[QUOTE="kareeta, post: 150888, member: 330"] Hi everyone Had my annual review today and I am so fed up. HBAIC in range as far as they are concerned at 7.8 I'm not over the moon but I have certainly been high enough over the last 90 days to warrant a rise. I asked the Doctor if there was anything else I could so to support my control , saying I was low carbing, taking supplements etc and explained my problem with rising BG on aerobic exercise. I told her I was concered as I had been monitoring my levels very carefully and noticing trends which include injecting more and more of background and bolus. I asked if she thought this would keep increasing and she said yes probably. No explanation but a suggestion to keep increasing my dosage. I tried to articulate how upsetting this was (not the injecting) but the lack of control and she just suggested I was depressed and therefore required a 'good' antidepressant. Declined thanks. Then suggested being stressed made me high by pushing cortisone levels up, I am no more stressed than usual, working mum , I feel as though they have no interest in my genuine concern. I also enquired about Byetta, after reading though the forum extensively. Doc says I could have it no problem if I put 3 stones on!! Great motivation. She also said its primarily prescribed as a weight loss med , and not as I thought an aid to lowering BG. Sorry, rant over. I feel rather invisible to the NHS today Karen x [/QUOTE]
