[QUOTE="MushyPeaBrain, post: 178734, member: 27914"] Leona your post really interested me and I went researching into your situation because it sounds horrendous. In the USA some diabetics have found they can take rapid acting insulin if it's mixed with dexamethasone, an injectable steroid that deals with the allergy symptoms. They would also put you immediately on a pump as this reduces the amount of insulin needed so decreases the reaction etc. You should be a priority case for a pump even if you have to pump the lantus as it would keep you more stable and reduce the damage to your body from constant injections of high doses. This link on desensitisation to treat allergy may interest you : [url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1352375/]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1352375/[/url] This link refers to a UK specialist who deals with diabetics like yourself: [url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7804443.stm]http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7804443.stm[/url] I hope these are of some help to you in finding a much better solution :D [/QUOTE]
