[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 1791686, member: 196960"] Poor nurse. If she can find them. My dn would try that rubbish on me. She looks after type2s and type1s. Ive never been advised to correct but I do. Otherwise I'd end up possible facing ketoacidosis. My own insulin cannot work as well under my skin (insulin pathway struggles due to body fat). Im hugely insulin resistant. Now. The only way my dn would advise against corrections for me is because the more insulin I inject the more fat cells are made and I do not burn off my calories. (Cannot walk, often) I very rarely use my calories so everyday I make fat cells. In the past this hasn't been an issue due to exercise and being hugely active. Maybe your dn is trying to prevent insulin resistance for you and unnecessary hypo treatments. Listen to your nurse but next appointment ask her what she ment and tell her you understand ketoacidosis risk as untreated high bgs and no insulin for your body to work with. Maybe she will advise an appropriate education course. We often have to keep our dns right as they are so over worked these days. I'm thinking she confused it with insulin resistance. Poor nurse.
