I had this issue the other day...took a couple of doses of Sudafed and my readings went all over the place :/

Oh I must change my signature. ..I'm on Lantus and Novorapid now :( x

7.1 at 3am but 8.3 this morning :(

I'm sure you've been told but he has to inform the DVLA of the fact he is using insulin. He should be testing before every journey and if he has an accident and hasn't tested he could be in a lot of trouble!!! He is quite frankly not only putting himself in danger but others too. He has every...

It is inevitable that he will have a hypo. He MUST carry something with him. It seems he is in for a.huge wake up call. Does he drive? Does he know the rules about testing before driving? If he ignores the advice he could lose his licence ultimately :/ I feel for you as it must be so...

Is Humalin the long acting insulin? I've been put on two different ones, rapid and long acting. I managed to escape a.hypo for a week while my levels were coming down, my hba1c was 10.9 so nor too different from your husband's. It's difficult when you're on insulin because so many factors...

Thanks Guys! ! Yes diabell I suspect I am LADA as I am not overweight and relatively young! Pushing for tests at the moment. You have put my mind at rest though and as I thought providing in stay a similar weight I shouldn't have too much of an increase x

Linda, I went on a basal/bolus regime straight away after months and months of gliclazide not working..been on it just over a week and have managed to get my fasting down to around 7 from 15+!! I was put on a mixed when I was pregnant and I just couldn't cope with how restrictive it was..I love...

Hi All. I've been put on insulin now as oral meds seemed ineffective. At present I take 1 unit per 10g carbs (worked out do bolus 5 hour test) and 10 units lantus at night. I'm 34. So reasonably young to already be on the insulin route, however it's working!! BUT my question is this...as I...

7.9 this morning!!! After months of being on gliclazide and watching my fasting raise to over 15+ this is a huge achievement. Been on insulin just over a week

Well done that's amazing :)

Brill thanks Clive :) I will take a look x

It's great...I asked to be out on a bolus/basal regime because I tried mixed when I was pregnant and i was having hypos all over the place. I have had one hypo, the very first night I took my lantus as I must have hit something...It dropped within 40 minutes!!! x

Thanks Eddie :) in the 6 days I've been on it I've got my fasting down from between 14-16 to 7.3 this morning and I gotta admit I feel great :D post meals are around the 9 mark...but better than 20+ I was getting on the gliclazide!!! Feeling very happy :)

I have this...is this the stuff?? It does say 75% less available carbs than sugar...which is a bit strange...However I find a sprinkle of this doesn't really have much affect for me.

I've only been on my insulin 3 days so I guess my repeat is still just the old one...I am using loads as I'm testing before driving as instructed...before and after meals...50 will not last long lol x

Out of interest, how many test strips do people get through? I can only request 50 at a time and seems like always requesting them!!

Thanks Robert...I'm testing overnight at the moment for peace of mind really so will give it a few more nights and see if there's a trend :) which I'm guessing there will be!

Do they just expect you to alter your basal by yourself? She's started me on 10 units but I think that may be too much as I took last night, was 15.1 when I went to bed...but was 12.6 when I woke up...I know its all a bit trial and error but if I wanted to lower my lantus I can without having to...

Thanks All. I gave her a quick call to clarify and she said that because the last time I was pregnant when I was insulin my body may react differently this time. So to start with stick to the 2 units and in a couple of weeks when I'm comfortable to start carb counting. Oddly though she said...
