    Weight loss injection

    I am also on a lot less insulin, got down to 33 units novorapid in a day on some days in the month. I've always been 55-65 units a day and upwards. The only other time I needed less insulin was when I was on the antibiotic clarythromycin for a week on the two occasions I took it. My insulin...

    Weight loss injection

    From my understanding the ozempic may have helped me by stopping my liver from chucking out glucose in a very unhelpful manner. I've lived with brittle diabetes type 1 with type 2 symptoms and insulin resistance and weight gain and having to take insulin even when I've only had a green salad (...

    Any type 1 on semaglutide / ozempic?

    I am type 1 and been on ozempic for about a year. Gradually worked my way up to 1mg a week injection. The most positive impact on my diabetic control in over 30 years! ( I did also start on the t slim pump some months later along with Dexcom g6). I have felt sick and it's made me more tired than...

    Double diabetes

    I am type one on the t slim pump and Dexcom and I have been on metformin for decades for my insulin resistance. Drs have questioned my type of diabetes then come back to type one with type 2 difficulties. Last year I got put on ozempic for me to help my insulin work better for me. I didn't know...

    Type 1 - Losing weight on Insulin

    I had gained a lot of weight and diets, which I tried loads including atkins ( yes closely supervised) and never lost weight. My big problem has been that I still need a lot of insulin when eating just a green salad! I wasn't believed by a particular diabetic dr for years, I saw lots of...

    Run out of insulin can I take out of pen or cartridge

    Thanks for all your replies. I do have the quick and slow acting pens as a back up but really wanted them as a last resort knowing how much difficulty I would have doing the swap and calculations for a couple of days. It's hard enough to try to get bloods under some semblance of control...

    Run out of insulin can I take out of pen or cartridge

    Thanks for your reply. I live in a small remote place where the pharmacy is at the drs and there are no others..... they got it today thankfully and my extra 24 hours on the tandem t slim cartridge turned out ok. I know it's not advised so it's certainly not something I would suggest but it...

    Run out of insulin can I take out of pen or cartridge

    Thanks for the reply. The area I live in is so small they are unlikely to have another insulin but it's good to know, thank you [emoji846]

    Run out of insulin can I take out of pen or cartridge

    My local surgery has been having trouble getting me the novorapid in a vial. I've told them it was getting urgent and now I have none and need to change the cartridge on my tandem t slim now. The surgery says they have novorapid pens and I tried explaining that I cannot switch to this alone as...

    Ypsomed loop / Medtronic 780g/ Tslim

    I'm getting my t slim any day now and training through teams at the start of September. The change to Dexcom g6 has already made a difference, showing the libre to be giving me incorrect results and I don't know how long it's been doing that for. Combination of that and ozempic has already...

    Night time micro managing

    As expected once I've found what works it changes... it's a regular thing for me. So last night I needed more insulin and tonight it just starts rising quickly with no food or change of routine. Just being it's usual predictably unpredictable self [emoji849] Ozempic has certainly helped but my...
