Exhausted and about to give up

Lovely thanks IHS. I'll do as you suggest and order 6mm and 8mm. I currently have tubing length of 60cm with silouhettes and that's plenty long enough so I'll stick with that

Ps - I was taken off the pens because of erratic levels !!! High and low!

Many to ask Carb Rocks - how do you insert them - manually? I currently use the sil serter for the silouhettes.

HI Riri,
I use the contact D cannulas which as far as I know are the same as the sure T's.
All I do is push them in manually. Painless is the name of the game. Just remember you need to change a steel cannula every two days.
Removal I just peel around the edges gently then pull upwards. Again no problem.
The sil serter might also be part of your problem. I know Jopar manually inserts hers and has no problem.

I've been on insulin for about 35 years now. My blood sugars have NEVER been stabilized and doctors always say I must be doing something wrong. I've been advised to go on the pump "it will be wonderful" so I'm on a waiting list for 2 years now. Some days I feel I'd love to be on it other days no as I feel I still have that bit of control as to when I do the injecting. The last 2 weeks I've had brilliant tests but I knew they wouldn't last and are back this week in the 15 range again even though I'm cycling to and from work. Heading off to a pilates class now to see if that will help and also to strenghen my back.
