[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1016748, member: 211362"] You're welcome :) Has your doc done the GAD & c-peptide tests as yet? It would be a worry that he has you on gliclazide if you don't have your own insulin or insufficient insulin production. This drug is designed to stress your pancreas to produce more insulin. I guess if you have your own insulin it would be ok. But hopefully you get the results of the tests and you get put on the correct treatment. It sounds like your treatment isn't right still. Yes, good idea to increase basal to help, although it will be hard to control your sugar peaks from meals with that. Hopefully you get the bolus insulin before you go away. Yeh I've learnt to have quick acting carbs everywhere I need it... at work, in the car, by my bed side, etc. Also make sure you have long acting carbs handy too like muesli bars, etc... they're needed after the quick acting ones if you're not near a meal time.
