Hello, thanks for your replies - sorry for the delay in replying, I was expecting an email alert if someone responded and didn't get one. Just realised I've got to tick a box to receive an alert :roll: I agree that injecting just twice a day is better - for me anyway. I think I'm unusual in having a 50/50 mix (fast and long acting) but it seems to suit me now.
I had a bit of a wobbly time recently having been diagnosed with COPD as well - I get breathless walking up hills, stairs and doing anything requiring much exertion. I started to have a lot of hypos, going really low and now I realise that it's because I'm using up far more energy trying to breathe, so needed less insulin. It's better now that I realise what was going on - scary at the time. I'm not a natural snacker, tend to have three meals a day and that's it (it's the way I was brought up!). I must be the most boring eater in the world !- it's the only way I can keep my glucose levels steady. Have been on insulin now for 17 years, gets me down sometimes. Don't you just wish you could have just one day - one day - when you can forget you have diabetes and eat what you like when you like. Ah well .... I can dream ... :think:
