I hate basal bolus insulin. I really do detest it. I was put on it last October 2016, and as soon as I can I am changing back. I have an appointment on 30th and am really demanding to be put back on the mixed insulin. Whilst it was some 30 years I was on it, for me the control is much more easier. You do have to eat at fixed times but that wasn't a problem for me. Although you can vary the amounts of insulin you inject in a similar fashion to basal bolus. For me the control of it was much easier on mixed, and also the fact was I had to only do 2 injections a day, versus 4-5 of basal bolus. I complained at my former surgery about this and was told that Theresa May has spoken publicly about injecting 5x a day. That was little to no comfort at all. I used to have really good control on mixed insulin - never had any hypos yet since being on basal I hypo at least once a week. I know its hit me hard and I am majorily depressed over it as a result. I hated the fact that I was changed from something that worked and have been left to try to figure it out on my own with little to no support from hospital or doctor. Thankfully I've changed hospital and am writing to them ahead of my appointment asking them to consider what mixed insulin I can go back on, because if I get there and they won't - I'm not doing it any longer. I really have had enough of it. I know my body really well and the change was never explained to me properly and none of my telephone calls are returned or dealt with.
