I get mine on prescription but they are Accu - Chek Multiclix. Not sure if that helps?

My pen is kept in a case provided by the hospital and lays on it's side on top of my sharps bin in the kitchen.

I had to return a Victoza pen last week because I got a large air bubble in the cartridge and it is supposed to be sealed so no 'air shot'. I did an airshot on it but after injecting another bubble appeared. The pharmacist checked the batch was different on the new pen but now this morning...

Thanks Colin. Just to update the tiredness only lasted for a few days and after a week on Victoza has now gone. Am going to ring the DN today to see if I can up the dose.

I would like to start trying the cinnamon to see the effects on my BG but after reading the thread am a bit confused. I like the idea of the tsp of cinnamon in a tbsp of honey. Would the honey not shoot my BG up being sweet (apologies if this is a stupid question). Is any honey ok? Do I need...

I have been trawling through recipes tonight for a lamb curry and I must have wandered off the low carb site I was on and have managed to make a curry that has 107.7g of carbs in it. Granted it will probably serve 4 but am really annoyed. As a new low carber I had no idea how many carbs were...

I started on Victoza on Monday and have been a bit disappointed today to be so tired. I have suffered from chronic fatigue which I have recently managed to get under control and after reducing my BG's from high 20's to 5 - 6 I was feeling fantastic with bags of energy and feel a bit back to...

Hi I have recently gone back to low carbing after a long period of stupidity and have brought my figures down from high 20's to around 5. The problem is that when my figures were high I was losing weight, now they are low I am slowly gaining weight. Am being very strict on carbs until I...
