[QUOTE="satindoll, post: 2090460, member: 121584"] Hi and welcome to the "Don't fit in the square hole" club........like you I am a "sub t2", I'm what is classed as a "Non Producer" in that I don't produce any of my own insulin and am clear on the c-peptide and GAD antibodies tests....... I am not insulin resistant and I am insulin sensitive so I only need small doses. It could be you are in a similar position, I cannot give you any advice on dosages as my regime will be different to yours but it will get easier once you and your consultant get to grips with the amounts of insulin you need........ it may take a few months till you and he are happy you can manage on your own but don't loose heart There is one thing I can advise you on though test , test , test and test again let your meter become your best friend and the best tool you have in you arsenal.......it will guide you through your meal dosages if you test just before first bite and 2hrs after, it will tell you if you've taken enough insulin or whether you need to cut out a potato from that meal Your eyesight should improve as your numbers steady it may even be better than before........I know how frustrating it can be but hang on in there.
