Hello all.
I'm wondering how to go about requesting a change
of insulin when your Diabetes specialist refuses to do so, in the UK.
I take Tresiba and Fiasp.
I'm getting itching, swelling and rashes at my injection sites.
I alternate injection sites all the time!
Low and high blood sugar levels despite same amount of carbs,
same time of eating foods, same amount of insulin,
High blood sugar levels for hours and hours despite taking
insulin, portion and carb control, exercise, eating at the same time ( I always have dinner at 6pm, so nothing to do with when I eat).
But my diabetic specialist only concentrates on the low blood sugar levels, never listening to anything else!
How do I get to request change of insulin as a UK citizen?
Advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
