I think I just panicked because the people posting online said they couldn't buy over the counter at a pharmacy as it made their insurance void so it was costing up to 4000 dirham a month! I'll make appointments and...

    Hey, thanks Andy. I went on a carb counting course a while ago but my dr is looking into more for me. My lantus feels tricky because sometimes it's the perfect amount and sometimes it's not enough. It was all great readings until I had one hypo last week in the night and I corrected that and...
