Hope it goes right for you, and you get what you want from it.

Didn't @Robinredbreast start a new job? hopefully the reason she's not been here is because the job is enjoyable, and interesting, and she's been too busy. Or something reasonably close to that, hopefully.

I agree with @DCUKMod if you feel ready to make a complaint, then it's probably a good idea to move forward on that. A thought that keeps coming into my head is that what people with diabetes in hospital seem to need is a sort of advocate. As far as I know there is no such service specifically...

@smc4761 said when his doctor suggested a pump that he told him there was a limited number of pumps, and he might have to wait two years. Which sort of implies you're waiting for someone to die, which is so cute. A bit like being put on a council housing waiting list. I hope your area is a bit...

Probably.

Congrats. Only three and a half months away. They don't mess around do they, no snail could overtake them.

It's not great, but it's not crazy high. Hopefully soon corrected.

Happy birthday Karen. have a good day.

Morning, Ok overnight, pretty much the same as yesterday. My miaomiao/xdrip/blucon free libre is showing a 90 day average blood glucose of 5.9, quite pleased with that. Assuming a 6.1 average, because Libre often reads a little bit lower than a finger prick test for me, that would give me a...

Morning everyone, Went a bit hypo round about midnight, again, which is a bit of a nuisance, but Lantus did that too, so I have a feeling it might be something about me, my circadian rhythms, or whatever. Don't want to reduce the evening Levemir dose any more, as I'll end up to high if I do...

The pain in your calves could be an early sign of intermittent claudication. You are now getting your blood sugars under control, which is the most important thing to do, and are treating this as an early warning sign, which is right. That's the best thing you can do. As well as controlling...

When I first began using it I would start it straight away, at the moment because it runs out early evening, I put on the new one in the morning of the day the old one ends, so it's about ten or eleven hours before I start the new one. That could change, but that's what I do at the moment.

You were great @Petaluk

Morning all, I woke up just after midnight to a Libre reading of 2.9 during the night, ate 2 wine gums, and went back to sleep, and it then slowly rose to 6.8, and I corrected that with 1 unit, and woke about 7am on 3.4. This is Libre readings, so I'm not sure how accurate that 2.9 was, it...

That's moving in the right direction, so that's good.

You haven't got the result yet, it could be better than expected, and at least it's going down, even if slowly. Don't be too disheartened, HbA1c isn't everything, if your hypers are starting to be less high, and your hypos less low that could create the strange effect of making your HbA1C look...

Morning, just after I made a comment yesterday my blood sugar decided to go too high, though to be fair I did help the gremlin out, by probably not bolusing enough for lunch. Fairly steady overnight, I corrected about 1.30am, when it reached 6.5, and woke to a nice 5.1. This wasn't an alarm...

The Tresiba is working then? that's good.

Good afternoon all, Congrats to @Mel dCP on HbA1c, good to hear @Cumberland blood sugar is behaving now, hope your youngest daughter enjoyed her first day at secondary school @kev-w and that you didn't feel too sentimental watching this next stage of growing up. Hope the news on the new is good...

Because it's a long acting insulin, it's take a while before it starts to push her blood sugar too low, so if you try to get her eat a lot of long acting carbs, like maybe a sandwich, fruit, and things like that, give her a late night high carb meal, and then, as others say, keep testing through...
