[QUOTE="Silkroad77, post: 2323090, member: 488679"] I'm also having major issues with Toujeo. Insane blood sugar levels-all over the place despite eating the SAME AMOUNT of different food types. I've had 2 slices of toast for over 15 years for breakfast, and yet each morning I can be anything between LO-12. For a year I've had the same portion of rice/pasta/cous-cous etc. I don't carb count meticulously but use a 'measuring' plate or bowl, or just use a tablespoon for rice portions to ensure it's the same amount every time-still anything from 3-17 two to three hours later. I'll have days when I'm consistently high-for either the entire day, or most of the day (despite taking 2 units of correction dosage of Novorapid), for me 2 units works the best (when it does work) 1 unit isn't enough, 3 units always leads to hypos. Oh and I've also changed my Toujeo from an initial 30 units per day, down to 25 units-none of it works, I still get the same highs and lows, and yes I've also tried adjusting my Novorapid and it doesn't work either! Also I've given the Toujeo units adjustment at least 3-4 weeks each time, just to be sure and it doesn't work! I've put on 3 stones (42 pounds, 19 kilos) quickly since starting the Toujeo & Novorapid & have cut down snacking between meals to 0 and have also cut down portion sizes. I'm sure some medical expert who knows nothing about being Diabetic will still hark on about 'carb counting, carb to insulin ratio, portion sizes, snacking, exercise' like a broken record! Yes I do exercise-more than when I was on Novomix 30 thanks! It's just annoying and regardless of what some medical expert thinks I'd say that something in this basal & bolus regime clearly isn't working! [/QUOTE]
