ten hours assumes splitting the dose, two in 24 hours (each lasts about ten hours.

I was told that Lantus only lasts 10 hours so there is a two hour gap not covered. What does this mean for bloodsugar in the other two hours___

Hallo have been on since January diabetic for about 27 years struggling to understand how to regain some health after following Diabetic professionals advice for years, all not helping, trying to get ALC from 6.6 - under 5 Taking too much insulin, very responsive to carb highs with almost no carbs, interested in nutrition,…

breakfast-Ceres muesli 20 gms, almond milk 20 ml pomegranate seeds , 2 tsp , sunflower seeds , pumpkin seeds, flaxseed,I/2 apple sliced,20 gms easiyo yoghurt coconut, about 400 cals Lunch nutritarian salad ,cottage cheese.soy milk calciplus

30 carbs per meal is my goal at present though not really "low carb" My last ALc was 6.6( 49) (about 118 L/Mg.dl) a big drop from previous ones I think you would see improved results if your graph above was 90 carbs per day evened over 3 meals You are your own health manager -try it and see Go well!

I tried no eating after dinner and lighter evening meal. this has helped my morning BG levels a lot, A habit worth developing,,,,,I was also helped by taking charge of my health and not just doing what medics said, each diabetic is unique Welcome!

fasting IS 12 HOURS ACCORDING TO Byron Richards, the leptin guy ,cutting out supper snacks for all time!I got used to this after years of suppers before bed!

I have recently been taken off metformin after 20 years as it was leaching B12 from my body so I had B12 injections for a year and then the metformin was discontinued. Also leaches out other vitamins minerals etc and caused diarrhoea and gastric upsets for years but I did not link this to metformin!

fantastic How did you do it?

try giving up night snack, have nothing after dinner and see if thiseaffects morning BSugars

Cut out evening snacks, we have oranges for dessert. Byron Richards on Leptin advises 5hours between eating and nothing after dinner to give system time to rest and repair and reduce excess insulin secretion, that comes to cope with food influx. Every time you eat you start the digestive cycle again and body thinks it must…

Bernstein's introduction re his own journey is inspiring, He basically became his own health manager and tested his practice by testing repeatedly and evaluating the results, ie what worked for him and setting new goals. Official diabetic guidelines are very misleading and haven't caught up with current thinking and…

low magnesium may be the cause, I suffered from leg pains /cramps etc but these improved markedly when I started taking magnesium Worth reading about magnesium and the 300 jobs it does in the body , fact that soils may be depleted in magnesium too. (" Wikihow" has good article on magnesium with pictures that are rapidly…

are you taking metformin? this leaches B12 out of the body plus other nutrients

I have those symptoms and I have degenerative spinal stenosis, may be good to get your spine tested for arthritis/ osteo etc. to see if this is causing your sitting issues.

thanks Thanks I wasn't aware of this!

5.6 ie 100 at 4am

metformin caused diarrhoea and stomach cramps though I have been\n on it for years, just didn't connect the symptoms with metformin until I learned that I had very low B12 ( and low iron) due to this being leached out of my system by metformin B12 injections for a year), , also other nutrients lost so OFF METFORMIN Haven't…

40% protein 25% carbs 35% fat trialling and error, trying to keep carbs 30 per meal, also trying to raise iron calcium and protein Whey protein helpful for raising protein levels, raised calcium with soy and almond milk and yoghurt but very difficult to raise iron levels

bought it, =very practical AND HELPS WITH SMALL STEPS thANKYOU

Thanks HIker I agree HAVE SAME PROBLEM BUT DIAGNOSITC ELECTROLYTE TESTS SHOWED GOOD POTARSSIUM levels SO LIKE YOU SAID I MUST BE GETTING IT SOMEHWERE!

after 25 years I was taken off metformin because it caused loss of B12 and low ferritin and I had lots of diarrhoea I noticed no difference in my blood sugar Since then I have learned that there are other vitamin losses through metformin I now have no diarrhoea or stomach upsets1

6,6 is better but I don't eat any rice, pasta cakes etc. most of the carbs come form yoghurt soy milk etc. I cant reduce them as I am trying to eat more calcium foods I am trying to cut the insulin ( taking 68 basal p.d. and 20 per meal which is too much and following Leptin diet to increase hours between eating etc (Byron…

I was on metformin for 25 YEARS had lots of diarrhoea , endocrinologist took me off this medicine ( 1000 a day) and I noticed improved bowel movements Did not affect my BG ! Also taken off B12 injections, metformin can cause B12 to be excreted! I have had yeARS OF incorrect diabetic advice!

MY HBalc WAS 68 LAST YEAR NOW DOWN TO 49 ( 6.6) tTRYING ALL SoRT - now Leptin Diet Byron Richards says nothing to eat after dinner and then fasting next day will be lower.

mY hA1c CAME BACK YESTERDAY AT 49, MIE 6.6

THANKS
