It was Tesco pharmacy and then I went to Preddy pharmacy and got the same response.

I’m in the South West of England and cannot get hold of Apidra in vials or pens. Seemingly another insulin is out of stock, don’t know which one as the pharmacy worker was not very forthcoming with information!! I have emailed Sanofi directly regarding this issue, is anyone else struggling?? Not...

Indeed it does!

Bring back the Multi Clix it is so much better made than the Fast Clix, which I also find for some reason really awkward to use?! Glad you've managed to get a short term fix. Why do things always seem to go wrong on a weekend when none of these companies work?!?1

I gave up trying to get one on the NHS and obviously still can't buy them because Freestyle are completely useless at making enough of them! I was given the OK for one last year and the day before I was supposed to get it I received a call telling me that they (CCG) had changed their minds!! I...

You will I think still have to use the meter to test pre meals so that it can work out the amount of insulin required. I use the G6 with a pump but I still have to use my meter to work out meal delivery as the pump/meter are bluetooth linked and work effortlessly together and I can't be bothered...

I will be committing not commuting!!

I decided to take the plunge and do the one month trial of the Dexcom G6 CGM. After having it sat in the box for 3 weeks whilst I went on vacation and dealt with other stuff I finally on Tuesday got my act together and got started. All I can say is that I’m very impressed after only 2 days...

44 with 42 years under my belt. No complications just lots of other autoimmune disorders. Fighting fit, LCHF diet, don’t drink or smoke (I have done both)!! Any ailments usually a result of coming off my bicycle!

I’m in the same boat as many others here. High BG’s. Well hydrated and not suffering from any extra illness. Have gone to changing pump cartridges every 2 days but trying to do 3 days. Also had the joy of a batch of duff insulin or insulin that had gone off for whatever reason. Insulin now in...

I also found that once you departed from paediatric clinic you were pretty much left to your own devices. I went without a clinic appointment for 6+ years. I got my repeat prescriptions so carried on regardless. It was only when they stopped producing one of the insulins I used that I found...

As already suggested using your meter is a great way to confirm the product you've been given. I regularly do this when only draught is available or ask for water.

Mine is included on my contents insurance. It also includes home and away so wherever I am it's insured. I was told when I received it that your household insurance was the place to insure it.

Having experienced a similar I was informed the software I had bought from them was out of date?! They sent a new version. I wouldn't hold your breath.

I only took 7u @ 7pm and 2u @ 7am when I used Levemir as my basal insulin. I am quite slim and very athletic. I eat quite a few carbs to keep going and have a basal to bolus ratio of 28%. I am now using a pump and my basal dose is 7.7u a day. I average between 18u - 24u a day. We are all...
