Afternoon
I'm feeling rather disappointed and unsupported after my appointment with my DSN.
She confirmed I have DP (have known this since diagnosis 10.5 years ago), confirmed I am insulin resistant until mid afternoon (I am aware of this from BG readings and also the DP), and advised a LCHF eating regime MAY help me to stabilise my readings - I already follow this.
I queried a CGM as i go to bed with a BG reading of 6-8mmol but wake 2.5 tomes higher...I was told instead to set an alarm and do a 3am and 5am BG check 'to see what's going on'.
I asked about pump therapy 'it COULD be in the pipeline further down the line'.
I asked about metformin/change to my current insulin... 'Split Levemir and Novorapid is actually the best regime for you'.
I expressed a concern over the impact of unstable BG levels and constant morning highs of 14-18mmols. The response I got...'Awk they're not too bad, they PROBABLY wouldn't cause any lasting damage'.
Follow up appointment was given to me for the 10th of March...
