Tsk tsk! You're on a warning young lady!😱😉 I once fell asleep in the chair after a night's imbibing and couldn't remember whether I'd taken my lantus. There was nothing written in my book, but when I looked at my pills I had taken them (they have the day of the week printed on the packet), so I assumed I had taken the lantus too - didn't want to risk a double dose!

Hi I have a question as I am considering trying a low carb approach to losing weight however I need support and menus to follow as I cant do it alone so am I safe to either sign up to Tesco ediets low carb plan or Rosemary Conely Low Gi plan? Which is better?
Thanks 🙂
Thanks 🙂
Haha uh oh. Ive done it a few times this year 😱 I'm not usually this bad, I should really be more careful. Usually my levels are fine the next day (maybe the alcohol still doing it's thing?!) but yesterday I was high allll day
Wow you are good with your levemir, I doubt taking it 1.5hrs late will make much difference at all.
Haha I know, our thread has never been lower down the pages, we must keep it alliiiive
Hi Ghost hunter. I dont know about those diets and im not an expert on low carbing, so i'll wait for someone with more expertise to answer your questions hehe.

I bought some prawns so will have them at some point. Tonight i'm making cauliflower cheese, yum!!
I love Cauliflower Cheese , its nice with a mixture of Brocolli too Yumm
ok wtf?! help!! i just tested my bloods because i wanted to make sure im back on the straight and narrow after yesterdays highs, but no... i'm 17.7 after hardly any carbs and plenty of insulin, if anything i'd expect to go low. I just checked for ketones and they are moderate 😱 Ive only ever had traces... What's wrong with me!?
Just changed novorapid cartridges just in case it was that, I was at the end of it anyway. Right, I'm going to drink a pint of water now 😱

Hmm dont panic , you said you had a sore throat , that'll be the culprit , plenty of water and a correction . still eat you tea though and insulin with that , you still need to eat.
ive taken 10 units! im drinking the water. I dont have a sore throat though... must be thinking of Sam, twin I will have dinner. Hope i'm not coming down with anything, I went out with a friend on friday and the next day he told me his sister has had swine flu, uh oh!

i'm really curious about a low carb diet. i know for sure i couldn't do a no-carb, but i would happily look at switching to a low carb diet.
i'm veggie though which makes it difficult (but not impossible). when i get paid i will get a few books i think. i know this would be the kind of thing i would have to do over a long period of time (as in converting to a low carb diet, taking it slowly). because i would want it to be a long term change, i would need to go into it slowly.
i'm just a sucker for carbs, i really am. i crave chocolate every now and again and usually give in (unless i'm about to eat a meal). most of our meals are centered around carbs in one form or another.
