to answer some questions: I started off on 8U TDD (including Regular). Then i went through the honeymoon phase (no insulin), then I went back on insulin for the rest of my life, in 1979. I can't see why you can't take a small amount of Lantus to slightly reduce your fastings, Lili. |
Thanks, spike. I totally agree with you, but I guess the GP doesn't. Frankly, I think it's probably because he's a GP and not a specialist.

That is very encouraging.

I agree with that also, but I'm not sure I will be able to get another one before I see the endo in one month. Also, I think there is a better chance of the endo agreeing with me than another GP.
Anyway, I've decided to give up trying to account for basal through other methods. Maybe a week of much higher numbers will change the GP's mind. One can hope it's worth it.
