[QUOTE="Glucobabu, post: 1737709, member: 221251"] I was diagnosed Type 1 in 1975 and put on fixed dose of a mixture of soluble (fast acting) and cloudy (slow acting) insulin twice a day. The dose was very rarely altered based on urine test results (there were no meters then). Then HbA1c came along so the dose was adjusted possibly every 6 months. Numerous new improved insulins came along some with terrible results. Monotard by Novo in particular was disastrous for me. Even with access to meters and test strips there was no talk of dose adjustments at all. Oh no, that would be too dangerous for a layperson like you! Finally I was offered Dafne course in 2013 and it proved to be an eye opener. It gave me so much more confidence and skill to adjust my own dose to what I eat and when. I often inject 6-7 times in a day and feel so much better for it. I feel we are finally living in a very enlightened world. The next step would be to provide CGM to every diabetic who needs it.
