Had lucentis injections.both eyes on Monday. Have posted before that this is usually uncomfortable ,but bearable. Not this time, have had 50+ jabs but this week one of the worst. All docs seem to have different techniques ? . I really objects to being told ,that you shouldn't be feeling any pain by so meone who is sticking needles in your eye. If they had put anaesthetic in my eye instead of my ear it might have been less painful. Following day diabetic review, Hba1c 8 not great I know but slightly lower than 6 months ago, I explained that my levels to achieve this are anything between 3 and 15 to achieve this. He said quote, because I had a lot of readings under 4, that studies had proved I would almost certainly get dementia or altzeimers. He went on to say we should go back to basics 1 unit insulin to 100ml carbs halfing my dose not to worry if I spiked at 16 or more and not to test bloods between meals,no correction dose till next meal. I consider my meter my lifeline. Have tried+ it for a few days with readings in the 20+ after 35 year the most confused and lowest ive ever felt. Am going back to my regime and stuff email. I was also told at 74 kgs despite losing 2kgs at 5 ft 6 jus I am pre obese talk about kicking someone when they are down. The nurse who said this was at least0kgs overweight. Makes me won't to give up on the medical profession.
