hi
I used to go to my GP to see my diabetic nurse, on one appointment the nurse said your HBAIc is mmol/l 13 which was sky high
so my GP sent me to a dedicated diabetic centre I went there for a year I was given a new slow acting insulin Toujeo , and my Apidra was increased from two pens to five, i was also provided with two new medications .
At my last appointment last week the nurse said I will refer you back to your GP now because your Hba1c is now 7
What helped my enormously was I now use the Freestyle Libre which I admit is very expensive £96 for a months supply
But being able to check on my blood sugars around 30-40 times a day helped my bring my Hba1c back to near normal
I am so pleased now I don't have to prick my fingers ,What a marvelous device the Freestyle Libra is
Ps
I am red lined because I spelt Centre the English way and Not Center the American way is this an American forum?
