Hi all,
Just a bit of advice if you don't mind please. My insulin requirements have been steadily increasing over the past few months. I realise I am still on a low dose (10 units levemir split am/pm and 1-2 units of novarapid to cover meals) but I eat a very low carb diet and exercise everyday. I'm noticing many more 10+ glucose readings, even with the extra insulin. I would say a few months ago I was barely on any insulin at all.
So, my question is around arranging an appointment back at the hospital. I don't want to 'waste their time' by freaking out over readings and an increase in insulin requirements that is fairly minimal, but I feel as though I'm heading toward uncharted territory for me. I've had a great honeymoon (diagnosed July 2018) that has meant that if I eat low carb I haven't needed insulin to cover meals. Now this isn't working so well do I need to go get some offical carb counting training etc...?
Any experiences you guys have had would be amazing
Best wishes,
Tom
