I think I said the right thing to the right people at the right time. My GP is very kind but kept saying youre under control but I didnt feel it. Also theres been a reshuffle . The diabetes nurse left - i could never get the info I wanted. One of the GPs took over as Lead of the Diabetic team...

@KennyA Im not familiar with studies from the US. The British government seems keen on us not taking high amounts of saturated fat and pushes the use of statins. The main use i make of fat content is to check labels, if somee packet has a lower sat fat than another I buy it....... the other...

@Lily21 i Lily Hi , what was your fear at using 1 unit. Im type 2 , my doc gave me 10 units as a starter dose 1/2 the Levemir. I went with that , as the previous dose of Levemir would still be in my body (maybe explain your low)and I'd Id rather go high than low. We worked together me...

6.1 @ 10pm 5.9 being unused to low readings , afraid of nightime low, i took 1/2 slice rye bread with hummous.

@KennyA Thanks for the explanation . I brought up the late lowering of my fingerprick readings after meals, with the GP who's overseeing the swop to Houmulin 1 for Levemir replacement. He was happy to receive my 4 hr readings after meals while phasing out Levemir . That satisfies me . Its...
