I keep my insulin at room temperature for years with no effect. Keep it chilled if you prefer & ask pharmacist on Tues!!

@EdMac The consultation went well, she discussed briefly of other clients wishing to control their apetite/temptations with foods, as I am too. She also went through some of the workings she'll perform, being under a light hypnosis, discovering what's caused my reason for indulging in these...

Yeah just quick consultation with her. Nothing else will be done!

Thanks for that @EdMac I'll see if there's time to discover this tomorrow (only having 30 mins) but shall keep updating my progress of this, as hoping for this to work to a point if not further!! @Larissima

Thanks @Medusa41 I split my Lantus already but have thought about changing ratio also.

For a short while now I've had trouble with my BG inbetween dinner time & bed time. It maybe from the foods I eat, or my morning basal or the ratio I have between carbs & insulin?? I don't do much activity of an evening, just on the odd ocassion. Though eating & snacking doesn't help know &...

Thanks for reply. Going to speak with her Fri.

I used to take my prescription notes with me & ensure I had a medical card stating I have diabetes on me too. Though not being questioned about it, you never know in "other" countries!!! Since then, having flown a little further afield it got easy on both trips there & back, even the States in...

Hi everyone, struggling with weight loss & all that comes with it (esteem, will power, self control & motivation to continue with it) over the years I've tried several diets, programs & lifestyle changes (with some success). However I struggle to continue with it afterwards, putting it all back...

Ironically the smallest of exercise can bring down your BG. Be careful you don't have too much bolus before & check BG a little while after. Also another point is seizures don't always feel the same each time. As I've had hypo's with no knowledge until checking & other times I may sweat, shake...

Doesn't your wife/partner know how to take your BG for you, so they know what's going on & how to treat you best? Best to check BG either way, however you feel to ensure you correct properly, otherwise you'll just make it worse & further the complications for it too. If she doesn't, show her &...

Nice design having read the topic of tattoo designs & what info to put with it :) not got one with that myself (yet!)

I've had days over a week where I've only done BGs once or twice a day. This alleviates worry of scrutinizing my control to reach perfection. If high I correct or feeling low I eat/drink something!! Nice to have a rest & days free for "holidays"etc Please discuss........!!!!

Yeah I understand that now after so long injecting after eating. Finding it hard to change routine of snacking & foods consumed, but that's another topic!!

Thanks azure. I have been injecting before meals the best I can. I wish to lose the weight & permanently change my appetite & thinking of high carb foods, having low self esteem in this.

I did WW a few years ago, with carb counting too, not eliminating carbs totally, nor counting points (just carbs-insulin) along with exercise & I lost about 2Kg (5lbs) in the 3 months I did it for. Though as you say, I couldn't stick to it either & have put it back on, though still exercising at...

Normal? What's that?! Never ever had long term 'normal' readings, each day is random & unable to control, though never felt nervous like that. Just when I need sugar, being low & have none to hand.

How long is advised to leave timing between splitted dosages, if injecting more than once for a meal?

To pevent spikes in BG after meals, consider splitting insulin dosage: before & after eating meal. However, I'm having big spikes at night, between night & morning BGs, apart from increasing Lantus dose, what else can I do to ensure this doesn't continue?
