I'm still struggling to get the right balance with my evening meal. I count my carbs and weigh all of my food and still my levels goes down at first than they start to climb really high again. I tried taking my insulin after eating than splitting my dose and taking the second dose one hour after. I've even tried taking my second dose two hours after eating but nothing seems to work for me. In the beginnings I would take the full amount of insulin but this would quickly bring me into a hypo stage, so not good. I eat healthy foods with plenty of fruit and veg, no red meat and occasionally sausages and bacon but my downfall is potatoes. Oven chips and boiled potatoes but I've cut down the amount instead of cutting them out altogether.
Can anyone give me any suggestions or advice as I'm losing the will to live (only joking) but I'm getting desperate so come on peeps put on your thinking caps please and let me put this problem to bed.
