The only place that sold one cal was the chemist!! And it was a treat too. Tony

Good morning @Dweezil I inject 5 sometimes 6 times a day and keep a very tight grip on my levels. My focus is keeping level and don't mind injecting and i put this down to being old school. I recall countless finger pricks and huge needles back in the 70s and 80s whereas now i have 4mm needles...

I put a question mark after 8 mm because i was unsure myself. To a small boy it was like a harpoon!! lol Tony

I have just passed 50 years a type 1. I remember the injectagun where you placed the syringe on the top of the gun and press the trigger and the **** thing shot into my leg. You just wouldn't get away with it today as it was torture!!! I'm well known these days for banging on about 4mm needles...

Hi @Richard F I feel your pain as i have been in your shoes. I usually phone but what i do is this......... Pop phone on speaker Have tablet to hand and play scrabble whilst waiting Have a coffee on the go I do this early morning when i'm at my most agile (head) I feel i owe it to the NHS...

Hi @Bwobwob Welcome to the forum. I am also changing from Levemir to tresiba but not until after easter. I have been advised by my GPs surgery Pharmacist (i didn't know the surgery had its own ) who was about 12 to reduce my dose by 20%. I pointed out i intend to go lower and explained at...

@Marie 2 and @Antje77 thanks and i know a bit more about insulins and pumps. Its only since i am being forced to change my insulin that i am researching the subject. I have been bimbling along with good control using MDI and whilst i am confident in changing my mind is not closed to other ideas...

What are the safety reasons? again just curious @Antje77 .

I agree... when i was in my twenties i was on 100 units of whatever it was...... Can i get the tresiba in vials like levimir novorapid? Thanks Tony

I've been doing alot of thinking lately because of the change of insulin. Somebody elsewhere stated their background insulin vial lasted 5 weeks and i thought gosh thats not alot and thanks to @Antje77 i worked out mine lasts me 12 days. I take 24 units of levimir per day. Is that alot and what...
