[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2044444, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=505358]@keithd01[/USER], Not sure if you are diagnosed as Type 1, 2 or 3 although if sounds loke you have been on insulin, presumably Mixtard 30 ( ? twice daily), for 5 years. I would have almost given my arm and leg to have achieved HBA1Cs of 6.3% !! I presume it is your new GP or nurse reading you the riot act about your HBA1C and demanding you change whatever has allowed to achieve these magnificant results. Whilst I cannot give you medical advice or opinion, you are entitled to a second opinion and usually someone more experienced in diabetes management such as a diabetes specialist is what most persons seem to do in theses circumstances. In Australia we also have a saying: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. It maybe that applies to you !! The last time someone asked me to fix my insulin doses and not vary them was when i was first diagnosed 52 years ago and i have not heard that it has come back in fashion ever since!! But as i now catch up with what [USER=87354]@WuTwo[/USER] has written i am guessing that you have been able to rweak your Mixtard 30 in such a way as to not greatly upset the other insulin effect in the mix. If my experience is any guide at all, it may or may not for you but over more years ( i think perhaps it was 6 or so I had to change my insulin combination to allow more ability to vary both short and long acting insulin. So at some point in the future Mixtard may not work as well as now, but be reassured that there are plenty of options, just not likely to be the Mix insulins for continued great control. I shall leave it to you to decide who to see and how - as you will be far more au fait with NHS than a mere Aussie ! As regards this thread, i shall answer [USER=452807]@lucas12[/USER] in a post below as best i can regards so-called low HBA1C results in diabetics. Best Wishes, welcome and great work !!:):):) [/QUOTE]
