[QUOTE="Skippy1, post: 2457833, member: 350274"] [FONT=Arial]I was diagnosed in 2005 with an HbA1c of around 6/42% (average of 7 on my meter). Using the NHS Eatwell plate/eat plenty of brown carbs, plenty of fruit, take metformin, gliclazide, injectables advice this rose to around 9/75%, 11 on my metre by the end of 2011. Then in 2012 I found this forum, ate around 50 carbs/day, fasted some days and got the numbers back to single figures. It was going ok, then CKD, heart failure and cancer hit. Since May I've not been below 20, often recording high 20s and Hi - same lc woe, maybe less food, more fasts. For the past few weeks I've been increasing the glic from 1/day to 8/day with no effect. C-peptide result was 2225 in 2017, over 5000 last week. Endo Consultant / DSN have said they have nothing more to offer, it's up to me to let them know when I'm ready to start injecting insulin. Any last minute suggestions before I walk the walk? Thanks, Suzanne [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
