[QUOTE="Karl Fenn, post: 334002, member: 53352"] your situation is not uncommon, I know a lot of people with diabetes, the figures you quote are similar to many on medication, I would not panic at the moment, many people go on about diets carbs ect, but the real way to reduce levels is to eat less, you could try this, at every meal remove one third from the plate, you should get a result, the big problem with insulin is it can make you fat, which in turn can lead to less exercise because of weight increase, hence more insulin a vicious circle for sum, but in saying that I have met diabetics who are very thin and they also have the same problem as you, you could ask for a change of meication to something like byetta this works well, and is not insulin, the other symptons you describe could be due to another medical condition, do you have blood pressure problems, do you drink, I would ask for a further medical check, and a revision of your medication, you are allowed to try all types of insulin on the market, the one you are taking may be the wrong one for you,ask if you can try a different type, or byetta, in the short term I would not panic, your readings are certainly not the highest I have seen, many people on diet have similar readings, some as high as 17 to 20 at times, I would ask for a new opinion and make the hosptal aware you know your rights of treatment choices.
