Grrr...
No labs or anything like that was done. He said I am on the right track
but
that the insulin to carb ratio was wrong. You would think the nurse
would
have known this. Wouldn't you?

Yep...

So now I am to have 4 units of Novolog (instead of 3) per serving of carb
and an additional 1 unit for every 30 points (that's the same) and to up
the
Lantus to 50 units. He said the other option was to put me on Smylin
(sp?),
but that less than thrilled me since it too is injected.

I hit a vein last night and boy did it spurt, and hurt. Had to do two
shots
because the pen was running out. Took me about 10 minutes to work up to
the
other shot after that. I really didn't want to do it.

He also wants me to test 2-3 times a week after eating in addition and
mail
him the results. Gotta call and get more test strips. Grrr... Always
something.

Well, that's a step in the right direction.

And I hope he realizes just how badly his incompetent nurses did by you.

I already told him what I thought of her.
