Hi, I was diagnosed in September 2016. I was put on a mix insulin for a couple of months. Then I decided to change to basal / bolus, I am now using novorapid and lantus.
My contraception pill is for 21 days, then I have a seven day period break. My problem is everyday my insulin requirements change. I can go from using 9 units of lantus up to 12 units and novorapid 0.5 units per 10g carbs up to 2 units per 10g carbs.
Is plays havoc with my numbers and I am finding it so difficult to manage. I am waiting on a specialist to arrange a appointment to see what other options there are for me. Fingers crossed.
Has anyone else experienced this?
