[QUOTE="MsClarita, post: 2429231, member: 545130"] Thank you for such a swift and thoughtful reply, [USER=53162]@Juicyj[/USER]. My fasting levels are around the 8-9 level, then always rise to about 9-11 before breakfast, which I typically have about two hours after waking up. This is the one that most concerns me, when I spoke to the consultant last week she was reluctant to increase my lantus in case I was having hypos in the night. But I've been doing a few 3am pricks, and I'm nowhere near - around 7. When I check before lunch, dinner and bed I can be anywhere between about 5.5 and 9. Pre-lunch today I was 7.2. I'm typically at the lower level later in the day. I cut my carbs right down for a few weeks, which brought the numbers down to 5 - 6 pre meals and bed, but my energy was on the floor so I've had to go back up again. But when I say up, I'm not eating as I was pre-diagnosis, carbs are sitting around 70g/day now. I've just had to change diabetes nurse, due to a long story. Do you think they'd be able to speed up the transition to correction doses / carb counting if I ask? My experience with the team has been terrible so far. [/QUOTE]
