    Insulin

    It works because my doctors don't have any complaints, every test comes back clear bearing in mind I have blood tests at every appointment! I've not been in hospital because of my control so it must be doing some good This never used to happen, it's only recently that the bruises and lumps...

    Yehh I do the odd blood sugar but not like I should which I'm going to hopefully do but I know for most people 2 injections a day just doesn't work but even when I don't eat or over eat it works for me it is purely the effect of the needles which is worrying me I find it strange

    I've notice that most diabetics do more than two injections a day, so you would do all the carb counting but I don't think I've seen or heard of anyone who's on Humalin M3 which I take twice a day, a doctor in A&E did say it was kinda " old school" but it can't be that old and unknown of

    Yehh I think if the professionals take time to kinda just work with us coz I find they just put us in groups and leave us there, and actually they could be a bit more human, it's not easy living with diabetes
