Hita, I just wanted to know if anyone has or is using Semglee insulin? I've been told to try it as I am suffering g from all over body itching...they think it might be an allergy to Lantus... Anyway, I havent started it as yet bit if anyone can tell me your views, that would be great. Thanks in...

Hiya, I've been asked to try Semglee insulin by the consultant at the hospital. I just wanted to know if anyone else has tried it and how they're getting in with it. I'm always very nervous when trying meds I've never heard of before. I'm also a t2 . Many thanks in advance .

Hiya, yes, I started to "get better" last year. I did see flachrs and floaters but just dismissed them. Anyway, last October I saw the doc with what I thought was conjunctivitis to cyut a long story a bit shorter, it turned out that I had proliferstive retinopathy, neovasculisation and...

Hiya, I'm reluctant because of all the nasty side effects I get. I've been using insulin recently and in the passed 7 days I've gained 6lbs!! Its not the weight gain that's the issue, it's the rapid weight gain that concerns me. I just wondered if there were other people like me who have had...

Hi Patrick. I too have been through a lot, losing my parents when I was young, my brother committed suicide when I was 16 years old. I've also suffered abuse so I haven't had it easy. I think I am autistic...I also gave birth to 3 autistic kids so you can understand the magnitude of stress I...

Thanks for the reply. I've since stoppedbinsulin as I was getting side effects that were rare but certainly affecting my life.

Hiya Its difficult ...it really is. I've been a type 2 for about 15 years or so and I was told that id only overloaded my body with sugar...so I just carried on doing what I did...eating what I wanted. I've been on antibiotics for nearly 7 weeks, been admitted to hospital for a nasty abcess...

Well, to be honest if I hadn't been ill I wouldn't be on the stuff.[emoji52]

Hiya. I'm a bit confused with it all still. Normally I will take 4 units with food if I'm having carbs. I. Also on 34 units of Landis which I take in the morning. What would I adjust? The lantus or the novorapid ?

Thank you. I'll have a look because I am struggling with breakfast .[emoji3]

For breakfast I would have scrambled egg with a slice of wholemeal granary toast. For lunch I will have a ham and cheese salad and for dinner it would be meat Or fish.with a salad or veggies and possibly some carbs but only little bit. This has been my diet with the occasional glitch for 6...

I've been on insulin now for 6 weeks. Blood is in range during the day but still high in the morning. I am having a tough time dealing with being on it. The nurse is insisting that I'm on it forever but the consultant thinks differently. He feels that I'll be off it eventually, providing I...

Sid Bonkers.. You say you used insulin for a year after your diagnosis. What was the reason for stopping? Had you managed to get down to single figures and then stopped? I've only been o it for 6 weeks and I've had enough already. I'm a type 2 and have been for about 15 years. I don't want...

Thank you x

My typical.meals would consist of a.salad or veggies with some sort of meat or fish. Breakkers would be egg..sometimea with t9ast. Lunch would be a salad with ham and cheese .

Hiya, I have some strips and I do check sometimes, but only if it's 15mmol or above. Apart from when I was ill the other week, the ketones are always low.

Hiya Ickihun, No, I've been on 4 units of fast acting now for 5 weeks and my lantus dose is now 34 units. I don't want to go any higher but the nurse seems to thing I should . My by is 13mmol in the morning and has been for a couple of weeks now. It was at 10 mmpl but for some reason has...
