[QUOTE="Boo1979, post: 1727304, member: 446715"] Hi Ive been on Glic for the last 21 years and have experienced several times when control has got harder and extra drugs / higher doses of Glic suggested. We are all different as are our iterations of diabetes, but I have managed to avoid any drug escalations by adjusting my diet and aggressivly monitoring / tweaking each time control has become more difficult I was first diagnosed as insulin dependent and taught some bits about carb counting before my diagnosis was changed to one of non insulin dependent diabetes and I was put on Glic- from that initial information I found that around 40/45g carbs a meal worked well with my meds - nowadays that is closer to my total daily tolerance. I dont see insulin or any other medication as a sign of failure rather as a tool to be worked with - taking the useful bits and ditching the rest - I would try and look at any course offered in the same way [/QUOTE]
