All I really know is that he wasn't talking about insulin. Having low-ish carbed for a while now, my numbers are coming down, but are not ideal, and I now really need to start preparing myself for what may happen next. I think I've got my head round the idea that changing the meds is not a punishment, just the next step in trying to find a treatment plan that suits me and my diabetes, and I have some books which cover the various types of medication which I can look at, and obviously the internet, but was hoping that there may be people on here who could give me some advice/insights about what may happen etcVicky</blockquote>
