Can any tell me what they do I've started slimming world and my sugars have gone really low I'm adjusting insulin but still going low before bed ? I've been saving my bread for banana sandwich but don't like eating so late? I'm type 2 any tips
 
Hi Woody, what sort of insulin do you take, as this affects how flexible you can be about the amount of carbs you eat?
 
Hi Woody,

That does make it a bit more complicated. Have you thought about asking the medical team responsible for your care if you could change to a basal bolus regime to give you more flexibility and also send you on a carb counting course? This would mean you wouldn't have to eat certain amounts of carbs at each meal and could therefore help you with your weight loss.
 
I am on basal and bolus insulins. Levemir and Novorapid. I started Slimming World yesterday and am now awake having just had a hypo at 2:00am. Fortunately I was well aware. Admittedly, I had been to the gym today too, so. I think it is going to take some considerable adjustments. Just used 20 syns just to get levels up to 5.5! Not a great start!

Sounds like the Levemir might need adjusting on gym days!
