[QUOTE="kellywelly, post: 1876252, member: 163222"] Hi I am carb counting and reaching the lower target my dietician asked me to reach. That was the reason my levels have been so good recently. Before this my hba1c had got up to 97. I can reduce it down further and that would be my long-term plan but for the moment I would just like a few months of stability. The ride down from 97 has not been fun at all. I do have some weight to lose. I also put on 1 & 1/2 st with the switch to insulin but as soon as I found the right level it stabilised and I have not gained anything since. I'm not feeling hungry between meals and I don't think I'm eating to match insulin levels. I'm usually under my target. I'm curious about choosing humalog levels according to carbs per meal. I asked both my consultant and dietician whether I could do this and both said as a type two i shouldn't be doing this? The exception if I was having a meal with less than 10g not taking the humalog at all. Are other type two's changing per meal? Also if insulin needs change due to resistance does it happen over the course of a day? That sounds worrying. One day perfect control the next almost doubled? Thanks [/QUOTE]
