[QUOTE="BoatieBird, post: 2626495, member: 577010"] I could have written most of this myself too. With the exception that I get told to up my insulin over and over again. Then I get told that I must lose weight. I have become truly fed up of explaining that I can't lose whilst injecting high doses. It falls on deaf ears because I'm supposed to fit into their tickboxes... And because I don't, there's no treatment plan. I think as T2's we are treated as second class citizens by all of the NHS, and not much better by general society either. We are seen as overweight overeaters who would surely be cured if only we stopped gorging on doughnuts and chips. I'm currently out to prove a point. I'm logging all food and exercise, practising low carb and intermittent fasting... If I lose weight and reduce my blood sugars I'll be ecstatic. If I don't, then I'll insist on a face to face review and show my food, bloods and dosage log. [/QUOTE]
