[QUOTE="Bertyboy, post: 1737108, member: 453093"] I'm keen to know when people were first tested and trained for carb counting. At my diagnosis in November, I was given some advice on how and when to test and inject. I was prescribed a fixed split basal and bolus doses and sent on my merry way. The same nurse at the hospital saw me again in December and said to carry on as I was. Then at the end of December, I saw a dietician who concluded I didn't eat **** anyway and to carry on as I was. Then I saw a consultant at the end of Jan who said my A1C had come down from 152 to 40, that everything was great and to carry on as I was. Then I saw my own GP a few weeks later, mostly just to introduce myself to her. She used me to train a student how to take bloods and give a flu jab, and told me to carry on as I was. Then I was called into my surgery for my "annual review" with the DSN there (and an appointment a week earlier to have more bloods done). She at least tested my feet and sorted out my prescriptions so that they were on repeat rather than acute. I also have an appointment at the eye hospital later in the year. But at what point would I expect to learn how to adjust doses and who instigates that? [/QUOTE]
