I’ve been using the novamix for 4 days now and it’s just not working. I’ve just looked t my sensor and it’s 84% very high 14% high and 3% in range and I’m up,at16 when I wake up. I’m barely eating any carbs apart from shreddies or Greek yougurt and a few blueberries on a morning no sugar 2...

I’ve just posted a new thread about this with a few questions . I was on levimere insulin but the DN said it wasn’t working anymore so put me on novamix30 and a dexcomsenson which seems to be working fine

After having Metformin diareah for the second time I was told to stop it so for two months I was dependant on Levmere insulin but it wasn’t having any effect and my bg was high teens and twenties eventually I saw my diabetic nurse and she prescribed novamix 30 2 x 36 units to get my sugars down...

Yes I was put on the slow release a couple of years ago as the ordinary Metformin stated causing problems. I was put 500mg x 3 daily of slow release and was fine for two years till it started again. Loperamide had become my best friend. I’m only taking half of one tablet as that seems the most...

I’ve had to stop Metformin due to diarrhoea I’ve been of it for a month now and have really high sugars even tho I monitor my diet carefully. They are averaging between 18-22 and I get terrible headaches. I’ve seen the diabetic nurse and she knows I’ve tried all sorts of diabetic meds over the...

I was really looking forward. To this but failed at final hurdle. I filled the questionaire in but was rejected. Not quite sure why but I do have other health problems and have had a couple of hypos in the last three months

I’m very much like you I’ve only learnt thru keeping a food diary . Unlike most a lot of vegetables are bad for me carrots and tomatoes in particular make me spike . After night fasting on 48 units insulin I’m usually between 6 and 8 . They another 48 units on a morning by bedtime no matter what...

Do they keep on changing the meds so sometimes you get the semiglutide and other times the placebo or are you kept on the same throughout the trial. I did read that the trial could last for 5 years

This is a really interesting thread. I’ve just received the letter and was very dubious and was going to speak to my DN about this and whether it was genuine. But after reading comments I will go ahead with it. I’m 71 and my weight has crept up over the last year due to illness and lack of...

Same here way too high in carbs. I’m really carb sensitive. They do sound really nice tho

I’m not sure if others have these problems but I have 2 nexus meters but I can’t seem to get an accurate reading. they both seem way too high. The other evening when taking a reading I was shocked to see that they were up at 19.5 . Two minutes later I double checked it was 17 the other meter...

Once you filled in the forms it’s fairly quick. The only time mine was held up was because they insisted I had epilepsy and blackouts. It didn’t matter how much myself and the doctor told them it was rubbish but because I’d declared ataxia which can cause me to lose balance when walking. This is...

Greek yoghurt with blueberries , lunch 2 spring rolls and pâté on seeded brown and 2 fruit gums not quite sure what’s for evening. But BG is 6.7 so pleased with that. Might have a nut roast for tonight

How I agree with this. I have constantly been told I eat two few carbs and will suffer muscle wastage . But when I go on the advice of a diabetic dietician who insists I have porridge with double cream on a morning and I tell her that would make me high for most of the day. She basically tells...

I’ve been T2 diabetic for roughly 12 years. Slightly uncontrolled for 10 years as I didn’t realise how serious diabetes really was. I changed everything a couple of years ago when I was told I needed to start insulin alongside my other meds. However just before Christmas I went for my routine...
