Hi Tony, now I've finally settled at my level of 13U on Tresiba the results for me changing from using levimir are may I say 'magical' I'm almost certainly getting as close to a straight line level as is possible when asleep, my next challenge is to change from the slower acting novorapid to...

Thank you so much, I've never had any contact details for a hospital diabetic nurse, it seems like I've somehow fallen off the system, my next GP review is in a few days so I'll push for hospital contact details for sure what you are saying about the GP nurses aligns perfectly with my...

I've seen a hospital consultant once early this year possibly triggered by the fact that levimir was being discontinued with the next appointment in January regarding the possibility of a pump but beyond that it's the GP's diabetic nurse team I see otherwise, not had the full hospital visits for...

Thank you, my healthcare professionals have never mentioned an alternative to novorapid despite me trying to put my issues across, I feel un-heard and dismissed for most of the time, it's definately now the subject I'll be bringing up at my next review in 9 days for sure

Oh my gosh really, that must be getting some great results I would imagine, I've been on the list for an insulin pump but still waiting next appointment to discuss it is in 4 months time in January 2027 but only providing I get approval aparently, I've only had the condition for some 43 years...

Thank you, that is really helpful, certainly gives me some ammunition for next time I see the diabetic nurse, I get so frustrated as my healthcare team seem to be so clueless on the subject, maybe it should become a pre-requisite that a diabetic specialist should actually be living with diabetes...

57 year old having had T1 since the age of 15 I'm 5fy 8" and 82kg, my ratio was 1.1U for every 10g of carbs obviously you can't do anything other than full units, but more recently having changed my background insulin to Tresiba and leveled that off nicely I'm doing a ratio of about 1.5U of...

To be fair I've been through many airports with everything T1 related and no letter and no issues anywhere

Yes all of what you are saying above, having changed from levimir to Tresiba as a background injection I seem to now inject novarapid at approximately 1.5U per 10g of carbs whereas pre Tresiba it was more like 1.1U per 10g, but what you're showing and have described sits the same with me too...

I've done those TV competitions to win a camper van until I checked my driving license one day only to find out the categories I have on the license does not allow me as a diabetic to drive them!!! Only had my license for 40+ years and never realised, thank god I never won the star prize Good...

I feel for you, having diabetes does seem to mess with you're immune system making us more vulnerable to common ailments others can shake off more easily, you're not alone we are all hear listening

I've had maybe 4 or 5 sensors over the last 2 years that have gone 'readings paused wait 10 mins' and have never recovered, one worked for about 30 mins and threw up an error code, I contacted Abbott and they sent me a new one and I sent the faulty back for analysis, they are quite good at...

From my experience that sounds about right although my health professionals said levimir lasts 24 hours which it obviously doesn't, and Tresiba lasts 60 hours, I went from 24U of levimir and equal split 12 hours apart to an initial dose of Tresiba of 22U (2 less than levimir as instructed by the...

I changed from Levimir about 4 months ago, I was taking 12U levimir every 12 hours (7am and 7pm) the hospital advised me to take two less units than my current dose so 22U of Tresiba every 24 hours (at 7pm) and it's taken me the best part of 3 to 4 months to stop having the hypos, I'm now down...

Currently 7.4 have changed my background insulin from Levimir to Tresiba and been battling overnight lows for the past 3 months, finally got it to a point where I'm steady through the night, the hospital advised me to take 22U per 24 hours about 4 months back and I've adjusted it down gradually...
