    Sudden increase in insulin sensitivity?!

    Hi I know this is an old post, but I am suddenly having the same problem. I am hardly needing any Humalog at all, have lowered my Tresiba, and am struggling to keep my sugars up in the early hours. I haven't lost weight or changed anything. I have been eating fairly low carb for a few weeks...

    It's awful that you had to pay that! I have been travelling now for 11 months, though have visited the UK twice in that time. At the last contact with my GP and pharmacy, they let me have a 6 month prescription, and it was all done over the phone, with a neighbour picking up the prescription...

    Have you managed to get prescriptions for extended travel?

    Hi Goji I have plans to go for a whole year, so am interested in how you got on. I have built up a stock of insulin but take several tablets that require a new prescription every month. I think the NHS does not officially cover you if you are out of the country for more than 3 months, so...
