Thanks everyone

Also, I am keeping the insulin pens I am currently using in the cupboard and the other pens for the future in the fridge. Is this correct? Thanks

Hi Thanks for the replies. I currently have to take novorapid 3 times a day and Levemir once a day (on a night before bed). They did show me how to inject in the abdomen so that hasn't been a problem so far. I have been testing my blood before each meal so I guess I need to change that because...

Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last year and have been managing it with diet and metformin. I used to check my blood a couple of times a week but everything was always ok. I must admit I haven't tested much since xmas. Since mid January I haven't really being feeling well in...
