[QUOTE="Tophat1900, post: 2248129, member: 362123"] A bit young? A bit old? Absolute rubbish, they clearly imo don't really know what to do. Using age as a guide to type is poor practice imo. Hopefully they get your results back soon so you can get on with life. We cannot give medical advice such what you asking in regards to lantus, but while you wait for results, you will need to monitor your levels if you are decreasing carbs. That's obvious, but sometimes people don't and bad hypos are no fun at all. If you are going to go the low carb route, then make it clear to them you are. It is important they know for many reasons. If they don't like it, then that's their problem. What you eat is up to you, not someone else and cannot be dictated to you and don't be put off by comments from DN's or HCP's who sometimes can be very pushy and anti low carb. Hopefully you get a supportive DN, after all, that is what they are there for....to support you. And there is a LOT of value when you get a supportive one. I hope you get your results soon. [/QUOTE]
