Message: <blockquote data-quote="Christine1" data-source="post: 427673" data-attributes="member: 67743">Hi MastermouseI am not following the weight watchers programme, but another one as I have nearly 5 stone to loose.  However my diet is cutting out all the rubbish, wheat, gluten and is fairly low carb.  I am on insulin Levemir split into two doses either end of the day and Novorapid injection before each of my three main meals.Like you I am totally overwhelmed about this carb thing, and although my mentor on the diet has told me to give myself some carbs e.g. pasta, I am still having hypos/sugar lows.  Yesterday within and hour and a half i went from a reading of 8.8 to 2.7, and boy did I feel ill the rest of the day.  During last week I had a sugar low most days.I am fortunate that I am meeting with a diabetic specialist nurse at my hospital and hopefully, but don't know when, the dietician.  I have been diabetic type 2 for many years, and on insulin for around 10 years, but not a very well controlled or good diabetic.  I have lost most of my eye sight to diabetic problems, and have at long last decided to "get my act" together.  I don't want to stop the diet programme I am on, as it gives me exercise twice a week too, and I also love the new food and healthy way I am eating now, and I desperately need to get my sugars under control and also loose the weight.I wish you well and if I get any good tips re sugar lows from the nurse of dietician I will pass these onto you.My brother in law when he was diagnosed with diabetes, he too didn't have a very good doctor ...... he changed his doctor and changed his doctors practice and things are so much better for him.I wish you well.  Take care</blockquote>
