Message: <blockquote data-quote="Member529656" data-source="post: 2302715">Personally I was diagnosed type two in 2003. By 2006 I was using insulin.(novomox 30).About 3 months ago ,finding last years shorts were too tight, I decided to lose weight.I found this quite easy,less food and more exercise; 2 x 3 1/4 mile dog walks light weights and so on. I aimed at 1200 calorie intake a day. Then the hypos started, I reduced the insulin from some 15/18 units per meal to 6 or 9.i was also taking metformin 850 mg  three times, at mealsTwo weeks ago I contacted the DN at my local surgery.. the insulin is now reduced to breakfast and tea time   x 6 units and the metformin reduced to 500mg dosage. My blood sugar readings have been interesting.....5 to 7 amol in June 5 to 7.3 over the last two weeks before breakfast .I have given up bread , rice and pasta. But other wise eat lots on the Bernstein  'forbidden list' (which I discovered yesterday)I have lost 12 kilo since mid June, it would seem that carb reduction and weight loss are the way to go, for me at least.</blockquote>
