Suffering with adhesive capsulitis .... type 2 and heart by pass. Any recommendations for safe painkillers please?

Last go before I bin them

I just inject around the navel, can't pull cycle shorts up Simon cowell style! Lol i don't have any fat on my legs or would maybe give it a go thru my trousers.

I wear white shirts as part of my work uniform have noticed that lots of them are getting blood spots from my injections. Any tips on stopping as I speedily inject and don't want to sit holding tissue against the site.

Anybody using a compact plus monitor? I have some test strips no longer needed.

Carol I have been of a similar mind about holidaying abroad but I also make short trips into Europe for work. My OH has asthma, I'm T2, have high BP and had a triple heart by pass 18 months ago. [emoji57]

I'll go look thanks

Any recommendations for type 2 on insulin please?

Ok I finally spoke to a DSN they upped my units to 7 before each meal with carbs. I have to call back next tues with my test results. At last I feel like I have a direction.

I rang the DSN this morning and was directed via ansaphone to an emergency no this in turn to 999. I'm not a 999 case so I then rang my GP who called me back and told me the letter from DSN stated to start on 2. He was not able to advise me on dosage?? I must ring the DSN which I have and I am...

If you go out for the day when on holiday what do you do with this?

Well I just did my 2hrs after dinner test and I'm 13.3 so I'm guessing 5 is not enough. I will make the call tomorrow thanks.

I have a camera type bag.......I was hoping to be able to use something smaller. Trouble is there is so much to carry along with other medications I take. I work away a lot so tend to carry a weeks worth. Think for hols I should look st something that carries just a days worth and not a 190gram...

Guess I'll have to stay on the 5 till fri. I'm just keen to see some results...when they put me on the lantus pen they said to start on 8 then up it by 2 units every 3 days till my levels come down. I'm now on 40 units and still above 10!!
