[QUOTE="NannyPoppins, post: 929970, member: 203599"] I think I will try it but I know I'll struggle. I live on snacks and was always told to eat ever 2 hours to maintain good levels. So life style become snacking instead of eating good meals. My appetite is so up and down that sometimes I can not eat anything for the hole day or other times I'll non stop eat till I feel sick. I am bad with my food When I got put on metformin by my GP, I was also told to only eat 20g of carbs per day. But no one explained what metformin did so... you can imagine what happen... hypo's (bad ones) all day, every day. I went from taking 110-120 units per day to pretty much 30-40 units per day plus 1000mg metformin. In my head I could understand the drastic change and my blood levels went crazy. I just couldnt control it and felt so confused... I soon started eating carbs again and now I'm noticing the weight creeping up plus my insulin is 60units per day and 3000mg metformin. I have not done this DAFNE course that people talk about but I've been diabetic for 17years so I kind of know what foods do what to my bloods. Its all guess work though and I still get it wrong sometimes. I feel like I've been under a rock (prob my own fault) [/QUOTE]
