@KennyA Thanks for the explanation . I brought up the late lowering of my fingerprick readings after meals, with the GP who's overseeing the swop to Houmulin 1 for Levemir replacement. He was happy to receive my 4 hr readings after meals while phasing out Levemir . That satisfies me . Its...

:)

The GP and I agree on 16 units a.m. Im taking it 1/2 hr later than b4, which was on waking. The GP said it was ok to go high to begin with for a few days on 10. 12 or higher As I rose to 14 units then 16 things flattened out but with a few hypos. Having studied science i realised the need to...

Today 5.6. And today tne first time in 5 yrs my readings have stayed within 4 _7.

Hi certainly scary, Im 4 yrs in and only Type 2 tablets with one dose insulin ' I started on tummy pricks but now use thigh which is more comfortable . I ve had windy tummy pains recently but havent associated with insulin.

PS I was very lucky to get signposted to the Lead diabetes Doc . I realise this a scary time for many especially type 1s. Best wishes . I don't have a consultant tho wanted to see one as my diabetes seemed a bit odd especially as type 2 and only weigh 44kg which isnt stable. Hope you get your...

Thanks for the tips. I may give it a try, but am stopping my once a day Levemir for Humulin x 1 . My diabetes doc has just messaged me to say to stick to regular meals with no extras til the dose is fixed.

I have an insulin pen used once s day. How to keep it cool in the heat in temps of 30s degrees in SE. uk . I have FRIO wallet ends is that enough ?

@DumfriesDik I've been toying with the idea of CMG . My own GP says I don't qualify . Im needing to take readings 7 times a day. That's hard on the fingers, Occasionally I get a hypo so that 2-3 extra readings to be sure the hypo is cured. Im about to research the CMG that can be used...

Thanks that explains it well. My readings rise at least 2 hrs afterIm trying to locate any triggers. My Doc is changing my old levemia to humilin 1. It's a good time to sort out the rises, Mine rise 2 _ 4 especially after brekkie Does it matter that you eat your holy trinity occasionally? No...
