[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 2282880, member: 68789"] Good morning [USER=505061]@Diabeticger[/USER], we’re you offered a telephone consultation for the annual appointment that you missed? We’re you assigned a DSN (Diabetes Specialist Nurse) at your surgery? If you’ve a DSN then maybe you could ask for a telephone appointment with them, but if you’ve not been assigned one then you maybe could ring your surgery and request that you’re assigned to one for the area you live in. We can’t tell you when you’ll begin to adjust the insulin to the food you eat but it sounds as though you’re keeping a note of your blood sugars which is a vital part of knowing your own needs. If you keep a record of your blood sugars on waking, before meals, two or three hours after meals and before you sleep, and note the amount of carb in each meal you eat then it will help the nurse or consultant who sets you on the dose for injecting for what you eat. Maybe you’re doing this already? There are some texts that might help you. Some of us use Carbs and Cals (maybe you’ve already got it) and a set of scales that weighs in grams so we can calculate the amount of carb in what we eat. There are a few other texts that do this, and the internet is a good source of carbs in foods info too, as are the labels on some shop bought products. Hope this helps. You seems to have your blood sugars in a good range - well done! [/QUOTE]
