I’ve only tried it once when I’d forgotten to take my insulin bag ( more of that in a bit ) to dialysis. They gave me a pre filled syringe with Humamlin I so I used that , it was only one injection it didn’t seem to affect my sugars any differently to Levemir but it was a ‘one off ‘ so can’t...

I’ve beeen prescribed Humulin I

I had heard that Levimir was being discontinued so I whilst I was in hospital for a procedure I asked the DSN to change me to a different insulin rather than getting lost in the system and waiting til the last gasp so to speak , I was put on Humalin, I haven’t tried it yet as I am still using up...

I reuse needles from time to time never had a problem

Nadolig Llawen to all our “readers” hope you all have a great day , and all of you not on the “ naughty “ list ( unlike me hehehe ) I hope you all got everything you wanted ho ho ho

Not had that particular problem but did have a sensor a few years ago where the needle that pushes the filament in didn’t retract and was in my arm it smarted a bit but as my daughter said “ man up “ lol I did report it to Abbott and sent them the guilty party, luckily no reoccurrences since

Congrats on new fone I too am on 12 mini and love it it actually fits in my pocket , I’m holding out til Apple make a folding I phone , unfortunately these days a smart fone is a necessity for me and most diabetics . Oh how times have changed whatever happened to those red boxes that people use...

I sure I got mine on prescription I know I got the lancets on prescription

I would definitely educate them the more people know the better and I certainly wouldn’t hide it. People who know me know I’ve got T1 , and if they don’t know me it’s not long before they know , comes with not having any legs I guess. I normally get asked was I in the forces , I could give it...

No I’ve been prescribed Humalin I, but, I still have quite a bit of Levemir left so I’ll wait till I’ve used it before I start on new stuff

I found sensor came off when I put it where Abbot recommended, ( outside of upper arm) mainly I knocked it off on door frames etc . So now I don’t put it there I put it mainly on inside of tricep not had one drop off since

I was taken off Lanctus as the consultant said it was unpredictable I only took one a day they changed me to Levimir twice a day and bs readings much better my neighbour was on Lanctus and he was changed as well

Yep I can confirm I heard a rumour so I contacted the diabetic nurse at the hospital they agreed that it was being discontinued ,in 2026 , so I TOLD them I didn’t want to get lost in the system and to change me over ASAP . nothing happened for a couple of months so I contacted the diabetic nurse...
