totally lost

some background--
i used to use novorapid and toujeo insulins
but was so hungry i gained alot of weight
so i requested a different insulin
and was given novolin premixed
i lost the horrible hunger
but it required me to eat when i wasnt hungry
so im back on the novorapid and toujeo

now that im back on them again
my hungers increased and it makes me
irritable
sometimes i give in to the hunger it causes
but im going to end up gaining weight again
in addition to that
i seem very insulin resistent
and the dose is just climbing again
i was using 160 units of toujeo and 120 units of novorapid
a day
i was started on 45 toujeo and 60 novorapid
im already up to 66 and idk even know how much
novo rapid as it varies with how many carbs i eat
but id venture a guess its maybe 90 units
and im not near any kind of goal yet
set by the dr nor was i before on the higher doses

i dont want to get stuck in this circle again
like i was last time
use insulin get hungry eat more gain weight need more insulin
get more hungry gain more weight use more insulin
i dont want stuck in it again

i had heard that low carb helped hunger
im unable to do that to try that
as i can only buy cheap carby foods
due to finances
im unable to get any exercise due to other health issues

i tried several oral meds. before insulin
and experienced many side effects one leading me to an er


what can i do?
is my only option to stop insulin to just have high blood sugar
and hope for no complications?

 

i can afford eggs
but cheese and canned tuna only when its on sale
and other meats arent an option (intolerances and costs)
so i felt that it would be very limiting
with just eggs and sometimes tuna and cheese
but i like all 3
can i live on this?
(cant afford veggies)

 

the premix was a regular insulin and intermediate insulin
already mixed
and each has a high peak so between the 2 of them each peaking
twice a day(2 injections) i had to eat 4x to avoid hypos
i didnt know how much to eat i didnt get any guidance
i really only like eating 2x a day

 

im in canada
we have food banks to use every other month

 

my sensors and insulin and test strips are all covered
under the provincial drug plan
its a good plan
you can only have the sensors or strips one at a time
you cant get them covered to use together
just a few to test if the sensor says to test with something else
cause its saying you have a weird number or whatever

 

well up goes the weight

i guess since i seem to need the insulin
or go around in the 12s
i have to also starve
i really hate this

 

an example
i have coffee just 1
the last thing i have not given up for diabetes
and it puts me in the 12s fast
if ive been lower
and i put a bit of 10 percent cream and 3 stevia pks
or sucrulose pks in it
so i decided to try 10 units of novorapid
nothing happens
i dont want to give up the last thing i
havnt given up
but may have to
sometimes i think geesh i may as well have a nice
regular hot chocolate with that 10 units
likely wouldnt work though
lol

 

im going to look and see
one day i did find ground sausage
30 percent off

 

really nice site

 

can newcastle be done without the shakes
