[QUOTE="Pinkerbell, post: 551688, member: 64730"] I am very lucky in some respects, I have access to as many test strips as my bruised pinkies can handle, but they are still reluctant to start on insulin because of a reasonably good A1c and occasional minor lows through the day. I do worry what effect the pancreas stimulating drugs are having on my beta cells and also whether the morning and evening highs are causing damage. I feel stuck in a position where I'm almost wishing for it to progress so I can start on insulin and get it under proper control, but another part of me is terrified of this prospect. I have tried eating to the meter, but unfortunately my bg levels seem to be wildly unpredictable (A meal that results in a postprandial level of 7 on one day can trigger an 18.9 on a different day) I just want to be able to understand a little better what is going on, or at the very least, that my health care providers give me the confidence that they have some idea!
