[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2383534, member: 53162"] Hello and welcome to the forum. I am shocked... not at you, but your GP, their use of language is appalling. Please get referred to a specialist team, they are trained not to use this type of blame language when managing patients with diabetes. You had, in all your 34 years one hypo incident requiring medical assistance - the last thing you needed to hear is someone blaming you for mis managing your diabetes. How about they take your condition and try and manage it as well as you. Your HbA1c is fine, as long as your hypo awareness is retained there should not be an issue. It is a gauge for the NHS to track you on. Time in range is the best way to really focus on control to see what’s going on, getting a referral will mean your team can help you monitor this. In regards to instability try and look for patterns so ideally eating same foods for a few days running and see if you can spot trends, once you get referred you may well get the opportunity to try tresiba instead which is a longer lasting basal and more stable than lantus in its profile, I found this basal much better to manage vs lantus. Please also get back to running, it’s a great mood booster and it helps improve control too, please remember that you should not be blamed or told you are mis managing, your team should fully support you and pointing fingers will never achieve results. Best wishes and let us know how you get on ? [/QUOTE]
