No one will check me. The consultant I've seen for years left and there's now like a stand in non-permanent one who didn't even seem to know what MODY was and said it was basically pointless checking as I was clearly type 1 based on the fact I was diagnosed in adolescence.
I think it's all the same to the NHS and they don't want to spend money on tests they don't think are necessary. I could pay privately but I don't know how I'd go about it.
I was told only to correct at meals, because I was going hypo after correcting between meals.I don't drink and I don't exercise much really apart from walking and a bit of swimming but nothing too strenuous.
I am more sensitive to insulin at some points of the month than others, that is true.
I have been in the position more than once of correcting a sugar of around 12/13mmol with 0.3u and an hour later been around 3mmol and still dropping and it is terrifying. I assume my basals are ok because if I don't eat anything I'm fine - my blood sugars sit around 5-7mmol.

Her answer was a DAFNE course but it's not that I don't know how to carb count and dose adjust - it's that the results are so wildly different day to day.
