Hi, I’m relatively new to insulin, a few months but I really can’t see any effects on my blood sugar. I’ve titration up to 86 units of toujeo now and I’ve also been given a rapid which I’ve barely used but when I have tried 1 unit to 10 carbs did nothing, 2 nothing, I did 5 , then 10, and then...

I had serum ferritin of 800 and had the genetic test…negative. It is still way over high when they actually test it but I get no treatment and nobody seems concerned. I gave blood but now I am on insulin I can’t

Oh I hear you, I was on semglee then langurs due to supply issues, now on toujeo at 70 units and I don’t see it doing anything…I’m being very low carb and sometimes to keto,levels and I really think it’s THAT that lowers my sugars. I wish there was a clearer picture. I tried trulicity and...

How are you doing now ?

The resolution was that they called, said to reduce my dose from 64 to 57 to avoid hypos (I’m currently still running between 11 and 18 on average, sometimes higher and that’s not eating many carbs) and to only titrate once a week….because it’s stronger (I groaned inwardly when she said that )...

Don’t put a pen back in the fridge once you’ve started using it, this is against manufacturers advise as per the leaflet - I think the big change in temperature from warm room to cold fridge will negatively effect the insulin - so it won’t work the same

Yes I understand….this isn’t the first mistake they have made though…and they ARE making an error

Thankyou everyone, know it’s 1:1 for sure now but indeed my diabetic nurse and a senior and maybe two g.p’s are going with the ‘it’s stronger so take 1/3 the units’ approach. I’m hoping it is resolved soon. It’s been a very unpleasant experience and nobody seems to want to take note of the...

I’m to move to joujeo…is it 1;1

It’s how we are given the results, not 6.2 or whatever

I think Jason fung is brilliant, in these times especially maybe paying for the service he provides is out of bounds...(or at all ) but you can gain so much from his books and internet stuff. He provides a lot for free and the books are easily available and there are forums on Facebook. Using...

Got my hba1c from 55 to 40...reckon it was down to 40 within a month - ketogenic. Absolutely cannot seem to get my blood sugars lower...guess I will have to try some more intermittant/longer fasts as keto isnt QUITE enough despite being VERY compliant

ive gone ketogenic for the past 8 weeks...and ive lost 16lbs ...its included some fasting which I found really easy. its a real revelation for me. I read the obesity code

If I could even try to explain the horrible feeeling of being weightloss resistant - the judgement of others - who think I must be overeating or being a liar! Im kinda increcudlous myself...how is it possible...to eliminate carbs, eat keto, keep well within calorie limits ( but not starved) and...

I have had multiple issues all over my body...tenosynovitis, temporal mandibular joint dysfunction, symphony pubis disorder in pregnancy, knee pain for years that was never diagnosed, biceps tendinitis, rotator cuff (that was caused by calcific tendinitis) and yes for almost a year I've had...

9.1 I'm so dismayed..I know I've only been eating keto for two weeks but my body hasn't noticed

I call my fat 'perma-fat'. I'd survive the apocalypse

8.9 but I woke three hours earlier but went back off.

Thankyou...hopefully it will
