[QUOTE="XxTinkerxx, post: 2330647, member: 114227"] I started putting on weight when they first put me on Insulatard 18 months ago, and I was low carbing then. Since this last "drama" in September when they put me on Novorapid and Lantus I have put on over half a stone in 6 weeks. This doesn't seem right to me at all. Maybe I should just stop everything. Stop eating, stop the insulin and just live on water. Sorry, I am in a vile mood. I eventually received a call from the hospital late today after I sent them a strongly worded email. Within 20 mins of sending it I received a call, where the nurse told me she was responding to my email as it was "concerning"and that she had called and left a message on Monday. I pointed out to her that there were no missed calls on my phone and I do not use voice mail. She was adamant she called. I told her she hadn't. And if she had called, why did she not respond to my daily calls to her? She's a liar. After emailing my Dr and sending me a copy of the paperwork that states I was type 1, she told me on the phone I may not be as my blood test results indicted I was producing some insulin, so I may not get the libre. This was after me having to ask her what were the results of my blood test, and she asked me what test I went for... [emoji2959]. I told her that she made me go for two sets of blood tests that she said would tske weeks to come back, and those are the results I want to know. She said my c-peptide was 238...(which made zero sense when I googled it) and told me she was not good on diagnostics and I should discuss it with the consultant at my appointment in the middle of December. An appointment I know zilch about. I can't even be ***** to go into all the detail right now as every time I think about it, it winds me up.[emoji2959][emoji2959][emoji2959][emoji2959] I have emailed the Dr Surgery and asked for access to my records.
