| *Update*
I switched back to lantus, first early morning reading was 5.4 *puffs out chest with pride*. It has been continuously good since then. i have also started my low carb diet again, eating mostly fish and salads, eggs for breakfast and nuts and cheese for snacks. ALL my water retention has gone, my appetite has decreased, my blood sugars are close to perfect, and I feel GREAT. I know this diet is for me, obviously it's not good to over dose on the fat and protein but I've thrown my bread and pasta in the bin. This is the only diet that works for me. When I started eating the traditional high carb diet I promptly put on a stone in weight and felt terrible. I don't care what my doc says this time, I'm sticking to this.
Oh, btw, the hypos at night have stopped too. I don't know whether my novorapid was peaking at night from what I had for dinner- and being on the low carb diet has stopped this- but they've stopped.
