Over the years I have had a few theories about why. Perhaps they wanted us to eat more carbs to make up for the fact we were being told we needed to avoid all fat ? I reckon some consultant somewhere may have been carrying out an experiment and recruited a group of junior doctors to help. I'm afraid I lost confidence in the diabetes clinic staff as a whole as a result of the crazies I encountered.I never wanted MDI either, but I was given no choice. I was furiously angry at the way my wishes were over-ridden. My waking BS actually rose  on MDI. The rest was the same as before. The doctor who had forced me onto MDI was really disappointed and kept saying my waking BS should have fallen. I immediately asked to switch back, but this was refused. In more recent years I have repeatedly had to fight for what I wanted, but now I know I can.</blockquote>
