We saw the Dietician yesterday
| Sat, 01-19-2008 - 3:22pm |
We saw the dietician yesterday and she didn't seem to be very thrilled that DH's dr. put him on 30/70 insulin. She basically said it was an outdated insulin and there are better things out there, expecially for a younger person. Anyways, she put him on 3 meals a day at 60 carbs, an am snack of 15 and afternoon snack of 15 then a pm snack of 30. She also gave a some booklets of good fod choices for him in the different food groups. DH confiscated it so I haven't gotten a good chance to look over everything. Our next appt is on Feb 8th.



Thanks for the update!
Audrey,
I wasn't going to say anything about it but I also don't like it either. Because it is a set dose of long and short acting insulin there is a good chance that he isn't getting the correct dose of either one. There are newer insulins out there that do a much better job. But some doctors (usually not endocrinologists)
