[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 546961, member: 21149"] Be aware that both your morning fasting levels and your 2 hour after meal readings need to be taken account of when considering insulin (or just more tablets). My fasting was typically below 10 but my post meal readings were going into the 20s despite low-carbing and three level tablets. Hence the need for me to go onto insulin with an HBa1C that shot up to 8.3%. The NICE Diabetes Pathways doc gives excellent guidance on this (Google it). If your HBa1C goes over 7.5% then your medication does need to be increased. BTW do think about whether you want the statins or not. They have nothing to do with diabetes and the recommendation is that they should be given to those with a high risk of cardio problems. [/QUOTE]
