when i get my a1c its within where the drs here want it
its been under 7
but
my other numbers arent near that good
so when i ask the drs about increasing the insulin
they say leave it where it is
and they dont say why
i dont understand this way of thinking
i rarely get hypos
the other day i got to a 4 after a long long time
so nothing near a hypo level
isnt the insulin to be used to help us improve things?
how can i convince them i may need to increase the insulin?
so the everyday numbers are better?
(i dont have the option of getting a different dr)
i really feel as though im being limited in making things better
(its not insurance issues)

this is the first time drs have tried to control my doses
nearly from the start i adjusted them
i dont know how it happened that now someone else
is trying to control them
i dont really mind but when it comes to being told
that i cant use the tools to make things better
then im reluctant to do it their way
maybe i just have to take back the control?
after all its my feet that get chopped off not theirs

what would other people do?
