[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2760983, member: 25851"] Just back from seeing the diabetes nurse. I can hardly believe it. My HBa1c is 41! "You are in remission" says the nurse. But I'm not. I am dependent on insulin so I can't be. Actually she agreed that. She also said she will look into other types of diabetes and see if there are any hints as to my very silly T2, She says there is another test that can be done, but they don't offer it, so she won't be pursuing that idea. She's also going to ask the GP about the connection between diabetes and this mitochondrial thingy. About dosing, she reckons my basal dose is a bit high but I seem to have got the idea of bolus dosing all by myself although it's not based on any system that I know of (one unit of Humalog for every point over 10 plus 10 if I am eating a low carb meal and 15 or more if there's nothing but high carb available - doesn't happen often). She also wants me to reduce Metform to one tablet a day. All in all, it went better than I expected. [/QUOTE]
