I'm currently struggling. Asked for it 4 times! Been told they will probably change my insulin before giving me a pump :(

I find that sometimes I just seem to hit the "wrong" spot and utility hurts like hell and bruises badly. It is unfortunately something that happens with diabetes but like others have said ask 4mm needles

Thanks to you I have already emailed my nurse to get the ball rolling thank you

Oh and the other thing they don't give you a pump unless your eligible for it which I think means having a lot of hypos in my case

The thought crossed my mind that they are trying to save money by not giving me the pump. I would like to know more about them to be honest since I have only ever used injections. Do you have to adjust insulin on the pump or does it just constantly release insulin throughout the day? I might go...

Ha ha yeah I'm on 44 units a min and it just seems the more I put it up the higher it goes! I did start waking up at 3am to take bolus but I don't want to be doing that the rest of my life. I have asked about the pump but the doctor thinks I'm better off with injections as I have more freedom.....

How did your high sugar levels resolve? I have had thyroid liver etc etc checked so that's all good. Nope I haven't been checked for ibd but the thought had crossed my mind. Thanks for your comment

I didn't know that gluten blocks insulin receptors so it's obviously better to avoid it where possible and especially if you want to lose weight. Thanks for your feedback

I do take injection for my evening snacks if it contains more than 15g of carbs we've already looked at that issue. They've ruled out my last meal/snacks of the day due to the timing of the spike I am getting it even happens when I don't eat anything in the night thanks anyway though

Ahhh so that could explain why I have high sugars after a pizza... so how were you diagnosed with the intolerance if you don't mind me asking?

Yes I have. I have food about 7pm and then usually so munchies like crisps and yogurt about 8-9pm but I have ruled all of that out thanks anyway

Hi thanks for the reply. I have been using the freestyle libre sensor on and off and according to that it starts to spike about 12 midnight and just rises up. I take levemir at 10pm.

Hello I am just wondering whether there are any type 1 diabetics on here who have been diagnosed with coeliac disease? If so, would you mind sharing your symptoms in relation to your diabetes glucose levels as well as the symptoms that come with coeliac? The reason I am asking is because I...

Hello I was switched to this while pregnant. I jave just changed back to Levemir. I have been having hypos every night whilst taking Toujeo leaving me with readings between 15 and 26 every morning. It also doesn't help with my sugar levels during the day. It has been like this since having the...

Hello I know this post is very old. But I am going through the exact same thing only I am on the Depo Provera. I understand that they are both the same thing but the implant produces hormone over a longer period. My sugar level has gone from hba1c of 7.1 to 13! Never in my life has my blood...

Hey all. Thanks for your replies. Im currently injecting a lot of levemir around 10pm everynight im taking 48 units. So perhaps i should cut back on that? I was taking 30 units a couple of weeks ago but ive just been under pressure trying to get my am results less than 6. Its still happening. My...

Hi i am pregnant on my 2nd and im a type 1 diabetix for 11 years. Im now 6 weeks and had the same issues last time. I recently made a blog on this for others help. Because the targets are so strict i.e below 8 1 hour post meal im finding that im achieving this and then hypoing 2 hours post meal...

Sorry ive only just read your other posts. I think my sugar levels rose to 10 because i wws having coffee with milk? And the hormones of pregnancy just affect my hypo awareness. Where as normally I would notice at 4ish its getting to 3 before I feel anything. Im unsure y your sugars would go up...

Thanks so much. Ill give that a go, funilly enough i have been having a digestive after checking my levels. I also have a 2 yr old and didn't pre plan this one and my hba1c is 7.4 currently. Im not worried because it was 7 last time. It is hard work and being pregnant gives you that motivation...

Thanks for your reply. I had thought to continue a low carb diet my control seems to be better that way. It is hard ive tried to work off the basis of what my 2 hour post is and make sure that it is less than 10. So were you having alot of hypos daily? What sort of things did you eat to help...
