I'm going to reduce carbs and increase protein/fat for evening meals.

Have been looking at this for awhile and have asked a few people on this site how they calculate their insulin dose for protein/fat intake and think I have enough info to get started.

Testing so far it certainly has lowered pre-bed BGLs which means better results during the night. As I'm a good sleeper (8 hours) getting the right overnight BGLs has a big impact on HbA1C results.

I'm going to try a low carb eating regime to hopefully gain better control of my BG levels and lower my HbA1c...
I may even get adventurous and change my needle and lancet at every check/injection

Usually change my lancets on a monthly basis or when they hurt more indicating they are blunt.....not sure what I'd do with needles though
 
I will be joining you in this Tipetoo - too many extra bits the last month or so and over Christmas and tomorrow is back to work and back to the LCHF diet. I need to be more organised with my food and also my testing. Here's to a great 2017

Oh that would send me to the poor house. I am paying around $20 per 100. I just change them when they are feeling blunt, usually around once a week.

I haven't changed my lancet for over a year but I only test every 3 days. (T2 1500 mg of Met.)can predict my BG. According to what I eat .
