@slip - that sucks, I’m sorry it was so frustrating. My last clinic appointment was exasperating - I saw a registrar instead of my normal bloke, and he started by telling me how well Tresiba was clearly working for me (he’d got the second to last HbA1c instead of my current one), even though I’d been on the pump for a couple of months by then. I showed him the MySugr printouts I always take, and he wanted explanations for a couple of (not too severe, maybe mid 3mmol) hypos I’d had - one was a gig, one was a wedding, when I’d had a “couple” of glasses of wine, hence the lows. I think one was my birthday, when we were traipsing around Cardiff all day and I’d only had the pod for four days... Anyway, I always request to be copied in on my medical letters, and when it arrived, it had me on all the wrong meds, made me out to be a raging alcoholic, and got the conversion wrong between the new and old HbA1c measures... I’d gone in hoping to have a great discussion with my consultant (he’s aware of my science background, and we talk almost on a peer-to-peer level) about how well my tech was working for me, plus smooth levels with my low carbing, and it was just so disappointing by a patronising know all. Ugh. Anyway, I had a lovely chat with the “diabetes specialist dietician”, who I’ve known for many years and got me my Omnipod PDQ. She loves what I’m doing - she’s seen me at my worst, in the ICU with DKA and an HbA1c of 134; so we’ve really been on a bit of a journey together.
@Cumberland - also thinking of you for tomorrow
Smooth night here, although maybe a little on the low side. Libre has me as in the red all night, but Spike has me in the mid fours. Quite tempted to unhook my Librelink and Diasend accounts so the clinic doesn’t see my “raw” data... and just take Spike/MiaoMiao based printed reports to my next appointment in March!
