[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2077954, member: 401801"] I'm thinking testing once a day is a waste of a perfectly good teststrip, as it doesn't really tell you anything... At least if you test before a meal and 2 hours after it, you can tell whether your body's doing what its supposed to do, and how well it's doing it. (With T1 it wouldn't do much of anything to regulate it, I don't think. But then there's the honeymoonperiod to consider. And I know next to nothing about T1. So ignore this bit. [USER=181361]@helensaramay[/USER] , your input, before I put too much of a foot in my mouth?) But as with everything, it's up to you. You did get your HbA1c down considerably, but I am a little concerned about what you're eating... You posted about binging earlier, now it sounds like you've swung the other way and not eating enough? What does a typical day look like now, food-wise? I do believe you have a say in whether or not you start insulin, as long as it's a "just in case" scenario, because if it is T1, there's not much choice anymore, as you need the stuff to live... But like the Mod said: You could come off it again later if it [I]is[/I] T2. Be gentle with yourself eh. Jo [/QUOTE]
