So I am currently on Toujeo and due to hard times I will not have any money until Saturday to pick up a pen and only have one day left. I was given a pack of Lantus (from a friend) after I was diagnosed in 2016 that has been sitting in my fridge but it expired 08/17. Is their any issues with...

Was diagnosed type 1 in february along with being anemic and an overactive thyroid. Started with an A1C of 12. 3 months later. Iron and thyroid brought to normal levels and an A1C of 5.8. Just buckled down and got my condition under controlled. Do not want it to effect my life more then it...

I have but cost and simplicity has moved me towards being interested in the Libre.

Interested in picking up a Libre but its currently not released in the US and from what I have read the US version will not have a monitor and will only be scanned by doctors. So what would be my best route to picking one up? Ebay has the prices sky high.

I cant take my fast acting. Even a single unit seems to cause me to hypo.

Hey @TorqPenderloin out of curiosity what are you basic honeymoon levels? Iv been at 85-100 most days and thats with 10 units of Toujeo a day and no fast acting.

I am going through it currently and I believe and could be mistaken @TorqPenderloin is also going through it. Do you have a question about it?

My doctor told me I need to test and have my results documented so my insurance company can see i still have type 1....to maintain my perscriptions....like its going anywhere lol

I took it. Still a new T1 here. I agree with Tim regarding how the survey felt while taking it. Felt i was herded towards a narrative with the questions if that makes any sense. Also the question about future concerns. Were all working to avoid complications in the future.

From what i have seen you can shower and bathe with it on. If your swimming in a pool or salt water i do not know if the chemicals or salt can muck it up.

As for feeling tired of lethargic and tired I have noticed no difference since starting in Toujeo. Also have not had any issues with hypos on it so far. Sorry I could not be anymore help.

Yeah in a perfect world, but that's not what we live in.

Does it always seem so severe? Running very normal. I am gonna see an endo for the first time this week and wanted to make sure i wasnt crazy.

Recently diagnosed (little under 2 months). My levels have been stellar. Eatting properly, seeing a dietician for more food options and nutritional knowledge. My issue is I operate and regulate on little to no insulin. I was perscribed Toujeo / Novopod (15U twice a day for Toujeo and 1U of...

Iv been on graves since being diagnosed. Whats worked for me is just being consistent with what i eatand when i eat it.
