[QUOTE="lcarter, post: 2113982, member: 93162"] Hi all x Not sure if you recall but I have been diagnosed as a type 1 for 11 years...now over the course of 4 months and lots of tests, it has come back that I'm actually a type 2 diabetic and I'm just in shock. So I'm on insulin, toujeo x 40 once a day, and fiasp fast acting with carbs. The dr wanted me on slow releasing metformin 500g 4 times a day, but I've reacted so badly to this I have had to come off them entirely (intensely bad diarreah etc.) But these did make my levels better but wasnt worth the stomach pain and the constant runs, even on one a day. [emoji24] I've tried doing low carb and high healthy fat, and although this keeps my levels kind of steady, I'm still not getting any weight loss or any lower sugar readings. Can anyone advise me what I am doing wrong? Before I completely give up and try slimming world [emoji24] [/QUOTE]
