my levels are not good so he has increased my levemir to 23 units for one week and then 24 units,checked my feet and they are in pretty good shape nerve wise and he is getting on to my GP about test strips.
sorry about the woffle.

Your appointment doesn't sound well organised, but I'm glad it got sorted in the end.

Good luck with the test strips and I hope the next appointment is better organised.
 
Hi Carole, it's so frustrating when appointments as so badly organised and you end up waiting around like that! I hope you got an apology for the confusion and delay. Great to hear that your feet are in good condition, and I hope that the increase in levemir helps you get your numbers nicely in range. You certainly shouldn't have a problem getting extra strips, so I hope that goes more smoothly than this appointment! 🙂
