Good morning all, I just wondered if someone could give me a helping hand. I'm a relative newbie - one year diagnosed. I'm on split Levemir 4/6 and Humalog. I've had good control right up until the week before last and now it's all just gone out of the window, with pre meal readings being 11...

Just for info.... My pharmacy must have given me some duff info and sent me on a wild goose chase! Bayer say there is no problem with the manufacturing or distribution of this product. Apologies for setting off a chain reaction on poor info from my chemist!

Good morning and thanks for your replies. I've now emailed Bayer via their website a nd I'll let you know when I hear from them. Kind Regards

Hi all, Does anybody know anything about this? I've just been for my monthly prescription and the chemist had no Microlet Lancets. Apparently there is a production problem - no eta for a few weeks. Fortunately, the chemist across the road had some. However, i couldn't really get a good...

You can add in carb value and insulin units but there is no food look up functionality. The graphs aren't as good as my iPhone app (diabetes diary with 4.8 on icon if anyone interested) so I've not bothered inputting as I also keep paper record and that would be just too much faffing! When I...

Hi. I've been trialling it for the company that makes it. I've got to admit as much as I love new technology, I'm not getting on great with it. It's SO small, it makes you all fingers and thumbs, and I think the test strips are flimsy. So,in other words I wouldn't use it full time as I much...

hi, I'm lucky enough to be trialling this for Sanofi Aventis. I went to my regular clinic appointment and whipped out my iPhone where I currently log my blood sugars, and my nurse said they were looking for people to trial this meter which plugs into the bottom of your iPhone. I've been using...

Hi Nicklenocky and Fallenstar, Nicklenocky, was just researching the site to see if anyone had posted something about whether Lantus dose was correct or not, and I came across your previous post about sudden and unexpected hypos. When you'd reduced your dose by 2 units (after the increase of...

Hiya all, Well, it's been a week since my strange and out of the blue hypo, and I just wanted to thank you all for your kind words of advice and encouragement in that time. This forum is a lifeline at times like this. :D So I feel like Baldrich in Black Adder :lol: :lol: :lol: as I have a...

Morning Fallenstar and Smidge, I'm on 9 units of Lantus and I take it at 7.30a.m. I started on basal/ bolus in April and was on 6 units Lantus and getting good control. I've steadily upped it as my needs have increased gradually. I'm on Humalog now and prefer it to Apidra which I was on...

Good morning Otenba, Thanks very much for your reply. I'm on the waiting list for a place on DAFNE and I thinks this will be really beneficial. You are quite right - I only had Lantus in me when it happened and by my reckoning that would have dwindled down in the lead up to my injection time...

Hi Smidge, That must have been really awful for you, and you don't seem to have had a liver dump to help recover you from the hypo and indeed increase your bg into double figures which is usual what happens after a hypo. Must have been very frightening and frustrating. Another chap called Tom...

Hi Fallenstar, Thanks for all that info. It's all good knowledge to have. I think we've spoken before about Apidra and I agree with you, a bit too pokey for me!! It's brilliant to hear you are so stable and particularly with your training. I even have trouble going for a walk at the...

Hi Fallenstar and Sandra R, Lantus sounds to be a bit of a issue for a lot of people. I have kind of questioned the choice over Levemir with my DSN but she thought it was better because of the one injection. Having said that, if I could get it back under control, I'm happier with 1 injection...

Hi All, Here I am again, still struggling...... Wonder if anyone could give me some thoughts... Bedtime reading 10.1 2 a.m. reading 9.4 7.30 am reading 10.2 Took 9 units of Lantus (Full dose - take it in morning) At this point was contemplating a correction with breakfast which I was having...

Hi Fallenstar! I've only ever injected into muscle once, but it scared me to death - very painful and hypo city shortly afterwards as it was in my leg. Couldn't really avoid using my legs!!!!! It put me off injecting into my thighs and I got a bit of a complex about it. It was when I was...

Hi tom79, I'm a type 1 and was only diagnosed in February, so forgive me if this is like the blind leading the blind because I'm still learning it all myself, and indeed find out loads from this forum!!! I was on Novomix 30 when I was diagnosed and a little while after, after having some...

I've been on Apidra since March (diagnosed in Feb but on Novomix first), and switched to Humalog last Thursday because of the production problem. I too have a little stock of Apidra in my fridge, but welcomed trying something different. I'm a low carber too. I've found that the Humalog gets...

p.s Daisy1 - I love your new cat!!! Top marks for cuteness!!

Thank you. I'll gear myself up with some detailed readings etc, and see what happens.
