Wow, thank you for all of the info! I have CGM and a glucometer. I am always checking. Good idea about getting a sooner appointment and that it will be my first appointment. I think if I got off the 70/30 insulin I might have an easier time of it. With this type of insulin, no dietician can guide me. (this has been a problem before) I do eat a low-carb diet but low fat and low salt. At my age, I am not ready to sacrifice butter and salt!! I have no complications from diabetes yet and I am 82......Thanks for your guidance! PS I also had an endocrinologist tell me "Some people just have high blood sugar, and you will be fine".
