Levels not going down

[PatsyB]

So I am on the Inuslin NovaRapid during the day and Treseba at night have been on this for a couple of years now and still my blood readings are high @ 73 , so am asking WHY is it not going down

Is that 7.3 before meals?

Is 73 your HbA1c Patsy? If it is, I winder if your doses need to be tweaked a bit.

Do you adjust your insulin doses, based on what you eat and drink?

this was my last one
Haemoglobin A1c level - IFCC standardised 69 mmol/mol

Yes I am wondering about whether I should ask to see a diabetic specialist about the Insulin and dosages as am on very little

You sound like you aren't taking enough insulin for the food you are eating. If your weight is ok then the diabetes team need to help you adjust the insulin doses. If you need to lose weight then try dropping the carb intake and you will hopefully find the hba1c drops too.

Do you have a CGM?
