thanks for the responses, I have read and re read and I'm finding it confusing.
I was following the atkins and I understand now from these explanations why it has not worked....so as I can keep my bloods down the atkins is not going to work for me at the moment and frankly its not a balanced diet and so who knows how long its not going to work for me???? and I m not going to stay on a non balanced unhealthy diet for ages...since my dr's have only ever worked on the basis that you count carbs to know your boluses...who decides when you come off the big groups of carbs and what carbs are in proteins fats etc and what you bolus because I've never heard of this.....until I was on here. my dr's were always quite strict that I bolus for carbs and nothing else end of....as I 've already mentioned to the point of if theres no carbs then you don't take the bolus???
ok so we've got passed that one....so if I still have to count carbs but the ones hidden in these fats and proteins that s hard to work out....why not go back to having some carbs but not the biggies....still no bread, pasta, rice, potatoes etc.......but have yoghurt, fruit, carrots, sweetcorn, pulses, have something to count the carb on and hopefully that carb bolus will cover the meal??
and BTW, I have not stopped the novo rapid at any point, I have taken correctional doses mostly but boluses for what I could only guestinmate I needed based on the meal time, how I felt, what happened the day before, and decide if I can take that bolus before the meal when my sugar is not too low....etc etc
so many thing s to take into account and so difficult
so I have gone on to myfitnesspal...and started to fil that in to see what shows up, it tells me whats in my food, and I will bolus for the protein if theres no carb and bolus for the carb when its present??
actually I'd like to retire from all this ****, i';ve had enough, I'm tired, and there doesn't appear to be a dr who 'gets' any of this? how can they help me if they don't understand it??
