[QUOTE="-Artemis-, post: 646318, member: 89325"] Hi [USER=39639]@azure[/USER], that's really helpful info, thank you... And so odd - I was starting to think I maybe had arthritis too! :/ I also was *extremly* low and emotional, developed bad skin, and put on half a stone in less than two months... Fingers crossed and touching wood as typing... But the former two seem to have lifted too. Not sure about the weight bit - but it's early days... So we'll see... One question - though I don't know if you can help as it may be different on a pump - but, what time do you take your isophane, if you do in a pump...? I seem to have the daytime doses sussed with good numbers from mid morning through to bed... But I'm still waking with blood sugars around 8. I can't see how I can increase my isophane as I go to be around 5.5, and stay around 5.5 till somewhere between 3 & 5am... When I go up. I'm worried if I increase it, I'll hypo - but I can't figure out the action time exactly, and can't take it later than I do as I take it around 11pm... Any thoughts/suggestions...? When I convinced them to prescribe it to me, they openly said they don't have any experience with it - so I'm kinda running blind with how to work out doses and times - which is why I'd be v grateful for any advice :-) Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
