[QUOTE="Hertfordshiremum, post: 2447252, member: 507802"] Hi I was diagnosed 3.5 years ago, the help was a disaster and I ended up changing GP and eventually the local hospital reported them for lack of care. Long story short I ended up hospitalised with DKA, it could have been avoided. Different areas sound like they follow different procedures so I would give the GP a call and ask who you can call prior to your phone appointment. In the meantime a walk after dinner or resistance band exercises might help curb any rise later on in the evening. Have you considered a Libre? I think you can get one on free trial from Abbots, might be useful to see how you are reacting to different food and exercise, hot/cold weather, illness. All things that effect your blood sugars as a type 1. Hang in there, you will get used to it all. Hope your phone appointment is sooner rather than later. [/QUOTE]
