[QUOTE="jopar, post: 457171, member: 11712"] The poster is T2 diabetic so insulin is a supportive role to insulin being produced, so ratio's etc will be slightly different than with a T1... SJ You're in a catch 22 situation sadly.. Due to your insulin resistance and you're also using insulin does make things harder, not impossible. Personally I would see your doctor and diabetic team, get them to rule out an under-active thyroid etc... Also ask them about help with learning to adjust your insulin to your carb intake. As it's sounds very much like, even though at the moment you need the support of injected insulin, you are having slightly too much of it which is giving you hypo's if you have a 2 or 3 a day, then you're adding on around 30-45g's or more (depending how you're treating them) on a day. Brett is correct, first port of call is sorting out your background insulin, this the kingpin of all control, as calculations all come of this one thing, if this is wrong then all calculations made will be wrong as well.. Once you've got your insulin sorted then you can look at how to reduce your carb count, and adapt your eating habits in a safely. [/QUOTE]
