I was seen at clinic yesterday and my main problem is pre bolusing on work days.. It's just not possible. In the morning I need a 50-60min pre bolus and 30mins at other times. This leaves me with high spikes I chase endlessly on work days. My next problem is that my Levimer is running out after 10hours. I split my dose into two am and pm. He is changing my insulin to fiasp and ?(can't remember the long acting).
Has anyone had good experience with fiasp? I don't know too much about it apart from a question I asked a while back on this forum which (I could have picked up wrong) I get the impression it's not great.
Also I forgot to ask at clinic but is my insulin resistance completely down to me being overweight? If I lost weight would I still have to pre bolus as far in advance? I'm type 1 but the last few years quickly gained 50lb (trauma and depression led to this) and now also take metformin. I'm struggling with the weight loss. Any tips on this would also be greatly appreciated.
Last question is I have been given the libra on prescription (praise God). Do I still have to check with my meter before driving?
