Oh Gail you poor thing .... Please don't give up on your D. I know it's hard but you'll actually be doing more damage to yourself if you give up now. Can you call or email your DSN to try to get things down a bit before your appointment ?

It's not easy but try to get some advice sooner rather than later - don't be shy about asking for help when you need it . Good luck 🙂

Aw Gail, I am so sorry to hear this How many carbs are you eating according to your food diary? If you can reduce them at all then that should reduce your insulin requirements or blood sugars - hopefully both. I can't remember, have you tried Victoza or Byetta as well as the insulin? What insulin are you currently using? It must be terribly frustrating for you and I know the high BGs won't be helping how you feel, but please do try and stick with things. I hope that your consultant is able to come up with some good treatment options for you at your appointment - let us know how things go.

Awe Gail, its so difficult when things are going wrong. Mine is a mess at no as well. But keep with it, see what your team say. Fingers crossed you find a suitable solution xxx
