less of a problem? [/QUOTE]
