Message: <blockquote data-quote="master mouse" data-source="post: 426597" data-attributes="member: 30803">hi, I wondered if anyone else who is type 2 and on insulin and stizoglipin  is also doing the weight watchers diet and trying to keep to low carb?is there anyone out there  doing the weight watchers diet?I was recommended by my diabetic nurse after my doctor wouldn't send me to a dietitian.I started it a few days ago, and the only help given by my diabetic nurse is to try to adjust my insulin and go low carb. No advice on how to do it or how to adjust my dose...I have had 2 hypos in the short time I have been on it.Now I have had a panic attack as I live alone and was feeling so shook up by it.I only adjusted my insulin by a few units but think the hypos may be because I adjusted both at once instead of checking my long acting was right.I have been reading the booklet carbs count by diabetes uk and that seems to make more sense but am finding the working out the carb to insulin ratio confusing.would be interested in other people experiences and any help with my dose adjustment.How many carbs should I aim for on a low carb diet?I am feeling very overwhelmed and got a headache looking at carb count/calories/wwpoints and trying to tally them all together.Begining to think my life is never going to be normal and the diabetes is my life not me living my life with diabetes.</blockquote>
