[QUOTE="jopar, post: 112853, member: 11712"] You do need to go back to your GP so you can get back into the diabetic clinic ASP.. You need as much help and guidence you can so that you can tackle your hypo fear as this does need to be seriously addressed, until your are more comfortable about how you can maintain good control while still avoiding hypo's actually controlling your diabetes is going to be extremely difficult I see that you are still on 2 injections a day, I would ask to go onto the basal/bolus (carb counting) regime it does mean increasing injections, but well worth it for the better control and more flexiability it gives.. You will find that because you have a more flexiable control over your diabetes, matching insulin dose to your foods (along side ofther factors) this will give you the empowerment to help tackle your hypo phobia Don't forget to ask about going on a carb counting course very helpful indeed.. Even though it's disariable to get your BG's back to near normal as possible, you are likely to find your diabetic clinic will want you to do this over a period of time, and not aim at getting you there within days or a week.. There are several reasons for this.. Your body has got used to functioning at higher levels, to drop these too quick will cause the body to go into a phamtom hypo, screaming that you are when you'll not, not very nice if you have a hypo phobia... Lower your levels too quick can effect the eyes, any damge that you've got could get worse before they stablise, so you need to have your eyes checked to find out what is what with them... Also the body is more resistent to insulin at higher levels, requiring more insulin at these levels to make any effect on them, so taking your level down at a slower pace it is easier to match insulin needs at any one point.. As to what the diabetic clinic is going to say, you be surprised, as they may ask what you've been doing in the past with your control but that is so they can see what and where they need to go with helping you, they will not use it to judge you as a diabetic or even a person. In fact they will be reliefed that you are asking them for help, you asking for there help makes ther life a lot easier as it's dam slight easier to help some-one who wants it rather than some-one who turns up to clinic who isn't interested in being helped!
