Well... I have been to see the consultant and had the DSN in there too. They basically do not know what to do with me, I'm having allergic reactions to all the bolus insulin they prescribe [emoji85]. Referring me to a dermatologist for patch testing and want me to take glimepiride whilst I...

Hi All, Just an update really..... Well, i have now tried 3 fast acting insulin's, Apidra, NovoRapid and Humulin... the latter of the 3, Humulin given to me as it seems to have less m-cresol than the others ( so my DN says after checking with the pharmacist ). Unfortunately, every single one of...

The image above is not my leg!! but, this is the actual colour that i get 12-24 hours after injecting. Hi, I have up loaded a few pics of the reaction i am getting, its not just a pin prick reaction it's quite large red area that itches, these, red areas take at least 12-24 hours to appear...

Hi tim2000s Is the insuman infusat used in pumps only? Thanks

Hi tim2000's, Yes, i thought that, but was told by DN that Apidra was the go-to insulin if people are having reactions, she didn't want to give me anything at all, but spoke to another consultant and told me if i was willing to try, they would prescribe a different bolus insulin, so i said yes...

Thanks for replying Leslie10152, Yes it's looking that way :(, The Apidra was great apart from these red lumps. I don't think my DN knows what to do with me as she said if it happens again with NovoRapid then its up to the consultant. I just do not know where we go from here, i feel like they...

Hello Everyone hope you are all well. Apologies for the long post I was put on a small dose of Bolus insulin over 4 weeks ago, Apidra. I have been having postprandial highs and they have been lasting a good 4 hours before returning to normal, hence using the insulin to try and control them. I...

I am please to report that the LC pancakes i had this morning, have not caused a spike. finished eating them by 9.30 am. took bloods at 10.30am just to see how i was doing.... 7.0 11.30 am... 5.5 :) going to have some bacon and eggs later:angelic:

LOL thanks i am trying, i was very despondent yesterday... i'm hoping this new found positivity lasts a while because i know that i may hit the low carb wall.... but we shall see. Just eaten delicious cream cheese pancakes, low carb and gluten free, had a drizzle of maple syrup ( doesn't have...

Thank you to everyone who has posted a reply so far, you really have helped lift my mood. I see now that low carb high fat doesn't necessarily mean completely different meals to my family, just adjusting slightly. I think also, having been a yo-yo dieter ( probably contributed to the diabetes)...

Hi, thanks for the reply, i too take mebeverine and fybogel and omeprazole... ibs is bad enough to deal with, but then add diabetes into the mix and it's just grand!! NOT! if i was only getting nausea i would persevere with the metformin, but i'm not, unfortunately after taking it, i then get a...

Hello All, I am a newbie to this forum, apologies now if this post is long. I was diagnosed T2 in June 2016 but was not put on the register till September 2016 as i was told to do my best with diet and see if i could 'get my blood sugars' down... they were HbA1c 49. I was told that i was 'only...
