Like your style - have appointment with dns this morning - hopefully my blood sugars are low enough for splitting my long acting insulin and she will start my on fast acting too. But if no joy I will book emergency GP appointment. She had already referred me to the endocrine department at the...

Thank you - this is exactly what I need :) why I wasn’t given this info at the hospital or via my dns I can assume they’re so overworked and understaffed!

Thank you - that makes sense

That’s good to hear - I’m am speaking with again DNS today as endocrine have told me there’s a 6 month wait for an appointment :(

Thanks - that’s what I’m thinking and hoping too :)

Thank you for your detailed and informative reply. Sorry, I should have included all the components on my two meals - breakfast, poached egg, tempeh rashers, mushrooms and wholemeal toast (very thin slice) and dinner was homemade nut roast (no carb) savoy cabbage, carrots along with the two very...

Thankyou Chrisy - have spent the past three years counting carbs and more recently concerned as my blood sugars have been continuously rising - fingers crossed they will sort out my insulin over the next few weeks (forever optimistic) as at present even two hours after meals with insulin...

Thank you for taking the time to answer, I spoke to DSN and she has said we will spilt this but at the moment we are waiting for my blood sugars to reach single numbers first (fasting - there now, pre-meal - not consistent, and post-meal, still in low teens but moving in the right direction)...

A blood glucose machine will become your best friend - it will help you understand what foods you can tolerate and which you need to avoid! Are you not taking metformin? Dapaglifozin gave me terrible thrush so make sure you get canastin on script if you suffer. I was T2D for three years, I’ve...

Thank you for your detailed reply - you have confirmed much of what I was thinking through reading. My diabetic nurse has been great, good job as the diabetic clinic has a 6 month waiting list! She was the one who recognised that something other than T2D was going on and ordered the cpeptide...

Hey type Oners Don’t know if I should post this here or in the LADA page but I have come to the conclusion that LADA is almost on the way to being T1D - I have RA and I think my misdiagnosis of T2D in 2020 occurred as my RA hadn’t been diagnosed then either - I thought my joint pain was left...

Thank you Daibell I will have a nosey on Amazon now - my gp and team are usually great though

Hey Sorry for the tardy reply - and thank you for checking in with me. 111 sorted me out an emergency script and after a drive halfway across the county I picked up some more pens (box of five disposables) hurrah! I have messaged my gp and requested a novo pen for my cartridges and am seeing DN...

Thank you ☺️ advice much appreciated - especially the spare pen.

Thank you Zhnyaka I have the top one - I have tried to unscrew it but it’s not happening - I think it’s the disposable type! It didn’t come in a box as the emergency diabetic nurse at the hospital just gave me the pen and said that my gp would be able to give me more insulin. Thanks for the...
