Another that has large drops in the afternoon. I presented evidence that it is the bolus that is the issue by showing no movement if I miss lunch (a lovely flat level reading) but large drops after 5 hours when i did have lunch. Trainee consultant seemed interested but their suggestions either...

Antje77 - thanks for your reply - and what you have said this is where we are thinking - of happy for her to eat whatever takes their fancy. Yes she has a long list of medications but pretty sure none are steroids but will have another check espcially on some recent changes. Roe

My diagnosis back in the 80's was a bit strange but it was just the circumstances - Mum thought was I was looking too thin (she was not aware of the constant drinking and peeing and cramp in both legs each night which started during my O'levels final exams - I was enjoying life started college...

No issues execpt small injections with a pen is very strange.

I'm with you on vials & syringes. I did change from Lantus to Tresiba so had to go onto a pen but at least I know from my experience I will not go that way for my short acting as it will not work for me. Hopefully it is just a manufacture issue than moving away from vials.

@EllieM I will ask again re Dexcom (as yes aware the guidelines have changed or about to change) and pump but everytime in the past when I just ask the reply is often no try this (which often I have already tried) but I only seem to get a yes when I present concrete evidence which is what I...

Hi Soplewis yes I normally do have a snack when I checkimg my levels are dropping but yesterday I had fallen asleep so wasn't awake. In regard to another CGM I am hopefully with the new NICE guidance that I may be able to get the dexcom but I will need to prepare lots of results and all the...
