Feels like Im having a hypo though :( Even before when I hit the 4's it was hypo symptoms for me and felt really unwell. Obviously if I had the usual hypo treatment it would get me too high again :(

Hello Even though my Insulin is changing to Basal/Bolus on Monday I have a question in the meantime. My sugars are anything from 9-16 on average with the occasional high of 20-22.

Thank you :)

I havn't ever Injected in public, probably because I'm worried someone might see the needles and if they have a phobia :( Highly unlikely but thats what stops me I do however have a puff on my Inhaler if I need to as Ive never known anyone to have a phobia about one of those

Hi Anna I do feel like im being messed about :( I just want to feel well again, or at least better. Neither Dr or Nurse have discussed which Insulin apart from DN did say I might get away with only one dose of Insulin as she said my fasting bg wasnt too bad :shock: I thought they were terrible...
