[QUOTE="Jenny15, post: 1801835, member: 196992"] Well, that was a busy day for me. A&E x 1 Medical centre x 2 Laboratory x 1 Pharmacy x 3 And I don't normally go out much because of my health issues, and I had zero sleep last night. My suspected UTI was confirmed and I started on antibiotics, which are helping. I wish I had accepted the GP's offer of ABs to have on hand for the next UTI. For some reason I assumed (a) I might not get another one and (b) I could obtain the ABs in an orderly fashion during daytime. Oh well, another lesson in being better prepared and keeping on top of things. I truly am just relieved to be getting better. Some of the clinic/pharmacy visits today were to check in with my DN about diabetes management. We are now completely on the same page and I am starting to really appreciate her knowledge and also her compassion. After discussing the main points of the visit she paused to acknowledge what a big deal all this is for me and told me I am doing really well. I appreciated that and added that there can be a real grief about having T2 (or any type), and also guilt and self loathing. Then she reminded me that with my strong family history she doesn't buy into the blame game. She's a very good nurse, the way they used to be. Older generation, which I like. She understood my Lantus issues and will do everything she can to get me the right insulin, whatever it takes. She will call the hospital dept for info. Once I've shown her my 3 day BG monitoring chart she will be able to give me Novomix 30 (IIRC). It was the next best option that was suggested by her, and by me, separately. So that's encouraging.
