    First hypo & i’m alone - help!

    Always, always make sure you have some dextros to hand. They are a god send. Jelly babies used to be my go to hypo treatment but have returned to the trusty dextros. So easy to dose once you know how to treat a hypo. Also very good at not causing a spike after as you only take what you need.

    That’s the same pen I use. I have a spare I could send and probs say I lost one and get it replaced. Because they should be free to you also. We live in the same county. Pay the same taxes. That sounds like a joke though. That’s disgusting, I would not be sitting with any rep from a pharma...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    I’ve just had a look at the profile of abasaglar, it’s the same as lantus, gets in its stride after about 2-3 hours. Sometimes I find having a nap can have a rising effect on my sugars upon waking. You could of been tired which can put more pressure on our systems.

    Can get them on amazon too, think they are about £1 more on there though so I get mine when I go to town and keep a stock in the cupboard. Really good as soon as you get the start of a sore throat or cough. Good immune boost. Secret is black elderflower with zinc and vit c.. :)
