- rude people, state the country is now in, and how diabetes is monitored..
I have been following the low carb,low cal diet for one month and gained 2 pounds.Prior to that I just ate a healthy diet and had lost 2 pounds, but had gained 2 inches.I havent dared measure myself this time.
I have been advised to return to normal healthy diet by diabetic nurse.I was finding with low carb I had some diarrhea ,but also that I had headaches and didn't feel too well, also I had a few low blood sugars and slight dizziness.The diarrhea has got worse following the norvo virus.Things are much better that way although I am going slightly more frequently .
As my blood sugars were lower I am hesitant to go back on the healthy eating diet.. they have switched my metaformin to slower acting one.I am taking 14 units of nororapid,3 times a day and 55 lantus each day.When I had diarrhea last week I stopped all metaformin and nororapid and just had lantus.Now my numbers are creeping up to the tens before meals I am back using nororapid and haven't tried the slow acting metaformin yet. Any advice please?I just feel I am being passed around and no better knowledge what to eat or do.since taking insulin 3 years ago my weight and inches have increased.
