Hi guys So anyone else on abasaglar ? What units do you take and has it helped ? Have you ended up on a fast acting insulin aswell ?

Hey thanks for the advice so I did the free trail it was good when it worked but most the time it was about 6 numbers out from what the reading was on a finger prick test . It kept loosing connection with the app also So I took it off and stuck to finger pricks . Getting used to it now

Hi So I'm on a fa's acting insulin sugars high still dispite been on 36 units on a evening . Has anyone tried quorn and meat free diet instead of meats ? If so was in beneficial to your sugars at all ? Thanks

So, think this whole starting insulin is getting my anxious about hypos Is it worth self funding a sensor like free style liber or doing fi her prick testing? I will be on a long acting insulin, it's alot of money a month to self fund a sensor but truing to work out if be beneficial

Because other meds tablet wise haven't worked for me make me ill and sick, then they said because I had diabetes from 17years which is very young. I was on 80mg gliclizide for about 6 weeks and didn't make them any lower than 10. 5 from 18-19. I reacted best to insulin in 2020 and that's what...

No I have a bloods test next week for the MODY I have been on gliclizide didn't do much. Asked them but they said the rules are so strict they can't do on prescription

Thank you, I'll take a look at the website. I will most likely invest in fressytle sensor if going on insulin. I'm hoping to turn a corner in getting these sugars down

Can I ask. How are you finding the sensor

Can you get in touch with your diabetes team or ask gp to refer you back to them. Sounds like may need help. In hand to get them back under control again.

Thanks, hope your well

Hi Anyone diagnosed with monogentic diabetes or MODY diabetes is another name.? If so did it change anything for. Your managment of diabetes?

I have it from my DN and it's great as can hook it to the app and see your trends in numbers.
