[QUOTE="Shaun74, post: 374754, member: 46502"] Hi, Diagnosed Type I in Dec-11 and HbA1c was 16.8, Dec-12 it was down to 12.0. Was told to "self manage" my insulin until a DAFNE place become available, but am still having real issues with the link between Carbs and Insulin and as you can imagine, my blood sugars are measured bewteen 3 & 32 mmol/L on a daily basis (average of 6 - 25). Originally Novorapid was precribed with Levemir, but I found that my sugars constantly increased after food for about 3 hours, then the Insulin kicked in and my levels would crash and I would have a hypo. Extremely obvious when this happens thankfully, so I have 10 minutes or so to fix levels. I have recently been put on Apidra, but do not see any increase in the fast acting insulin kicking in. I have the long awaited DAFNE course from 13 May and wondered whether this would give me the info I need to reduce my HbA1c during the next 3-6 months. I am very keen to see this level reduce, even though Diet is good & I exercise 2-3 times a week with a PT. Are there other faster acting insulins that might mean my Post food 2 hr BG test is a little more consistent and I avoid the spikes?? Thanks one and all. Shaun Also on Metformin (500g x2) and Simvastatin (40mg x1) although the latter makes my legs ache awfully...... [/QUOTE]
