Hi I commenced the 8 week diet and am now into my 3rd week and have lost eight kilos to date. My bgl readings have improved and I am really pleased with the results to date.
I take insulin, Byetta 10 and diabex 1000xr pre breakfast and dinner and have reduced my insulin doses to avert hypos. Over the last week as my weight has decreased and with my bgls averaging around the 5.2 range my post meal readings have been in the low 3’s and last night 2.9. Whilst I have not felt any illness I am concerned regarding the possibility of having a hypo and have had jelly beans etc to stabilise my figures and avert having a hypo.
What do others in similar situations do or what suggestions are there regarding suitable foods that will quickly restore my blood glucose levels without to much detriment to the eating plan?
I have lowered my insulin doses by two units morning and evening from this morning in accordance with my improved blood glucose readings.
Any advice / suggestions welcome.
Thanks for your help.
