Hi Phil, perhaps try injecting at least 20 mins if not 30 mins before you eat and see what that does for you. Do you eat a lot of fat? I ask because some people find that they need a lot of basal if they lc/hf, so worth looking at this aspect.hi I am 53 my bmi is 24 my hb1ca is 96.
yes I do correction doses. I take my apidra 10 minuets before meals (that's if I have any thing to eat) and then do a test 2 and 3 hours after and the do a correction. now the dsn have said not to do that leave then correction till next meal and not to take my apidra before going to bed, as I was doing the correction doses last thing the going up to bed and taking my lantus . I have tried taking the apidra before a meal, in the middle of a meal, after a meal, splitting it. and no change. the only time it did drop was when I had the bright idea that may be if I stopped eating anything that may be that may re kick every thing and it may start working but the loest it dropped to was 13.3 . I have lots of no carb meals and I do not now eat when my bm is above 22 to try and drop it. but was told off by the dsn for doing that. I can not do right for doing wrong lol . all I know is I want my life back, to eat, drink what I wanted when I wanted.(please, pretty please) or is that asking to much ?????.
hi all update
a letter to day from my ccg. copy to consultant and to gp
the letter goes on to say that insulin pumps are rarely used in type 2 diabetes, however through an IFR application this can be made by yourself or the consultant direct to [email protected]. it may certainly benefit some patients with complex needs.
there is NO issue of barriers to care here if clinical recommendation is received at IFR.
I would be very grateful if you could liaise with Philip and his consultant to ensure this matter is resolved.
phone call from G.P. to go and see him tomorrow at 10.30. I am not going to hold my breath and I am going open minded.
