[QUOTE="Libbyloo, post: 124263, member: 25200"] Hi dragongirl, Yes I'll certainly let you know how I get on when I go to the hospital on 15th March. I'm not sure what the GP and DN have in mind, but they have certainly been mentioning insulin rather a lot. I really don't want to go down this route, especially as my bg levels are now much more reasonable (between 4 to 7 when I test 2 hours after eating, although I have had the odd blip when I've been testing out food). As I'm also now feeling considerably better, I'm a bit scared to change my medication in case it tips the boat. I'm intending to try to get clarification as to why insulin may be a better option than my current medication as I'm really not that convinced but I acknowledge I'm a bit of a novice at this. One thing I had thought of was that if the hospital peddles the insulin argument I may try to 'buy some time' and get a second opinion, perhaps by getting to see one of the people at the London Health Centre (which is listed on this site) and perhaps specifically try to get to see a nutritionist. My previous experience of NHS and nutrition/taking a holistic view left me really ill for over 18mths before it was confirmed I was lactose intolerant, so I'm a bit sceptical as to how the hospital diabetic clinic will approach this. Thanks for your posting, I had begun to think I was the only twiglet in this world! I'll update you after 15th, but meanwhile take care & best wishes, Libbyloo [/QUOTE]
