[QUOTE="MarkMunday, post: 2275623, member: 525839"] GPs are generally not able to help much with control. For me the first 15 years of having T1 was easy, probably because I was still making some of my own insulin. Control then became increasingly difficult, and the problem crept up on me. GPs were never helpful and when HBA1c got up to 8% I realised that I would have to take charge. I[I] [/I] basically had to figure it all out for myself and since then have been telling the GP what needs to be prescribed. You may have to do the same thing. Start with testing your basal and doing what it takes to get good cover over The 24 hour cycle. After doing that, dealing with bolusing is much easier. I have switched to ketogenic eating, which removes most of the bolusing requirement, making staying good control really easy. [/QUOTE]
