Where's the best place to inject insulin and what to eat to lower blood sugars

@AndBreathe I feel better than ever. I've had the lovely support from my university friends and more importantly my soul mate who has been by my side through the worst of it all.

Other changes in my life has been having a data entry job since July, so no more going the job centre, work programme and a temporary relief from the stress and depression of searching and applying for countless jobs.

I monitor my blood sugars constantly and I've only had them really high twice in 6 months, but they were due to being ill. I'm not strict on how high I want them to be, but anything in double digits, I make sure I take action on it. I haven't gone completely low carb, but I've reduced my intake to a acceptable level and set myself a few days in a month where I look forward to having some carbs, such as my mum's cooking when she has days off. Even then I don't have as much carbs as instead of having just a big slice of lasagna or shepherds pie, I have smaller portions plated with lots of kale, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, peppers, onions or mushrooms. I no longer eat cereal, instead it's poached eggs on top of a half of lidl's high protein rolls. I've cut out all sauces and condiments apart from mayo and I stock up on different meats, fish and cheeses. So yeah everything is great.
