[QUOTE="smidge, post: 690883, member: 29301"] [USER=83701]@logindetails[/USER] - I get the same lecture from my consultant. He absolutely insisted I raise my bedtime BG level to about 10. Since then, my fastings have been between 10 and 15 and my control is shot to pieces. I should have ignored him, but like others I was scared about my driving license. I had a Medtronic sensor on last week, and the results have just come through and they don't make pretty reading. I'm now terrified of going back to the consultant week after next to discuss them. I'll take him copies of my Libre data from this week to show him how my control has improved since I ignored his instructions over night time levels and have gone back to managing my own way. I'm now 75% in target whereas I was only 62% in target following his advice. I've also made a mental note to keep a BG meter specially for showing consultants and just dealing with my BG issues alone from now on. I'll see how it goes, but I think it's time for me to change consultant to someone with even a modicum of original thought. Smidge [/QUOTE]
