Yes that is a largest drop - as I mention in my first reply I also did the same injected bolus (then I was on Humalog) instead of basal (then I was on Lantus) but I fortunately was aware after the injection what I had done so ate to counter this injection - is there something you can change so...

Yes given too much but never had a seizure and sorry to hear this happen to you - do you know why you injected too much? In my situation it was after injecting bolus instead of basal insulin it suddendly dawns on you that you given the wrong insulin before bed so you start eating food and this...

Once I got of posting I had a look at the sprit health website and it says they are free (test solution) but not sure if you would still incurr postage as didn't look any further, As others suggested give them a call. Re the suggestion of getting a friend or relative - I would be cautious on...

You can if you want but have you tried a test soultion - I don't use the Tee 2 but aware many T2 like it due to the lesser cost for strips but for all the meters I have used I have been able to get a test solution from the manufacture to test the meter is working correctly. This was always been...

Hi Antje Feel your issues - I don't have the details anyalsis as not on Libre. On my last call with the consultant I have been told I am insulin sensitive but then in the next breath told to inject earlier before eating to stop the spike & no you can't have a half unit basal pen. I have...

MommaE Just a head up if you ask your GP doctor for a letter they usually charge for this. I use to have a letter, which I had to put a small donation in the donation tin rather than pay the doctor fee others have suggested ask a nurse or if you have one your consultant at the hospital...

Not sure why you have major issues with Moderna I have read more about issues with Pfzer than Moderna but that may be down to more people getting Pfzer than Moderna. I had Moderna as my first two not due a booster till 2022 - Yes I was late to the party for my own personal reason - I had no...

StewM - I also struggled with this guidiance and meeting it fully to the letter. I am not sure if you are trying to do a Basal test or if it was just a general oberservation but here are my thoughts on it: Remember it's guidance. In the end I decided to do a full 24 hours basal test (some...

Understand your frustration but sense it may be more about the information/instruction/training you have been given is a bit lacking i.e. you would be on a higher basal but you have reduced it yourself. I have been T1 for over 30 years and my basal is only 12 units the amount of units you take...

Be carful with the suggestion of looking online for table based on weight - if I was given this I would be on 4 times more basal than what I am currently on and even what I am currently on is on the tad high side for certain times of the day. Basal testing is a good starting point but it isn't...

Hi As the title says I have deleted my last post - not becuse it had no replies but read by a few people but the receptionist at the GP surgery had told me the wrong thing. She advised I needed another blood test because the GP was concerened about my Serum Soduim levels - I got the print...

To be honest not a theme park kind of person but I have never considered using my diabetes to in esence jump the queue because I may have an issue. Please note I am not trying to have a go so if you think this is right for you then ask. Just to note I have twice used diabetes sort of to...

Sorry to hear of your issues. Alternatives will all depend on as others have mention who sees you (GP or Endo) currently. Yes I have had similar issues (endo Appointments) always seeing a different person sometimes I would in insist on seeing the main guy but on a few occasision back in the...

Hi Congrats on your new job. I haven't had that many new jobs over recent years but when I had my interview I always mention by T1 condition I assume you did not mention your condition but this shoudn't be a problem in your new job. But hopefully they will send you a medical questionnaire...

Thanks @Antje77 I actual have a telephone call appointment in a few weeks so will ask if they can change the pen to a Novopen Echo. Thanks @StewM most helpful and encouraging.

Thanks @StewM Sense this may be the case and probably will do another Basal test but as I am on such a low dose of basal (only 10 units - 30 years plus diabectic) of which I can only adjust by a full unit (Tresiba) so any small changes effect the rest of the day and night which at the moment...

I am not saying this to say look at my low insulin units; levels aren't I great & often a bit over the place so just trying to stress we are all different 30+ years diabectic, on the overweight side of things but I only take 10 units of Tresiba. As pointed out in the another thread of mine...

Thanks for all the detail most helpful. My issue is my yes works slighlty for 3 hours then really kicks in at the end. So 5 to 6 sometimes 7 hours later if not had dinner I drop from where say 7 to 5 sometimes high 4's Example Inject for lunch 12 noon - 7.1 Eat lunch normally about 20/30...

Hi All Does anyone have the life span of Fiasp once injected? I think it is meant to start working say 15 or so mins then peak effectivness I assume 2 hours but what is the tail i.e. does it last for a total about 4, 5 or 6 hours after injection? Thanks for any information.

I will not be signing, but appreciate the idea. Yes understand major chain can do this but you must always remember the values published are a guide, but as other have said for small business this is going to be difficult when you already have many hospitality places raising concerns in the UK...
