I would find another DR asap. You should be at least being monitored every couple of months at this point to find out if the metformin is working. I have never heard of a type 2 on medication that does not test so I would flag that for sure. Most GPs have a Dr that 'specialises in diabetes' ie...

You can get pens with needles barely double the size of the ones in your testing kit, which I assume you have. I wouldn't say it is painless as some said. You will still feel it but not much more than a finger prick. It just happens to be elsewhere.

Your dinner is not out of your system, nor is your insulin, when you are going to bed. Novorapid will take at least 4 hours to go through your system. If you are going to bed feeling ok and waking up with a good level and carry on as normal. These are fantastic numbers for so early in your D...

If only I could work with my hands, hell yes. Just never one that works on the pitstop. Do NOT want the blame for a 9seconder!

Pretty much got bullied onto DAFNE when I did not want to go. My HBA1C was perfect and I already knew how to carb count as I was lucky enough to be taught that upon diagnosis in 1997 but they would not leave me alone over it. I knew most of it and spent the time feeling guilty that someone who...

I would love to be a lecturer at university specalising in mordern European history such as the inter-war years in Weimar Germany, Nazi Germany and life under communism. I've already had to take 3 years out of uni because of the diabetes (on the pump waiting list and then getting settled with...

Considering my captain Casillas has already left, I'd be a happy Madridista if the transfer window slammed shut right this instant. Tempted to hide Ramos in a supply closet until then. I miss the footie :( At least Wimbledon eased it a bit now the sports channels are not showing the wee...

Still in shock my team (RealMadrid) managed to pay a sensible amount for a player. Normally we pay several times their worth just because.

You could try splitting your lantus so that can have more overnight without risking hypos later or take some as soon as you get up try and stop the dp in its tracks. Then you are not forced to feed your diabetes at any point. As for the sports my blood always rises when doing sports (or..ironing...
