Sam replied to julez_79's discussion 'Going very low between meals – WITHOUT Insulin'"Do you drink much alcohol? That can do it. Even one drink can substantially lower my numbers before a meal even without insulin"
Scott A replied to julez_79's discussion 'Going very low between meals – WITHOUT Insulin'"Julez, I'm not sure if it has been mentioned, but are you on any oral meds?
In my case regular metformin (combined with insulin) was causing highs and lows. I assume you are going high at times as well?"
ChristyFricks replied to julez_79's discussion 'Are you a LADA? What are your Total Daily Doses?'"10 years since my journey began. I'm at 18 units of lantus and 5-7 units of novolog 2-3 times a day now. When I first started on insulin over a year ago it was only 10 units of lantus. slowly watching my pancreas poop out. :-/"

jrtpup said… Hi Julez,
Our Annual Campaign is coming!
Would you consider helping by writing a short comment/testimonial about your
experiences at TuD? The main message for the campaign this year is that no
one with diabetes should ever feel alone. Messages from our community give
people a real-life, personal sense of how valuable TuDiabetes is to each of
us, how it's changed our lives, etc.If you can, please include a photo of you doing something diabetic (if that
makes sense LOL). Please post to this group
(http://www.tudiabetes.org/group/why-i-participate-in-this-community), or
message to me from my page.Thanks my friends!

Welcome Julez, I am glad you found Tudibetes, it has been a huge help/resource for me. I lost 55 lbs. in 5 months whenoriginally diagnosed, I would not worry so much about calories just carbs. I eat every 2-3 hours to keep the hunger at bay and intake enough food to maintain weight. I have gained about 8 lbs back over the last 22 months and can fluctuate 5-6 pounds in two days time. I no longer worry about fat content, I only pay attention to portion size and carb totals. For example I buy 4% cottage cheese not the low fat stuff, this has helped to stabalize my weight. I will give you a piece of advice my doctor gave me, "relax, live a little" oh what a difference this has made:)
Good Luck,
Michael

Pssst.... pass it on!
I just wanted to stop by to see if you've done your Big Blue Test Today. Dont' forget that every time you log a Big Blue Test $5 is donated to diabetes charities that are providing life-saving supplies and services.
If you haven't yet, go log a Big Blue Test at http://www.bigbluetest.org/. If you have, do another!
