Hi
I've been having problems with very varying BG readings for a while now, even though my last Hba1c was 6.1, it doesn't reflect what goes on on a daily basis. I am at present on Lantus and Novo rapid, I have tried everything I can think off to try and achieve more stable bg, even tried animal insulin for a while, to no avail and reluctantly had to go back to Lantus.
I saw my consultant today who says that I have to try and accept that this is where my diabetes is at or that I might consider trying an insulin pump, I said I would have to think about it, as to be quite honest I am sick and tired of diabetes at the moment and feeling quite down about it all. Not sure how insulin pumps work either. I find my Bg varies with my monthly cycle and no two months are consistent either, so how would this work. Feeling just a bit overwhelmed by it all.
