Hello Fergus. Many thanks for your interest. I attend the Diabetic Hospital clinic every 6 months, and for years my consultant has remarked how consistently good my HbA1c readings are. They vary between 4.9 and 6.1. My last reading was 6.0 in November. In order to get such good...

Hello again. Many thanks for your much appreciated replies. In all the years that I have been taking insulin I can never remember having a spell of satisfactory bs results. By spell I mean 3-4 days. Personally, I think I may have a permanent hidden minor infection or I may be resistant to...
