I see no reason why your GP can’t just prescribe the Libre 2 it is on their prescription list, I would send in a request for them, if that fails you can mention NICE guidance, after that it would be getting a letter from your diabetic team. Good luck

sorry, just had an eye op, so only using one eye, many thanks for the name

a while ago on here there were people using and short acting insult, want to see if i can get it, think it acted within 2 hours many thanks

Well I will know for next time, I did have a plan that if my bloods fell low, I would of used glucose jell, and did use my actrapid, taking into consideration it seems to reach its full potential after 4 hours. So now know for next time. Thanks for all your help and support

In the morning my bloods were 10, unusual for me, so I took 2 units of actrapid, 5.00am. so when he told me to take have my levamir my bloods were still 10, at 09.30, then about 10.00 when they postponed/cancelled op i took more actrapid. when early on i voiced my anxiety, no one was in a hurry...

This sounds condescending BUT Things are sortable !!! moods change, whats so bad that you feel this way ?? if talking on here or privately helps, then feel free. YOU should try if able to contact your local mental health crisis team, if able could go to A&E and ask for Mental Health Liaison, or...

Well, what a story, arrived, changed into gown, bracelets put on, then anethatist pops along, asks about insult, i advise I haven't had any as per instruction, he tells me to take half my levamir dose ! Anyhow the consultant pops along just as they were putting in the drip, has a chat and states...

thank you, so i'm okay

My what I call mild ones are a little like your description, 10 min break and I'm back, but my severe ones are, am so hungry that I can't stop stuffing chocks, then of course my bloods shoot right up, but still feel as if i'm having a hypo. My real bad ones, where my wife has to intervene seem...

Well that went well!!!!!! Pre op nurse just said, don't take your insult, when I questioned this, she said I will email the doc, of course he didn't get back, so none the wiser. So i will perhaps take a very reduced long acting, if i need to. Thanks for your support and help, will have to...

thanks for the above, nil by mouth from midnight, i will have a small strong coffee before i leave home, think will lower lev, and take glucose jell. i will discuss in pre op, not sure if i will see my consultant until after op. thanks for help. just thought, might drive to diabetic clinic...

thanks for the answers, all is a bit sudden, i'm having my pre op the day before and i know how these departments communicate so am concerned, i know my levermir seems to spikes ? I'm thinking of lowering it, but by how much? I know at pre op, they will say contact a specialist, currently not in...

I am due to go in to hospital, for major op. Told not to eat or drink from 5.00am, no idea when i will be going to have op what should i do with my long acting levimir insulin many many thanks

funny thing today, my consultant said that within ten years this will be available, he implied that it would need 6 monthly top ups, perhaps because our immune systems will kill the new cells

My consultant is rubbish with diabetes, he is not up with modern ways, just asks me if i'm taking the same insulin doses, when the courses advise changing doses to what you eat and level of exercise, would love to tell him to buzz off, BUT he is good with other medical probs and refers me to...

Lantus was terrible for me, nearly lost my job, think i suffered from symptoms of deep depression, now on levimere much better, but trying to get insulin change was like asking for gold, hope u get it sorted, good luck
