[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 594932, member: 11028"] Beverly ,you must remember to take your basal insulin (lantus) otherwise you will never get your diabetes under control, as others have suggested try setting an alarm to remind you when to take it, the mobile phone alarm is a good suggestion as we are never too far away from our mobiles. If you are sometimes unsure whether you have taken your lantus insulin then you can buy devices that fit on the end of pens such as Insulcheck, they display the time in which you last used the pen and are very handy for those moments of self-doubt. As for your diet, the suggestion to see a dietitian is a good one and you should at least give it a go, diet is an individual choice and there's little point in following someone else's diet if your dietary preferences are somewhat different. Not sure if a carb counting course such as DAFNE has been mentioned to you, if not then ask your DSN if you can put your name down for the next available course, there's an on-line carb counting course which is similar to the DAFNE and covers just about everything that is taught on the course, here is the link to the website: [url]http://www.bdec-e-learning.com/[/url] [/QUOTE]
