Hi Thanks for your reply and for the info about the needles. Can I ask what size and make of needles you use? I understand what you mean about not needing to see the needle going in, but don't you ever wonder if it has not bent or if you are injecting into a bruised area etc. I don't know...

I am getting very upset because i am struggling to inject now that my vision is so poor and I don't know what to do. today I spoke to my nurse. I asked her if there were any pens where you just put them on the skin, like a finger pricker really, and say pressed a button and the needle was...

Hi, I know what you mean about not wanting to interrupt sleep, there is no way I will wake myself up at 4 or 5am to inject because the sleep interruption would do me more harm than a few hours raised sugar!! As for the menopause, well I am 55 and have gone through it, thankfully no real issued...

Hi It's a nightmare isn't it! It's only through having the Libre for the last 2 months that I've been really bothered by it. I don't work so I don't have a regular breakfast time so I am able to work round the morning high When I wake i scan and take my Lantus and Novorapid, and I take the...

Presumably it would, I don't know much about them, my nurses have never suggested one and the waiting list is a long time so if there was any way I could cope with the problem without one then it would be good.

Hi Thanks for replying. Yes I do think the only answer is a pump but I'm not sure I would get that, not sure if I want it anyway. The sleep disruption of waking up at 5, injecting and then sleeping for a further 2 hours would be absolute rubbish and would probably do me more harm than having...

Hi I got the Libre because I have lost hypo awareness and I think that is why I am extremely cautious about how low I go. For all I know I could have been dropping to 4 and been fine as I would then rise again, but becuase I am scanning more....I am getting up at 2.30, seeing that I am 4 and...

Hi Thanks for replying. Yes I do have the Libre 2 and have been on it for nearly 2 months now and this is why I am much more aware of what my sugar is doing overnight. I take Lantus before bed and before breakfast. Unfortunately there is now way I can just wake up and inject and back to...

When I go to bed about 11 and until about 5, I am at an ok level, but from 5 it just goes whoosh! and I can wake up at 12, 13. I can be at 4 before 3am. And if I am 4 at say 2am, I have 10g of carbs. I'm scared that if I increase my Lantus I will go even lower than 4 before 3am, but then is...

Appreciate your advice, we have decided we will goas we are staying in a hotel, not seeing anyone else but daughter, son in law and 2 small children and being very careful. I have not seen them in 15 months and this alone has impacted on my mental health so on balance I thin we should go.

Hi, you are SO right! I just needed to hear the rational side of all this and everything you say is true about all this. Just that I was and am a born worrier, glass half empty kind of person and after shielding and being frankly terrified of catching it for 10 months it is very hard to change...
