[QUOTE="JimmyD, post: 28981, member: 12072"] Dear Worzel321 I am no Doctor or professional but I would be concerned if my daughter was still getting those readings regularly. She was diagnosed Dec 2007 and we had very little control to start with as we were on the two injections a day with Novarapid to use when high. The hospital started us on this and we were just feeding the insulin the whole time and I did not know there was any other way. We were also getting very high readings and then very low, lots of swinging. We went on a Diabetes weekend organised by Diabetes UK and from the information we were given we elected to change to the Multi Daily Injections which means calculating the carbs. On this weekend there were lots of Diabetics to discuss our problems with and help with the decision also there was a Doctor there who was Diabetic. Since changing and it hasn't been that easy we have much better control, latest HB1AC 8.1. However this week we have been getting average readings of 6 which I don't think we would have achieved on the old regime. JimmyD [/QUOTE]
