    A question for insulin pen users

    @andyasw how many needles do you get at a time? I do multiple injections a day and find putting a new needle on takes seconds.

    Libre 3 Multiple failures

    @mgil I see you are in the US you must have a different factory supplier and call Center for help. In all the seven plus years I’ve been using I can count on one hand the errors/falling off that I have had. And on the occasions I have rung for help not waited in a queue and always been dealt...

    Insulin Sensitivity

    I’ve been diagnosed twelve years. Never being told or heard of this formula. I would suspect this was from the days before CGMs and when we didn’t count carbohydrates. Nowadays we work out our own needs, adjust regularly and tend to eat what we want when we want and carb count. Or at least I do...

    Needle failure

    Yes I thought this. Did two unsuccessful shots then just ditched it. Replacement fine. I remember having one such incident before in the middle of the night. Luckily I do switch my phone light on to check.

    Needle failure

    Just had a screw on needle fail to produce any insulin this morning. I always think what a waste when doing a flow test but it just proves how important they are.

    I had an issue some years ago and started spraying Cavillon before applying. It worked a treat.

    Weight loss Type 1

    Hi @Emily[emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]]][emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]] my main take on your post would be that actually you are not eating enough calories. If that amount is your daily intake then your body will think it is being starved and go into a sort...

    Type 1'stars R Us

    I have just tried to reply to you Tony using the website as numbers do not work on the forum. I have lost the will. It then lost everything. So here goes with words Six units of Tresiba the vial I change after three weeks as it loses efficacy. Fiasp I get through a Three hundred unit pen in...

    Novorapid frustration

    Rob it is interesting when you say your Levemir lasts five weeks. My Tresiba would last at least that long and it does say on the packet it will be good for six weeks. However, as time went on I realised, yes it keeps working, but a lot less efficiently. I was injecting lots of Fiasp to correct...

    Libre 2 Plus sensors not lasting 15 days on a regular basis

    So far so good. All lasted the full time. Been on them nearly a year now.

    Novorapid frustration

    Hi Rob. Whenever I have ridiculous unexplained results I change the insulin vial. Just had to do the same with my Tresiba. After two days of banging my head against the wall I realised it was losing its efficacy. A couple of days into the new vial normal service resumed.

    Alternative to humalog

    @Lakeslover I use my I pad and go direct into the forum app I downloaded when I first joined.

    Alternative to humalog

    It does this via the forum rather than web site. Hugely irritating! As I prefer to use the forum I get round it by just typing out the numbers in word form. For yourself posting dosages it may be easier to log on via the actual website to save time and make it clearer.

    Cgm sensor skin issues

    When I had a very bad problem about four years ago the hospital recommended Cavillon spray. Worked immediately. Just be careful where you are when spraying as it’s like plastic and doesn’t come off. Still have spots on my bathroom mirror. I know longer have an issue. Touch wood!

    Unexpected Appointment

    Well, all went well. A really lovely man. Very supportive and complimentary. Young and enthusiastic. Basically told me to just continue doing what I’m doing as results are excellent. Did find out my HbA[emoji637]c when diagnosed. One hundred and ten. No wonder I felt ill.

    Unexpected Appointment

    Not been yet Tony. It’s this morning. Will let you know. He sounded great and very up to date on the phone last year. I was in clinic to do a trial earlier this year and the nurse said he was lovely.
