i now people in the UK who get their strips directly from the manufacturer for 15 pounds for 50 strips others get their strips on e-bay (check the expiration date!) for about 10 pounds for 50 strips for the first 6 years of diabetes, i had to pay for strips myself, insurance didn't cover...

"Eat to your meter" has been the mantra on the newsgroup alt.support.diabetes since 1999 Jennifer came up with her standard advice to newbies, which can be found here http://www.diabetic-talk.org/jennifer.htm this isn't what the Dr's in the US tell you to do, it's what diabetics across the...

i definitely did not delete my PM to Trink btw, i have known Trink for YEARS now, and that's why i PM'd him! i'm still waiting to hear from Eddie who is my alter ego? :)

bwha ha ha you will have to 'expose' me???? have at 'er! alter ego??? please, do tell :)

are you into 'conspiracy theories' ??? wasn't the post plain enough there is only 1 forum that i occassionally read that the 'Admin' isn't a known presence what's the big secret?

i hope the Mods have sent a PM to the individuals concerned in this 'sitation' it's not very comfortable posting here, wondering who 'they' are, that are going to criticise us publically in another forum :(

ok, interesting i belong to a number of diabetes forums, so i was curious as to which one i missed :)

oh??? who? where?? what?? do you have a URL where we can go see this other forum? thanks!

sigh......... the question was WHY do you think it's a rubbish insulin? that's been answered sorry to have caused you so much grief

oh, Siobhan, i think you are upset, and that hasn't been my intention at all i truly was curious as to why you didn't like Levemir what i have gleaned from your posts is that you don't like it because it doesn't have a 24 hour activity profile to it, as Lantus claims to have Levemir is very...

ahhhhhhhhhh ok, there we have it you weren't able to make Levemir last for 24 hours no one can i'd say your medical advice is a bit weak or were you very anti-injections? NPH aka N aka insulaTURD is a rubbish insulin because 1. it MUST be taken at the SAME time every day (no sleeping in...

start with a 50/50 split of the Lantus and adjust it from there do you know how to test your basal dose??? "Using Insulin" by John Walsh is very helpful so is "Think Like a Pancrease" by Gary Schneider "using insulin' is only available at http://www.amazon.com Think Like a Pancreas is...

exactly............... your post was irresponsible, especially to a newbie who has been given Levemir insulin for their basal you didn't even bother to answer my question to you "WHY did you feel Levemir was rubbish?" because you expected 24 hour coverage? because you had to use more? why...

i love it......... you commented, quoted (this is still a free country!?), but you insist on bashing people who are indicating to you that Levemir is a perfectly good insulin do you call it rubbish because you have to take it in 2 shots a day? Levemir isn't supposed to have a 24 hour activity...
