Had an apopointment to see on the of the Diabetes nurses on wednesday, with a possible view to having a continue blood testing monitor fitted for a week. Luckily, she decided not to do the continual test but we did have a long chat about my control and how I was coping.
She told me to disregard the consultants instructions to give myself a correction dose for readings above 10mmol unless it was really high. amd told me to stand my ground over wanting to keep my control running around 8mmol as I know my own body. She congratulated me on the all day breadings I did on tuesday which were fairly level between 8 and 11mmol, as this is apparently very hard to acheive, and said my HBA1OC was heading in the right direction.
She does fell that I should see a psychologist about my fear of hypos which stem fron being unconscious for hours at a time when I was pregnant with Ryan but we ere both a little concerned that the consultant appears to think/assume I am on steroids when I am most definitely not!
I came way feeling much hapier as the nurse congratulated me on being 'positive' about my diabetes and eyesight! Well i was on wednesday but am not like that all the time!
