[QUOTE="deszcznocity, post: 2282442, member: 520445"] Hello everyone, I am following Dr Bernstein's protocol in the sense I use Tresiba and eat low/no carb for 9 months now. At my diagnosis in Sept 2019 my A1c was 92, after 4 months thanks to Dr B approach was down to 42, last month's A1c was 34. My problem is my consultant is hesitant to prescribe me Actrapid or Humulin S. I have achieved big drop even though I do not have R insulin and using Humalog, but it is very inconvenient to inject 1 or 2 units insulin multiple times a day, not mentioning inconsistency of the pen because of the small doses. I feel like I am hitting a brick wall. Latest discussion was that the consultant was worried on me having too many hypos. I was lost for words. They are worried about me going hypo but not worried me getting complications from too high bg levels? This is just pure nonsense. Can anyone share their experiences and strategies to deal with NHS consultants to get regular insulin? [/QUOTE]
