Hi, Katie! Welcome to the forums! Hope you get a lot of information here, I feel like it is a constant learning process for me.

I check my sugar 3 a day, and I have a bunch of lancets given to me by my clinic. I switch them out once a week, so one box would last me over a year. I change my insulin pen tips when I switch to a new insulin pen. I wash my hands before I check my BS every time.

I don't know whether to laugh with you, cry with you, or be scared for you...... maybe some of each?

No. I keep my mealtime insulin by my place at the dining room table, and I keep my long-lasting insulin by my bed, because I inject it right before I go to bed. Edited to add that I need to change my medications list on here - things are different since I've started posting here.

I've found that I can do egg drop soup and a couple of shrimp rolls don't raise me to an unacceptable level. I can make a dinner-sized General Tso's chicken last at least 4 meals, and have a huge salad to go with it. Make the salad at home.

This brand (ReliOn) is made specifically for Wal-Mart, from what I can tell. I never see it at any of the other drug stores or pharmacies or "big box" stores.

Right now, I am using a ReliOn Premier, but I am thinking about switching to a ReliOn Platinum as it will like with MySugr, and I only pay $20 for 100 strips at Wal-Mart.

I have a Samsung phone also, and I try to restart mine every day or two if needed.

I take Vitamin C 3x a day, zinc and magnesium 2x a day, along with various other vitamins and Rx meds.

I take a low dose of statins (Atorvostatin 10mg 1x daily) - pardon any misspellings - and use both Lantus and Humalog. I occasionally have joint pain, but I also have arthritis so I really couldn't say what is causing your joint pain.

I have to agree with the previous two posters. I have only used Lantus, though.

I change my lancet once a week.

When I first started using insulin, I noticed it more as I used the vials and syringes. I use the flex pens now, and I don't notice it at all.

Hello, Arsalan. Welcome to the forums.

Good morning everyone! I was at 103 @ 7:30 this AM.

Oh my goodness! It's really piled on you, hasn't it? I don't have anything helpful to say but just know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this time. And you can always come on here to vent, let off steam, and get your fears and frustrations out of your head and heart.

Hope everything turns out OK. Keep us updated when you see this.

6 or 7 - sometimes more, sometimes less.

I use the 0-sugar French Vanilla liquid. It is 1 gr carb per tablespoon.
