Hi I'm a 43 year old woman who had gestational diabetes 12 years ago, I had fairly good control for many years but I let it slip and up until last week I was on SR Metformin 1000mg twice a day, gliclizide 140mg and 18ml victosa. I've had some personal issues thats caused a lot of stress and BP shot up so at annual diabetic review it was decided to go on to insulin as BG was 17+.
My nurse started me on 12u Lantus and 4u novorapid and i've been gradually adjusting this, I'm currently up to 24u Lantus and 6u novorapid but I'm struggling to balance my food intake. I'm waking with +11still. I dont have a dietician appointment for some time and I would really like to improve my levels without taking too much more insulin. Carb counting seems to complicated, anyone got any simple guides for everyday use that I can start getting my head round?? I could do with losing a good stone too!
Love this forum but my head is buzzing with all the facts!! :shock: :shock: :shock:
