I’ve had reactions to every long acting insulin I’ve been on. Started on lantus and had horrible burning at the injection site. Levimir would itch and I could scratch myself raw. Tried Humnlin, can’t remember why I stopped it. Now on Tresiba which gives me pain at the site for about an hour...

Just giving some background in case it made a difference. In my area it’s basically unless your type 1 or a child you don’t get anything. My depression has been really bad lately and the help I get from my consultant was basically there’s nothing available if your an adult. This is...

I've tried victoza, bydureon and another one, all of which made me ill. I have been loosing weight slowly which is helping. I was moved to a mixed one point, but I was having constantly hight sugars so they decided that separate was best. I'm currently on 42 units of tresiba. They had...

I've been on it for a week and so far I've had nausea, diarrhoea and egg burps

i've changed from levemir to humalin I and my dose has doubled, i used to take 8 units twice a day now on 18 twice a day

The only thing in the professional options are the insulin calculator settings.

I'm current being tested for it. Had bloods done about 2 weeks ago and told it'll take up to 3 months for the results. There are 5 generations on my family that were confirms diabetic

My legs. I used to inject my long acting there but ended up with painful sites. No issue since switching to tummy

So far i've had issues with 2 out of my 4 sensors and staying on, first sensor was fine, second came off, third fine, fourth is now lifting. The only difference is both those that stayed on were on my left arm, the two that haven't are on my right

my email said that there was no time limit Bottom of the email - Please note that there is no time restriction to complete your purchase If in doubt, create the account then order when you have the money, thats what i did

I have my meter with me simply because of the bolus calculator. Once i get the libre set up for it i won't need it, just need to keep a few strips with the libre for when needed
