Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bittern" data-source="post: 2339214" data-attributes="member: 315804"><p>I suggest you go see your hospital team and discuss the reason for insulin and the proposed change, don't forget to include the effect on you that they expect from the change in medication. You then have the information, possibly with further research, that you need. Also bear in mind that the NICE recommended level of Hb1ac varies in steps as you age. The younger you are the lower the Hba1c. You may have passed one of those trigger points. I am having a warm discussion with my GP because he wants me to run higher than I want to because of these guidelines. I suspect it is to do with life expectancy, the length of time for side effects to increase and perceived competence of the patient, which seems to be age related within NICE, and of course money. Good luck.</p></blockquote><p></p>
