I've been hiding under the radar for a couple of years but have recently come to my senses and am making an effort to regain control of my T2ID by using Low Carb diet. Today I had an appointment with the consultant endocrinologist at a local hospital which has thrown up the fact that for the last three years I have been prescribed the wrong insulin!.... not by him, but by a GP at my health centre who wrongly read the change in the prescription. I've been injecting humalog lispro twice a day instead of a humalog mix! I am very angry especially as when I went to the surgery to get a new script a) the receptionist said it will take two days and b) said that after three years there was no record of who prescribed the wrong insulin. Little wonder I have been having problems. However the dietician, whilst not being in total agreement with my low carb diet offered a compromise. An increase from 30g up to about 90g per day. I will go with that, at least until my insulin is sorted. I'm now on humalog mix but may swap later. Comments and advice will be most welcome, please!
