I go once every 3-4 months. How about you?
Healthiest to inject as little as possible??? How comes???Well I eat low carb and personally I think that's the best way to do it. The reason I say this is because although you can eat higher carb and cover it with more insulin, I think it's healthiest to inject as little insulin as possible. I really suggest that you try eating low carb, at first it's hard but after a while it just becomes normal and it's easy. So if you did do low carb, here are some good things to eat:
Vegetables
Meats
Eggs
Cheese
Nuts
Fruit
And of course you can cook, prepare, or season these foods however you want, as long as it doesn't add carbs to it.
You wouldn't want to eat too much of the fruits and nuts though, because these are not really low carb, however they are some of the healthier carbs out there and they have less of an impact compared to other things so it's okay to eat a little of them.
I hope this helps!
39 mine wasnt emergency I was In labor for ten hours but then I just picked to have a csection
Well I only say this because too much insulin can cause weight gain, and I figure that if I can take less insulin with still having good numbers, I might as well. But that's just my opinion, I don't know if it's scientifically proven to be healthier to take less insulin.Healthiest to inject as little as possible??? How comes???
I see where you're coming from in regards to weight gain but I think that's generally boluses and obviously everyone requires different amounts to keep them alive and obviously depends on what you eat as well as what exercise you do....not saying you're wrong though!Well I only say this because too much insulin can cause weight gain, and I figure that if I can take less insulin with still having good numbers, I might as well.

How do you eat though? Do you eat low carb or do you just dose for whatever carbs you eat?I see where you're coming from in regards to weight gain but I think that's generally boluses and obviously everyone requires different amounts to keep them alive and obviously depends on what you eat as well as what exercise you do....not saying you're wrong though!
I've never been on any dose lower than 20 in the 8 years that I have had diabetes and don't think I will either....lol everyone's body's are just so different....seeing your background doses and I'm thinking if I was on that....I'd be dead ha
Nope don't low carb tried it a few times and it's far too expensive lol I eat what I want....diabetes doesn't rule meHow do you eat though? Do you eat low carb or do you just dose for whatever carbs you eat?
Well I'm glad it's working out for you! And you're right, low carb can be expensive. If you did do low carb, I'm sure you could adjust your long lasting insulin much lower, not that it really matters since it sounds like your doing fine nowNope don't low carb tried it a few times and it's far too expensive lol I eat what I want....diabetes doesn't rule meand food has never been a problem for my control the only thing that has been wrong with my control is me and my depression and not testing but I'm on top of that now. I'm relatively healthy so see no need to low carb but each to there own!
I'm not sure because I've basal tested loads and the amount I'm on is what I need it's lower on the pump as I'm on a total of 47u a day now whereas I was on 60 odd before but now I'm pregnant so it varies hahaWell I'm glad it's working out for you!

Well I guess each person might just need a certain amountI'm not sure because I've basal tested loads and the amount I'm on is what I need it's lower on the pump as I'm on a total of 47u a day now whereas I was on 60 odd before but now I'm pregnant so it varies haha
YesWell I guess each person might just need a certain amountHow was your hba1c?
Oh lol, so what meter do you use?Yesmy last one was 62 so 7.8 but my last two was very close together so my consultant said that it it probably a lot lower than that but it's only that high down to me lol
It's down to faults of my own...depression mainly and the contour link USB one it connects to my pumpOh lol, so what meter do you use?
Oh I see what you meant. And I use the freestyle insulinx, it's greatIt's down to faults of my own...depression mainly and the contour link USB one it connects to my pumpyou?
But I'm doing better nowOh I see what you meant. And I use the freestyle insulinx, it's great
That's goodBut I'm doing better nowand ah that has the bolus wizard on it doesn't it
It can't calculate your carbs? I swear it does but you have to get your dsn to unlock it I think!That's good. And I don't think so, it's just a meter. I don't use a pump.
Well maybe it does haha, I don't know about it though so I'll have to look into it.It can't calculate your carbs? I swear it does but you have to get your dsn to unlock it I think!
