[QUOTE="k-d, post: 1606202, member: 407833"] Hi folks, I thought I would give this a little update.. , I was up seeing the consultant a fortnight ago, my latest HbA1C was 42 which is basically the same as the last time while. I was starting to wake up with bg readings that were getting higher over the last few weeks, so it's been decided to go back on 10 units of lantus. I sort of slipped off the wagon of low carb as I was laid off in the summer and have been drinking alcohol and sort of lazing about which has not been good for my weight, I'm now up to 14st 10lbs. The consultant said I'll be given a C-peptide test in about 18mths but he is now thinking it's possible I might be a type2 as i've kept on putting weight on without being on insulin but with not working at the moment this could factor in to the weight gain. So the last few mornings wakening up with bg's of 14.6, 14.6 and 12.7, so I bit the bullet and followed his advice and took my first shot of lantus, I know I should've waited until tonight but I've been been flip flopping on taking it for nights now, so at least spur of the moment has got me started. I need to get focused and motivated and get back on low carbing [/QUOTE]
