Hi,

A quick question. I went to see the diabetic centres GP today for a check up. He said I was doing really well as I have lowered my bg levels from 25+ to 4.0 -10.00 within 10 days, using Novorapid (breakfast & evening) as my only insulin. However, my concern is that he didn't suggest anything else and told me to carry on!

He didn't suggest bolus/basal insulin like my DN suggested last week or mention how I can improve my diet or what I should do when I start going to the gym. His reply was very vague, I'll know how much insulin/food to take when I'm exercising. Does this sound right? Should I be getting a second opinion?

I'm also concerned about my insulin dosage in the evenings, as I'm scared to go to bed with low levels in case of a night time hypo.

I've asked to see my DN when she returns from her annual leave next week. I'm very concerned :|
