Yeah I am actually I've got a food diary that my dietician gave me where I note down exactly what I've eaten, how many units I gave, snacks between and exercise information! Just didn't attach that photo

Haha I think my issue is I've got 0 fat on my legs (not that I'm complaining about that) but think that's why it hurts a little more! Will give it another go and see, will soon get used to it I'm sure!

Ahh thank you for the advice! Yes I was quite reassured that whilst still a bit high, my levels seem to be fairly consistent at the same times of day! I haven't got half unit pens and just been prescribed a new batch of single unit ones! Haven't got accuchek (luckily avoided the...

Yes that is an option, I tried it the other day and it hurt like a ***** I have considered giving it another go though if it'll save my stomach for a few days! Thank you for helping me! Panic over [emoji23]:)

Thank you [emoji5] Yes, yes and yes! That's why I was a bit worried because I did everything correctly as far as I was aware! I have been moving around my belly but maybe it's the same place I did previously another day recently and didn't realise?

Before my dinner earlier I had my Novorapid and gave it in my stomach. It hurt the usual amount going in - nothing major, gave the dose. But when I removed the needle it hurt and there was a blob of insulin and blood! Then I looked at my pen and there was blood on the needle and it looked like...

Ah thank you so much for this - such good advice!!! I'm seeing my nurse or dietician Tuesday and kept a food diary of the past week and bg readings so hopefully they can advise on the correct ratio then too :) I'm not unfortunately, there's a high demand so they're only selling to existing...

Ah that's so great to hear thank you for your reply :) that's good to know that I'm not doing anything too wrong for now! Haha I know not ideal but in my last few weeks of university and didn't want to miss out [emoji85] I've started to give myself a more units for certain meals when I know that...

My dietician quickly mentioned it but I've heard so much information it's hard to remember it all! The "corrections" I've been doing are adding an extra 1 or 2 units onto my next meal dose! Thank you so much for your help, I feel a lot better for knowing others has similar levels to start with!

Thank you! Fingers crossed I can manage it!

Exactly! [emoji23] The hospital gave me GlucoRX and I preferred it a lot more! My repeat prescription is for the Areo though :(

I was diagnosed for diabetes officially a week and a half ago (2 weeks since sent for hbA1c) and have been put on novorapid and Lantus. I have since seen the dietician and been switched into carb counting. Despite this my sugar still seems to be high - they didn't really give me a target range...

I got given this monitor too (don't overly get on with it) but it won't pair to my phone and I'm on Android! Sounds like we're both in similar situations (I saw your other post) I'm newly diagnosed and 21 too!
