[QUOTE="jonathan183, post: 2547739, member: 491092"] It may take a week or two to get the dose something close to optimum, but unfortunately it is not constant - so some adjustment will be needed for weather, exercise etc. The idea will be to approach optimum without overshooting and having hypos. You may find a CGM works well for you but in any case I'd suggest you start with blood glucose measurement by finger prick to start with. I'd also use finger prick for treating hypos - you should carry some fast acting carbs for treating hypos ... If you are driving you need to let the DVLA know ... the license with be changed for one which is issued every couple of years. You can ask about getting a CGM since you are on insulin ... not sure what the NHS guidance is on that ... it changed fairly recently [/QUOTE]
