[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2478959, member: 25851"] BG dropped to 9.4 by 2 am, when I got up but by 7 am had risen again to 14.9. Haven't done anything about it yet but will probably take another 60u of my bolus dose and have a zero carb breakfast to see if that will help - well <0.5 g carbs in my fruit tea. Then, at 11 am I have a phone call booked with the diabetes nurse. Somehow I don't find these long distance consultations very helpful. I'm pretty sure that things get missed out and, in any case, how can they measure my Hba1c without taking a blood test? Pretty sure mine is way higher than it was before, but I don't know. I finally found a private podiatrist to check my feet - our local NHS has stopped providing any service at all and don't even answer the phone these days. It is, apparently, Neil's responsibility to look after my feet (I can't bend far enough to reach them) but he has so many health issues these days that I don't ask him - he didn't make a very good job of it in the past anyway. No 2 son is willing to help, but he is rather too enthusiastic and I think I might end up with more trouble than assistance. The one private podiatrist that I knew of had so many clients that he couldn't take on any more but now I have found the son of the old chiropodist who used to practice in Stornoway and will be seeing him next Tuesday. It's quite a job for him to take on because my foot care has been so bad these last 2 or more years. [/QUOTE]
