[QUOTE="Catsymoo, post: 1769361, member: 45466"] It's the light version. It's 15g of carbs and isn't very fast acting for me because it has protein and fat in it. Its never done me any good for hypos. I have one every couple of weeks before work and i have never needed to bolus for it if I don't have time for food. When I got put on Lantus the nurse told me Lantus can sometimes cover up to 20g carbs snack or drink without going to high if your levels are OK before and/or activity afterwards. This has always reigned true for me up until a few weeks ago. Either way I don't think that's the issue at hand here, it's not like I'm drinking one every single day when I wake up. Then I would understand. I literally have one every couple of weeks and not always in the morning. It barely raises my blood sugar in the past. I've started taking Metformin again and sure enough, my reflux has come back mildly. I don't have much appetite at the moment at all. :( I'm thinking the pump may be the answer for me. Because of my stomach i prefer to eat little and often rather than big meals. Which is resulting in a stupid amount of injections a day. I do have big meals of course but i get full very easily.
