[QUOTE="Rach79, post: 43974, member: 12270"] Hi there. I wasn't advised about diet by a consultant or anyone (I haven't seen the dietician in around 2 years and he wasn't that good when I saw him anyhow). There was a dietician there a few years ago who was brilliant but unfortunately she retired (and she used to keep everything shipshape too). All I have had is the standard eye / weight tests etc. but no talks about how I'm coping, what I'm eating and when I last tried to talk about it the doctor was like a zombie complaining how tired he was. When I tried to voice my opinions about how I felt, the nurse wanted to chat to her mate and so left me to do just that. At some stage I was just advised a different insulin but no leaflets or detailed information about how it works - apart from supposedly stopping night hypos which hasn't worked and throwing some random number of units that I should take which should possibly do the trick. Of course I wrote a complaint because on top of that I thought the doctor was going to fall asleep on me and kept getting information wrong as they always do with regards to what insulin I'm on amongst other things. I've tried, low carb, upping and lowering insulin countless times and read all the information about my insulin on the internet or got it through this forum. Although I didn't know the Novarapid wasn't the fastest insulin as one of my problems was getting my BG's down after meals and I announced once I wanted flexibility so they shoved me on the Novarapid and off I went and the last I heard from them was when they had reports of me nearly dying in an ambulance. The low GI diet has been my own personal choice - as I make the choices and fight like hell until I'm worn out to get them.. that's my life at the mo but thanks for pointing out about the other insulins as I might write to healh services explaining that I've been informed about them and asking who could provide the information about what type is best for me. If not I'll be writing to the local papers to tell them what a shambles the whole health system is on the rock here. I hate it so much .... ok another rant but I need to get this all out somehow so here is the best place I guess :-) Rach [/QUOTE]
