Thanks The nurse that told me to not do a lot of bloodtests has now left luckily. I've seen a different diabetes specialist every year since I was 18 and still haven't found one that will help me.
I started going high a lot but everytime I reduced my insulin I would go really low. I had page after page of high bloodtests and when I showed them to the diabetes nurse she said that because my hba1c (i hate the hba1c) was good she 'wasn't prepared to change my insulin'. I started to find that because my hba1c was good that was all that mattered, even though I had proof that my bloodsugars were seriously out of control. After I got the same response from a few people I refused to have the hba1c done so they refused to see me. I'm now seeing a new diabetes team who are willing to help me change my insulin but I've started having concentration problems. I feel like I need some time out to adjust to a new insulin regime but I'm looking for a job and can't afford not to
I have 2 injections a day. I have weetabix for breakfast, an apple as a snack, sandwiches for lunch, a cereal bar for another snack, jacket potato, pasta, rice or something similar homemade for dinner and then toast before I go to bed. My blood sugars are around 13 during the day and before bed. I avoid stress as much as possible and avoid any rushing round so everything I do is calm and slow. But I still keep going low at night
