Tomorrow, I’m hoping to join a local running club. I have no experience as a runner/jogger. I’m just wondering are there any specific Do’s & Don’ts I should follow. Any advice will be much appreciated I’m currently on NovoRapid 3 x daily. Levemir 1 daily. Along with Slow Release metformin...

That’s brilliant news.....I’m a wimp, got two TickleFlex’s now. Purely because I’ve now got two types of insulin to take. Personally, for me I find it easier using the TickleFlex, I can administer th insulin quicker with it than without

Well my DN said yesterday to up the Levemir from 32units to 36 units. Maybe I should try tonight on 34units. My gonna do my bg now, hopefully that has risen as I have eaten now. So the light headedness is passing. Oh the joys of a new regime, insulin etc etc

My bg reading this morning was 5.5. That’s the second lowest reading I’ve ever had. My bg reading at bedtime was 13.8.

Two weeks ago I was put on another insulin. I was already on Levemir at night. Now I’m on NovoRapid 3 times a day, 4 units (breakfast,lunch,dinner). Levemir 32 units. Well spoke to my DN yesterday, based on my bg readings she advised me to increase my morning insulin to 6 units, and evening...

Thank you so much for spending the time sharing your experience with me. It’s very much appreciated. I think part of my issue is I’m still getting to know the DN. I can at least say we do have a common goal. I want to have a baby, so my bg has to come down, and be consistently the same or close...

Maybe it might be worth you putting them under pressure to see you. Obviously, under the circumstances it’s vial you have all the best advice possible. If you have a phone number for the department, you’d have nothing to loose giving them a ring on Monday and saying you need to see the DN or...

Might be worth you considering purchasing one of these devices called a TickleFlex. I have purchased one and it’s certainly helped me when it comes to administering my insulin. Plus, I’ve also had far less bruising. Here’s the link for the website https://www.tickleflex.com Good luck x

Are you under your local hospital specialist for the diabetes? If you aren’t you should get you’re GP to refer you to them. In my personal opinion, they will be the best to advised you. Myself and hubby are hoping to try and have a baby. Unfortunately, my blood sugars are to high currently...

This afternoon I have to phone my DN nurse with an update of my bg levels. For some reason I’m feeling really stressed, and anxious about it. Yesterday, was the only day I didn’t eat 3 meals. I had my breakfast/lunch....was then out all day and only had later supper. That meant I did my...

I’ve invested in the TickleFlex, and they have definitely made injecting easier

I do that anyway. Inject straight away in the morning, and last thing at night.

I’ve recently been started on a second insulin. Insulin to have prior to meals. I’ve been advised I need to administer it 15 minutes prior to my meals. The dilemma I’m finding I’m having is between breakfast and lunch. So far this week, I’ve been waking around 10:30am. Therefore, I’ve then...

Well I made it to my appointment with my DN. I worried way to much. It was a review just to see how I was getting on with the new insulin (Nova Rapid). She also clarified the routine required. Consultant said insulin 4 times a day. The DN nurse confirmed 3 times a day (morning,lunch & dinner)...

It is called Nova Rapid (orange pen)

I haven’t been given any advice with regards to carbs yet. Been advised need to loose weight. I think the supper would be counted as a meal. I currently don’t have any sort of eating regime, sometimes have breakfast sometimes don’t. Same applies for lunch. Tend to have evening meal. The...

That was the number the consultant advised. I think it might be because I need to get more structure into my eating. That itself is rather challenging whilst away. It is all seeming overwhelming at the moment, and I guess being away isn’t helping.

Some of you will be aware I’ve come away to Germany for a long weekend. Prior to coming away I was given another insulin to add to my regime. We came away Wednesday, straight after my hospital appointment. We have come away to an organised event that my husband takes part in. Therefore, all the...

Hi all, I’m sorry, I’m bombarding the forum with questions, help & advice. Some of you will be aware I’ve had a new insulin added to my regime. Admittedly, today is only my second day on Novo Rapid (4 units, 4 times a day)accompanied last thing at night with Levemir ( 30 units). I’m not seeing...
