    Hi elliw, welcome to the club! Did you give some blood samples? My thinking is, Could they be waiting for the results, so they can confirm the type? I'm sure it won't be long until you get a more definitive result. Then you will get into the right treatment plan. hope it goes well...

    Hi diakat it'll be OK. Are you OK? I do always cross reference, and find differences, but not that big if you take the time difference of 10-15 into account. My long lasting is twice a day. I'm readjusting based on patterns. Thank you for your time and replies
