Ok I Know that im supposed to go every 6 months but find it pointless as all the doctor says is the same as the last time, take 20 units of lantus instead of 18, this time take 18 units of lantus instead of 20.
I only go for my eyes and blood, ok blood last year 5.9 this year 5.8 i wake up with a reading of 5.4 most mornings after advice from someone here a long time type 1 that i should aim to go to bed with 6.6 reading.
Got a call from (Name removed) birmingham (think thats the name where a nurse phones you every month to see how you are doing) She said I am not a diabetic but wish i had reading like yours, cholesteral perfect, habc1 5.8 liver heart kidneys all perfect, blood pressure bang in the middle just slightly low ( it was just slightly high last year so i cut out all types of butter spread etc for 1 year now i take it every second day so trying for bang in the middle.
I take 20 units of lantus a night and 8-10 units of novo rapid with evenly meals. when I wake up I have a banana no insulin and drink tea a lot, I have 1 tsp fruit sugar with two sweetners hermasetas i do not take asprataine.
by having fruit only pears and bananas i can keep my blood 5.4 to 5.8 all day, my meals are all vegetarian and within an hour of eating i am back down to 5.4.
I have no excess weight and have lost 20 pounds since my last checkup.
Ok so the nurse said whats your secret I told her two things SMOKING or OLIVES as I have olives with nearly every meal and have a smoke with every cup of tea, she said it would be the olives i say the smoking.
The one thing i do know that as soon as i was diagnoised with type 1 I never touched a drink again as it terrified me' as a young man I was in the (Name removed) eye hospital after losing an eye in an accident, this young guy was a diabetic and losing his sight; he was told he will go blind if he did not stop NOW.
The next Sat he came into the hospital his face red with the tears, he had decided that he would give up drinking and would have one last night on the bevvy with his mates, well that one last binge made him lose his sight completly' he went totally blind the next day and i saw him in the corridor crying after the doctor told him there was nothing he could do' he was 19.
So when I saw the doctor after 6 months being type 1, he said you must stop smoking, i said ive stopped drinking " you can drink as much as you want he said but you must stop smoking" What I said are you a nutter i have with my own eyes (well eye) what drink does to diabetics and i have only one eye.
So I said a doctor cant lie on a death cetificate can they "No he said" Then show me one death cetificate from anywhere in the world thats says died as a result of smoking "just show me 1" and i will quit right now' he could not show me one.
Dont think im a fool if i thought that for one minute smoking would make my diabetis worse then i would stop instantly, but i know that having a smoke removes any stress i may have and that stress can cause you to have a stroke, the doctor says that smoking can cause the stroke .
If a type one does not take his/her insulin THEY WILL DIE, thats a fact, where smoking there are no facts that i can find after years and years of looking for them.
Cancer Research' Ash all say Smoking MAY; COULD not a positive "WILL" get cancer or a stroke.
I maybe wrong or I maybe right but I am doing what i think is the best way to deal with my diabetis and keep it as normal as possible to a non diabetics readings and have succeeded so far.
P.S I also cut out salt and if I do take salt I take sea salt
