People that can't listen to other people's opinions.
People that can't say sorry.
I always used to go high if I hit a capillary...

I seem to be hitting more capillaries lately but no hypos on Toujeo300. In fact some rebounding Hypers. But cannot prove as not testing through the night.
I might need my uneven tummy checked soon from 146units of Toujeo300.

When I was on lantus, I hit a capillary in my thigh once and it was totally fine. Blood, but no weird numbers. Asked my doctor after and she said capillaries are fine.

I'm also on Toujeo and have hit capillaries - I've not noticed any rapid changes to my levels though so I wouldn't have thought this was the reason

Hi all , before going on a pump I was on Lantus and this happened to me a couple of times and it’s pretty scary. I was 9.8 and injected my 16 units and it bled a lot. Within 15 minutes my sugars were 1.9 , so I was drinking Coke, eating jelly babies and all sorts to try and get it to go up. It took two hours but eventually it did , it was a scary time. I found that I had been injecting after a warm shower and so your veins and capillaries come to the surface more , so I used to avoid them before injecting after that!
