Hi all, first post!
I've recently come out in a really bad rash all over my body and my doctors can't work out what it is. Blood tests have all come back negative for regular allergies and conditions, and I've altered my diet several times with no progress. I was on a course of steroids which did help, but sent my blood sugars through the roof, and after the steroids finished the rash came back, the GP told me to "ride it out" rather than refer me to the diabetes clinic.
I'm wondering if I've maybe developed an allergy to my Levemir, as I read a few things online about that happening.
Does anyone know if the formula or ingredients for Levemir Flexi-pen made by Novo Nordisk has changed in the past few months?
I've been on it for more than 10 years without any problems until I broke out in a rash about 3 months ago.
Has anyone experienced anything similar, like red itchy blotches all over your body.
I've had to take time off work and without much help from my GP I'm desperate to find some answers to what's going on.
Thanks in advance!
