    Views on levels

    Yes your right, it's seems to be a persuasion game, I have been discharged from the care of the DN as hba is below 7, the gp seems to think 6.8 is acceptable, personally I would like to get it lower. The dn is not prepared to offer a fast acting or pre mix regime and had stated increasing...
