I've not seen him since being diagnosed except when I was in hospital the other week, just the DN who is from a different hospital). The DN does seem good; e.g. she did ring be back this morning after all. I think it must be the way I'm expressing myself (or not expressing myself). I'll insist on counting carbs because, as said in previous message, I do feel like I'm doing things backwards right now: looking at my current BSL, looking at previous graphs to see how many mmol/L a certain amount of food "x" increases my BSL or counteracts/covers the insulin and then adding or subtracting that to my meal. That's not a normal way to eat and it doesn't work well, for me anyway, maybe because the same amount of the same food seems to affect by BSL depending on the time of the day! For example, if I have milk with breakfast my BSL will shoot above 11. If I have a glass of milk at, say, 2 PM my graph basically stays flat (and at 2PM that'd be without bolus although lunchtime dose, which is lower than breakfast dose, would probably not be worn off yet). So that strategy doesn't necessarily work for me</p></blockquote><p></p>
