    Tresiba bruising

    I changed to tresiba last week after using insulatard for 32 years. I inject once a day into my thighs but I find I'm bruising nearly every time. I only got the very occasional bruise when I was using insulatard. Any ideas?

    Tresiba

    I've been taking it since Tuesday. I'm on 25 units, reduced it to 24 last night but still having a lot of lows today. Think I'll try 22 tonight and see how that goes.

    Test results

    I had my bloods and urine samples taken last week for my annual review. I'm in Scotland so have access to my results through 'my diabetes my way'.

    Type 1 Insomnia/Menopause

    Hi All, I'm 48 and have been perimenopausal for a couple of years. I just wondered how people deal with insomnia (I never had any trouble sleeping until recently and have been told that this is a symptom of the menopause). Sleeping pills are obviously not advisable for people with diabetes so...
