Hi thanks for your reply. I did find it hard to believe that I am becoming insulin resistant after only being diagnosed in April 2016. I have been on Lantus, levemir and now Tresiba. Novorapid is the only fast acting insulin I’ve been on. Insulin is stored properly in the fridge until it’s...

I went from Lantus to Levemir after only a few weeks. They thought I was having a minor allergic reaction to it as it was like a bee sting when I injected. After being on Levemir. (as I'm newly diagnosed they're still playing with my doses) I'm now on 16 before bed and 10 in the morning. The...

Hi All, Hope you are all having a good weekend so far [emoji4] Recently diagnosed, I was given the Glucomen LX plus meter. Seemed ok to me being a newbie but after seeing the nurse at my GP surgery she said it was more or less useless. I was advised to ask for the Accuchek aviva expert. As i am...
