Hi all, just trying to work the logistics of carrying approx 20-24 pens. i have bought one frio wallet so far (XL) and offically state it carries 8-10. i have had a little play and could say i could probably fit in 12-14 maybe more.. - just wondering if anyone has any feedback on this? will it...

yeah i really dont want to risk being on the road/travelling and not having access to a fridge for like 36-48 hours possibly. many thanks for the suggestion definitely cheaper ;)

hi, looking to take 10-20 insulin pens , is there a cheaper method than frio wallets as its nearly £50 on wallets to transport them? are they necessary on a 24 hour flight and if i put them straight into the fridge when i get to the place im staying?

looking at the frio wallet (is that required if max temp isw possibly 30?) it only supports 8 pens... im likely going to take 10-20 pens and try stay out there for two months.. is there a cheaper method compared to buying multiple frio wallets? thanks :)

You guys are awesome! Nice to see lots of people have traveled far and wide.. Will take the advice on board and if possible speak to the dn before leaving Thanks!

Good morning all ☺ I am planning on going aus for a month or so after resigning from my job which I'm hoping to include Bangkok too.. In November if possible Obviously I'm worried about the medical side especially with a 24 hour flight. And would need to take quite a bit of insulin.. Any...

yeah so i can skip a blood test for a hba1c if i go to the hospital to get it done?

is the bf able to assist and support? remind you to check when you cba? (this would be good for me too ha!) how long have you been on the anti depressants? if they arnt boosting your mood maybe worth speaking to doctor for another medication/dose increase? diabetes is **** tough and a PITA...

Hi , have a massive issue with blood tests and remember as a little kid they would do the hba1c test with a blood glucose type large machine? do they still do these or is it always blood tests now? :(

myfitness pal is free, tells you the carbs you are going to have and do the 1:1 or what the doctor has said for insulin

moved over to 4 injections, have cartridges and vials left... if allowed would any one want them here? otherwise what can i do with them that's better than disposal? thanks

i'm curious, its 2025 the NHS is "struggling", you are forced onto the cheap strip machine that needs allot of blood and is pretty rubbish... would you be happy to pay for the expensive strips yourself? lower your usual 8-10 tests a day to 2-4 to save money? move onto the cheap less reliable...

ill have to give that a go, these 3am checks are horrible though! interesting, on the "spike" thing, would you say if you feel the stomach is empty at bed time the spike should be behind you?

Hi all, i keep waking up over 10 in the mornings so did a 3am check... it only seems if i have dinner/big meal after 8pm i will wake up higher than usual. did 15 units at about 7.45 for: snickers i had before gym at 6.30 25g carbs sweetcorn 100g...

i tried to order some more when i was testing more and got a "over dispense" warning, they declined to issue them. i have printed the letter off , and will not leave until they allow extras on an ad hoc basis. thanks you two for being the voice of reason. helps me ;)

just wanted to throw in my opinion on this machine and today's events... last few days my levels are all over the place from morning averaging about 10-23. go to bed around 5-9. today at work i checked my blood and was 17. so ofcourse did some actrapid. went to check after an hour and the...

Hi bud, its novorapid and lantus, I usually take at about 2230. I maydo a big dose of rapid at times of around 15+ as I have alot of carbs .

yes i have recently moved onto four injections and so still ironing out issues, i may wake up earlier than normal at times but usually just stay in bed until im happy to move out and then test to find im pretty low

Hi all, today i woke up at a rather worrying 2.8 sugar level... now i was under the impression my liver is a safety net and if i have a hypo during the night it would release glucose...? i went to bed at about 11 and my sugar was 5.8. last few mornings before this i have woken up to around 10...

am i wrong here but i recently am on 4 injections and although i hate injections it allows freedom to eat what i want.. im having a huge amount of carbs and couldnt do this on two.. why are you not allowed to eat what you want? as long as you use the insulin to balance it its all good right?
