Insulin or medication

[gail2]

Thanks for answer. Right to persevere with diet and meds rather than insulin.A few friends are telling to give up the efforts and go to insulin like they have and eat what they like!!

It's not as simple as that your friends are so wrong in saying that. You can't be on insulin and eat what you want you will make yourself very ill indeed\

@ray6 I see you are by now an expert! I lost weight on carbs between 100 to120. However when I went on dapaglifozin I was told I needed to eat a reasonable number of carbs. No one gave me a figure but at least 130 seemed needed. Im assuming the 'flozin' is similar to the one I take.
Obviously you need to make sure you are getting enough fat and protein as you are a healthy weight but you may be able to reduce your portion size of carbs or add more veg or use suitable alternatives to pasta or rice.
You are obviously living life well.

Expert? i wish. Canaglifoxin similar to Dapa. Thanks for all the advice. I am reassured that I'm on the right track. Might have to work ai it a little be more.

I don’t think this is true Gail. When you dose correctly you can eat whatever you like on insulin, just take the right dose and timing of insulin to match it.

As I understand it, that flexibility only applies with a variable basel/bolus regime. Those on fixed doses don't necessarily have that choice.

They can choose not to be on fixed doses and have that choice
