[QUOTE="martinbuchan, post: 1051, member: 718"] Patti - saw my diabetologist today. wants me to carb count once i have settled down. He says DAFNE is the accepted, proven course. He also said most patients put on weight after as they take bigger portions as they get more insulin confident. I don't need to put on any more weight and already cheat with dosing for bigger than necessary meals. I think I am a MODY (implications for my family as it had s very serious mode of inheritance for my children). There is an underlying trend for diabetics and medical staff to see Type 1 as pure victims od a disease and Type 2 as a lifestyle choice (even tho it has a bigger genetic predisposition). Hence your request for DAFNE was turned down for being type 2 although you are an insulin user. At the moment my BS is 3.6 and for the fourth evening running I feel hypo. I have an almost pregnancy type craving for oranges this week. Already on 1000mg Vit C tabs every day. (diabetics are often low in vit c levels). I have GP and dietician friends socially who know sod all about the new type synthetic insulins. Primary care settings are not sufficient IMHO for complicated diabetics. Keep at them Patti but in the nicest way possible. Marty B [/QUOTE]
