Have had type2 Diabetes for 4 years. On humulin m3 twice a day for 2 years.had horrific mouth ulcers ?cause for a week. Have seen Dentist gp and maxillary /facial consultant on Christmas Eve. On lots of medication. Can't eat - too painful. Have managed Complan vegetables and liquidised cold C mas dinner yesterday. Have reduced Insulin from 42 units x 2 to 32 units x2 per day but bg still low. Could I stop Insulin altogether pro temps? Nobody around to ask unless I dial 111 again. First time on here. Would be grateful for any help
You really need medical advice.
If you can't speak to a DSN (do they have emergency duty nurse?) Then go with 111 and ask for advice.
Sorry can't help further and best of luck

You really do need to ask a professional about this .
As a Diabetic we are always told never to stop using or taking our insuin .
As you are not eating food and going too low BG levels - this certainly needs some professional advice and steering for yourself
Please contact 111 and let them know of your current situation .
Do let us all know how things go as we will be thinking of you with genuine concern .
