[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 693137, member: 12578"] Interesting what a couple of you have said about appetite. I've mentioned before when people have suggested that insulin makes you hungry that this was the complete opposite with me. Apart from one or two hypos I've not really felt hunger since I started using insulin . I did have background retinopathy show up a couple of years after diagnosis. I got my levels down very quickly At t one point my HbA1c was as low as 4.9% I think that this fast reduction was the cause.(definitely not recommending a level as low as this either. My hypo awareness was reduced, kicking in at lower and lower levels. I thought I managed fine at very low levels but it really wasn't sensible) My ophthalmologist has insisted on me having retinopathy checks using fluorescein dye each year because of it for the last 7 or so years. Just this year he decided it was no longer necessary and I only needed the normal check. [/QUOTE]
