I've been contemplating the same as well, I've had type 1 diabetes now for 38 years. I must admit I'm extremely fortunate with my condition. The main problem that I have concerns low sugar reactions and not being able to sense the onset. Therefore I test approximately 10 times a day. Is your doctor a true endocrinologist, if so he should be able to resolve your problems. It's important to be honest and up front with your Doctor, due the fact that you are only hurting yourself. I take four needles a day, 3 shoots of Humalog and 1 shoot at 9:00pm of Lantus. This arrangement works great for me, but I find at times due to scaring the absorption rates change, which is the main reason for needing to change. As well incorporating that with a CGM device should be the solution to the problem for most diabetics. I have a feeling that the control aspect of diabetes is only going to become easier to manage. As mention make sure you are dealing with a specialist for diabetes endocrinologist. GP's think they know it all but they do not which is a grave concern. Keep your chin up, a positive mind and don't let diabetes bring you down. Cheers.......
