[QUOTE="ann34+, post: 938778, member: 94348"] interested that you have had diabetes a similar length of time to me , are insulin sensitive - i use about 18 or 19 iu TDD, and older and no complications, and also being told to raise your glucose levels. I have been told not to go below 7% HbA1c, and when i went higher than that all were pleased - now 7.3%, Problem i find is that doctors are so pushed for time it is not easy for them to discuss anything in detail - i am seriously thinking of having one private appointment just to find out more advice. it may be that so little is clear from the present research, that advice is not forthcoming. I am due my DEXA in a short while and also have been prescribed D3, though when i asked if this would build my bones i was told it was unlikely but might help prevent worse. Maybe you will be able to find out more about how long they want your blood sugars higher , and how high etc when you have a consultation to discuss your DEXA results? P.S. Maybe you can post if your DEXA results when you get them have improved at all, as i have only recently started D3 and would be interested to know if it might slow bone problems? A very high dose was suggested for me, but i asked my GP for lower than that , Thanks, Ann Just looked at your post again and wondered if you had the DEXA which found the hip problem. because your doctor routinely offers DEXA to Type one women who are older? ....i had never been offered one and was shocked when i broke my hip as i had been quite active and a hip break was not on the horizon at all.
