Hey All Ive seen a lot of you post about this product? Is it worth the money? Does the sensor stick to your skin? I'd be intrigued about this and may look into getting one!

Well what would your diet consist of? I found my dietician very unhelpful so had to research everything myself!!

I inject 18 units but i guess it depends on your diet and activity levels!! Im gluten and lactose free so quite restricted with food

Hi tara18. I changed to toujeo last year and it took a couple of weeks to settle. It is a very good insulin but mayb speak to your diabetic team about upoing your dose 1-2 units x

And thank goodness for this forum and the people in it otherwise I'd be on my own with it!

Goodness thats frightening!!!!

I can understand why that is so frustrating for you! But people say those things until they get complications and then reality bites! You did yourself proud by keeping on looking after yourself [emoji4]

Oh my goodness Elkbond thats terrifying and ironic all at once! I had a similar experience at diabetic clinic with a lovely lady in her 70s who told me not to worry, she'd had it 40 years and was in good health...I felt calmer after that [emoji4]

How are you feeling today Adam?

Hi Adam We have all been there. The diet you described is what i was living on and it was glorious! I am approaching 5 years too and had to go both gluten and lactose free last year. Its taken me a while to love food again but suffer proper bouts of craving. Its maddening. First thing I would...

Dilinger that letter you posted the link about was very touching!!

Hi Meghalton No need to apologise at all!!! Its a tough illness to deal with and then throw depression in the mix and its mental chaos. Life seems very s**t at the moment but as much as you think youve given up....you still posted your thoughts so theres still fight left in you which is good...

Hi Danielle I havent had one for a while but have suffered from these and lovely doses of thrush i was on antibiotics for near 4 months straight. Its actually very normal for diabetics because of the sometimes higher levels of glucose.

Hi nij82 How are you feeling now about things?

Oh wudnt that be fabulous!

Hi All Anyone struggling to lose weight whilst on insulin? Im finding this process very slow!

Very frustrating today when a friend of mine lectured me on how important it is to eat lunch. She knows virtually nothing about diabetes and gave me the speech of how not eating will send me into a coma! I simply wasn't hungry! I inhaled and walked away as I know its coming from a good place...
