[QUOTE="ajbod, post: 2431651, member: 544995"] My leg is much improved now but still some pain and swelling if stood or sat upright for too long. Dressing changed as falling off, i think too much pressure from swelling. 2 short sections not healing as well as rest, hope this improves soon, need to get back to work self employed so nothing coming in. Just had a telephone call with DN hoping to get a meter and strips out of them as i can't really afford to self fund. Shot down straight away as hba1c result back from last week 36. Great news but my version of keto she said herself is unsustainable, i knew that and need to increase carbs, but without testing i won't know what carbs or quantities work for me. Just stonewalled no insulin no meter. Had 2 instances last week, first one leg aching so much after cooking bacon said stuff it and had a bacon sandwich. Comatose in chair for an hour? surely 36g of carbs shouldn't do that. next day had 1 slice fried with bacon and egg, comatose for 3 hours? Not happened since but thought perhaps BG high in the morning but cannot tell with no test available, DN couldn't care less said impossible!. I'm seriously thinking now as far as my legs are concerned i'll see them but stuff the diabetes advice i'm better on my own. [/QUOTE]
