Looks like you covered everything there! I'm impressed. F

I find going for a walk drops my levels - not necessarily a hike - 20 mins can be enough.

Just thought I'd give them a pat on the back. They're warning of delays on delivery of up to a fortnight due to significant demand. So ordered on line Sunday and delivered today at 10.30 - that's quicker than before there was a huge demand! F

I take Tresiba but found it worked better for me taking it in the morning rather than the evening. F

I only use the phone app and it starts the sensor no problem. F

Sorry it was such a rubbish appointment. Hope your cough improves even without medical help. Perhaps they should have advised you about having a blood test before your session. Take care Frances

There have been several threads on this subject and the only news appears to be ccgs saying no - sorry

Please don't lose hope - I know I have times where everything seems to go wrong but I TRY now to just put rubbish days in the past and start again.

Hi You're on a basal insulin that works over a long time rather than a fast acting bolus insulin so you won't see an immediate change in your bs but you should see a difference the following morning hopefully. You should always repeat the airshot if you don't see liquid coming out to ensure it's...

Asked for blood test at surgery as eyesight was v wonky but optician said eyes not the problem. Back to surgery for results - walk into consulting room and doc says 'so how long have you had diabetes then?' Me 'that's the diagnosis then is it?' Doc disappears to find senior partner who says 'so...

Good luck!

A pump or not should be your choice alone - sorry your consultant has not been helpful. Are you using 1/2 units - that made my control much better on small doses (1/2 units for Tresiba too)

It might also be worth getting your doc to do some tests for other autoimmune conditions -suggesting this as I had thyroid issues then Addison's and now LADA. Hope you get things sorted.

I got mine from hospital when I explained a full unit was often too much - no charge.

The medics say these things as they now seem to think that giving us worst case scenarios is the quickest way to get us to be perfect. They don't seem to realise that v few of us are perfect and therefore it's natural for us to assume that severe complications are the definite result. I happen...

Do you have to use 8mm needles - i think most people now are using 4mm needles?

I'm using a 1/2 unit pen for both tresiba and novorapid (luckily in different coloured pens) - dsn at hospital supplied both.
