after 18years on pumps I returned to pens because of canula rejections am unable to use pumps anymore was concerned about managing the change but has turned out for the better as my blood sugars are now predictable and I can generally keep between 4 & 7mml also its a lot off me financially as...

Pumping can be expensive to maintain and when bgs go out of control there is more things to eliminate to find the problem if you can control well on injections then stay with them I was on pumps for 18 years but are now on injections due to cannula rejection, tried all different types and depths...

Honey moon stage usually refers to LADA but generally occurs in older people around 45 plus, this stage is hard to control as the body's insulin rate varies until finally settling down it took me over 2 years before I could successfully control with regular insulin injections that was almost 40...

With 60 units of levimer I wouldn't be here to write this I use 13 units of Levimer with my 7.5 evening mealtime bolus of humalog I can't understand what you are doing here are you only having 2 meals a day I think you should see your endo or educator to get things under control.

the difference between 12.5 & 12.6 doesn't indicate anything the meter readings alone will vary more than that and if you were to check again on another finger there would be a variation also bg meters are only accurate in the normal bg range around 6mml

I also have 40 years of type 1had about 36 years of excellent control 18 years of pumping can't use pump anymore body refused to accept canula after about 12 hours so went on to levimer and humalog pens but can't get good control, spend days with high levels then a sudden return to normal for a...

Levimer is affective for about 18 hours I use Levemir with my evening meal and meal boluses thru the day will cover me thru to the evening, however if you try this you may need to reduce the Levemir as its profile tends to peak then a gradual tapering off unlike lantus which has a flatter profile

I believe Novolog is producing a new faster insulin with much shorter duration which I am looking forward to trying when it's released

I change from 1 to the other every 2 to 3 years but can't detect any difference in peaking or duration

think I have put my reply in the wrong place so will make another attempt LADA shows up in your c peptide results as type 2 until later down the line as the c peptide diminishes is when it can be classified as LADA so you will be using tablets until this is established

I used a Medtronic Paradigm Veo which have a 300 unit reservior which you can fill to whatever you like from the insulin cartridge I found 300 lasted me about 8 days I was pumping for 18 years successfully but now on pen due to canula sight failures they were only lasting about 36 hours

I am confused here why you would be on metformin if you are type 1 surely you must be using insulin
