Saw my lovely DNS today as recently changed to novomix 30 and am finding it unpredictable After looking at my diary she suggested that any dose over 10 units works better and more smoothly by injecting half the amount in one place and the remainder in another. Does anyone do this ? Was on basal...

Absolutely as your meter reminded you ! Always wash your hands before testing as even touching eg doorhandle ,ovendoor etc can make a big difference

Great news on the result and guess it will be statins as you said but taking a pill daily is a whole lot better than a bypass.Take care and let us know what treatment you have

Had one in my groin and another last year in my wrist neither painful but having to go straight to cardio ward after to await bypass and that was a shock

Thanks all .Managed to free it now but tell me do you like this meter as much as I do so far

Engineer 88 I can carb count perfectly and only prob is the basal Novorapidboi The basal Levemir is like water to me but does not have side effects. Lantus seemed good then gave me stomach pains then when i gave it another go my joints seized up. Was given novomix 50/50 a good basal but heart...

After trying so many basals Dr is starting me on novomix 30 in the morning Have been on novorapid for years which works for apx 2-3 hours and then bgs go up before the next meal . Feel very nervous about mixed as i dont eat the same sort of meal every day. Have not had a hypo for a couple of...

Lucy I had an angiogram prior to heart surgery and so may have antibodies Heathenlass I have tried Levemir Lantus insulatard and novo 50/50 and to be honest diabetes consult does not seem bothered saying my figures are not too bad and as for tresiba my area wont finance it so drawing a blank now...

Heathenlass the insulatard makes my heart jumpy and think its the protomine for long action which causes it .Lantus does it a wee bit but levemir was fine but just had no effect on glucose for me. I have had heart surgery a few months ago so wondering if Lucy has given me a clue as to why it...

This is very interesting for me right now as in desparation went back on Lantus a week ago and now have so much neck pain that just have to leave it off Heathenlass what did lantus do to you ? I have insulatard in the fridge from a while back so will restart that in the morning but even that has...

Wouldnt know which were Bovine etc but have tried Levemir novo mix 50/50 ,insulatard and Lantus. Dont have a prob with novorapid so guess its to do with the chemical to make it release slowly

Having been diabetic for years I feel really guilty that my control slips so often and just recently have had bgs in the teens and then gone on to eat biscuits ,mad or what. Basal insulin is a problem for me as recent heart surgery has left me with palpitations after basal jabs ,docs have tried...

Noblehead do you know how the needles compare pricewise

After going on this decided quite logically in my mind set at the time to end it all ,was not depressed or anything just couldnt see the point in it all as we are all going to die in the end .Told dns this and was swiftly taken off the drug and have never before or since felt that way scary

Usually have the bd microfine needles but was given the ultra last time and feel they are a bit kinder anyone else have a preference

Love MYSUGR its fun and feel more motivated
