So for about a year or more I have been taken insulin. Novarapid and Levemir
Its been tough, cant say it hasnt but I have plodded along as best as I can. I have extream pain in my legs diagnosed at first with diabelies Neurolagy (wrong signals sent to brain) and I use morphine.
So all of a suddern about 2 months ago, I woke up feeling very tired and weak, so bad I went back to bed, well its stayed with me with just a days break now and them.
But now the last 2 weeks Ive found it very hard to bring levels down, they are reaching 18 mm/ml at times ans I take a 20u of rapid, but test as I will it never comes down
Ive been given a freestyle libre system, and the last 3 days Ive been able to take 100 tests in a day if I want its a very good system, so Im taking tests every 30 min, more than needed, but you dont use anything while testing and best of all no blood sample taken
Ive compared it to my regular meter, whos to say that spot on ? but the sensor method is just 2 mm higher, so not more diffrent to normal meter.
Anyway to the point, I have to strugle with high pain in left foot and both legs, very high pain, then I have this extream weakness and very tired, and finally problems trying to get levels down
Yesterday i visited the diabeties clinc with the last 6 months readings, charts and more, he didnt want to see them, and as of yet hasnt put anything forward to tackly these prablems
what can i do... 19.2 mmol/l right now, 30 min after 20 units of rapid
