Novolin R

Hi, I take 22m 3x a day before meals and 20ml of protaphane before sleep. I do skip the insulin at lunchtimes. My diet is about 70% ok. I cut out potatoes and had limited low GI bread and my sugar in morning normally about 14. I am at a diabetic clinic. Any info to help me. Thanks

DiaBeta

I just flat out refuse to take Diabet again. Why? It gave me foot neuropathy which started when I was 20 minutes walk from the house. Longest walk I've ever had and we did 25 mile road marches when I was in the Army.
