[QUOTE="ert, post: 2282988, member: 504712"] Mark Munday is in NZ and not in the UK, so it isn't a given. The NHS, as it's free, has more of a gatekeeping system. 5.3% - these are normal blood sugars. Even Bernstein supports that he hasn't seen complications in his patients at 5.3%. It's like you believe changing insulin will mean your insulin will work like a normal person's insulin. There's still variability in every injected insulin system. The insulin will still have a fixed curve plus there will be the same other variables, like insulin age, IR, injection sites, temperature, exercise, stress, meat fat content etc, etc, You will still have no homeostasis, like a normal person at 3.9 mmol/L and below 3.5 damages your brain, so for a GP, I imagine, the risks of even lower BS than what you have will outweigh any benefits. What is important is that you can see and understand the other side of the argument before you see your GP. PS. There's a mistake in the unreferenced graph you sent through. The Rapid insulin curve ends at 5 hours not 9. There no units on the y-axis. It's better to take something correct along to your GP like: [URL='https://www.diabetes.org.uk/resources-s3/2017-10/University%2520Hospitals%2520of%2520Leicester%2520-%2520Insulin%2520Profiles.pdf?']https://www.diabetes.org.uk/resources-s3/2017-10/University%20Hospitals%20of%20Leicester%20-%20Insulin%20Profiles.pdf?[/URL] [/QUOTE]
