Thanks Heather,
Yes i do sound like a mess the funny thing is i don't even look it. That's what they mean when they say diabetes is a creepy illness. I'll look for this Croatian member on here, there's even a chance we take same kind of insulin. Yes our doctors do like to tell they're up to date with everything but there was only one our doctor present at a recent multinational congress about Lantus in Europe and i was only told about Lantus earlier this year when it turned out they had Lantus for 2 years at least and apparently it's been present in the states for much longer than that. Unfortunately although i've been a patient with the Croatian diabetes institute for several years i haven't seen much willing cooperation between medical teams and patients. I don't see how this can be when close cooperation is what is essential in this.
Anyway to get off this rant, my HbA1c was measured to be 8,54 2 months ago. I test approximately 6 times a day since i've been on Lantus, and i've tested at least 4 times a day before that, even though i must admit there was a looooong period years back when i wouldn't test at all, only use urine strips. Which is appaling to me looking back. I guess hindsight is a great teacher in life.
I just got Ascensia Contour a month ago, had Esprit before that.
I am going to persevere with Lantus, i'm aware that it is going to take a lot of patience to get through it now.
Thanks for the support and willingness to help!
