What is everyone’s thoughts about statins?? I’ve done quite a bit of research and the cons definitely outweigh the pro’s, I’m definitely thinking about coming off them.

You’re not wrong there, the link I’ve been sent to scan is apparently a new one as the old one wasn’t working, but when I try to enter my details it just says I’ve completed the form already, so Now I’m still none the wiser.

Sorry that was written quite badly, what I meant was that on the previous page was the usual name and address form, the current page I’m on to fill out says title, Date and time of appointment (that I have to choose myself)and that is it.

I know what you mean. But all it has is title and that’s it, it says all the info is in email. Then says the time and date of the appointment and that’s it, I filled out my name and address on the previous page of the online form..

Hi guys, stupid question most probably. But I’m applying to have the libre 2 and have something to fill out before my “training session” I’ve filled everything else out except the part where it says Title…. Apparently I should find everything in the email I’ve received, does anyone know what...

My fast acting is fiasp and they’ve told me to take it right before I eat as it’s very fast acting, within 5 minutes they said and drops off after 2 hours, So I’ve been doing just that and so far had no real problems as such, except for the one or two readings that have been highish afterwards…...

Regarding the tresiba, I was upping my dosage every 3 days by one unit, I think I’ve finally found a good amount of units to inject each night which is 35/36 units, so far for the last week I’ve tested first thing in the morning before work etc and it’s been in a good range so far. I’ve recently...

Ok brilliant, thank you, I’ll ask about the libre, I don’t think my fingers can take anymore to be honest.

Thanks guys, you’ve all been very helpful. Thank you. :)

Hi, thank you for replying, I’ve been diabetic for 3 years this month now (I think) but only been on insulin for the past 2-3 months, my team isn’t great I’m afraid, I have a phone appointment in about 3 weeks, but other than that I’ve had to google dosages etc myself, and at the moment it seems...

Hi guys. Just a quick question, Firstly I’ve only been on insulin for about 2 months or so and I’m carb counting etc, and the dosage I’m using is 1unit for every 10g carbs, what I don’t get at the moment is if something is say something is 50g carbs of which 50g is sugars how would I dose that...

Yeah I may see how it goes with the packet of 2, hopefully it’ll make things easier, but anything is worth a try. But I’ve found that everything to do with diabetes is a chore, from carb counting to dosing the insulin… which I’ve done all myself from googling and reading, because my diabetic...

To be honest I don’t think I’ve got much fight left in me when it comes to the nhs, took me 2 years to actually be put on insulin….think I’ll probably have a shop around to see what I can find. Seems to me that not a lot of care or attention is given to people with diabetes, I’ve only had it 3...

Thank you. Are they available now from nhs? If not I can always buy from the company, I too have quite a bit of bruising and pain from injections. What size needle would I need if I used them? Thanks again.

Hi guys quick question, has anybody had or have any experience with the I-port advance for injecting their insulin? I’ve literally only now just come across it now and was wondering how well it worked. Thanks :)

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks for the ideas

Thank you

I use my bed side drawer for my long acting, but I need my fiasp etc to be with me in work, just need something to keep it all together, can sometimes misplace things. Do you know of any particular sites worth visiting, or is it best to just google and see what it comes up with?? Thanks
