I don't know it is just what was said when I did my course a few years ago. Ask your DSN if in doubt ;)

When I did my course (you not done) I got a blood meter that tested for keytones as well. This is much better than urine sample that's old hat now ;) As others have said just flush through with plenty of fluids. You've been I'll + had an infection it takes time. Any human should be drinking 2...

Becca is this a **** test of keytones?

Your ratio is 1 as for every 10g of carb you inject 1 unit. As said earlier you are correcting too much. We all do things not great at times don't worry about it. You'll get poor hba1c from hypos as the bounce back 'liver dumping sugar' causes the yo-yo effect. The course will first try to...

Hi Rebecca Humalin I is an Old Old insulin was replaced by 24 hour acting insulin (Lantus or Levimere) some years ago. Humalin I has a curved peak so the over lap between doses can cause issues. This is maybe the problem you are having. The newer Lantus etc is a 24 hour acting at a...

You are over correcting on Humlog (Lispro) during summer months the body needs less quick acting. It peaks after 2 hours & takes 4-5 hours before out of your system. You need to get your long acting sorted first. Are you on lantus or levimier ? Greg

Very interesting read. I'm an graduate from Loughborough University. After seeing Guy Martin (motorbike racer) complete the cycle performance review. I too did the same thing. It's a max power test followed by am endurance step test. Sarah at Loughborough explained the whole test & I had to...

I've just been sent a replacement for my Bayer next meter as old one stopped turning on. Support said maybe due to blockage in test strip port. They sent me a replacement foc anyway. If any hobby person would like my old one (does charge etc just not turn on then if you cover postage is...

I remember when they were 1.5 as opposed to 3ml pens were still same length just changed the cartridge more often. You want 3ml size but in half length I guess. I'm gonna be boring & say can't wait to get my pump in few weeks ;) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Glad your getting back to work mate. It's a usual individual store prob, but you can chip away & we spoke off forum. I'm sure a visit from the regional manager to the new store (my store had a surprise visit last sat from the rom) & speak to them direct about the issue you've had. When they...
