[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 1737606, member: 372207"] I've never been on fixed doses. I was diagnosed with 'diabetes' end of november 2017, bought a meter and read the internet before having my first date with the nurse at my GP, armed with a weeks'worth of readings, was put on gliclazide (after I told the nurse at the GP they coudn't give me metformin according to the leaflet), started to tell my nurse gliclazide wasn't doing enough according to my meter by christmas, put on basal insulin in january and started nagging her about bolus right away. Got a date with her for the bolus insulin on which she informed me she was going on holiday for two weeks and that she rather would start MDI after she got back. I told her I didn't want to wait while having high sugars and got her to prescribe me novorapid after promising I would be very careful not to shoot myself in a bad hypo right away. Saw her again about three weeks after that and presented her with nice numbers on my meter. As long as I keep doing that she'll let me do anything I want, like keep my HBA1C under 40, telling her I want Tresiba and Fiasp, testing a lot, injecting an average of about 8 times a day and treat a mild hypo with a beer when it's after five PM. These are all things she has learned that aren't right. She doesn't know too much about diabetes, but she's very open minded and interested, and she trusts me. I still don't carb-count, seems very complicated to me, but I'm fine with insulin-guessing and giving myself some slack with complicated meals. [/QUOTE]
