I’ve only just managed to get below 15 and I can’t even admit how much insulin that took. 4 more days!

It’s a short course and it’s completely necessary but I’m not sure how to get this right.

Does anyone have any experience with taking these at night to minimize all day high sugar? Thank you

Thank you so much guys.

I have a helpful GP who is willing to give me Humalog in cartridge form but has no idea which pen it is (I hate not hearing the clicks) could someone tell me which pen it is? I think Savvio but there seem to be others. Thank you

I’m not sure why there is another thread but I have to self fund a Dexcom for nocturnal alarms. If you are concerned you could look into this.

The Libre didn’t work for me. It started with poor reading and I had anaphylaxis because of something on the adhesive. Though this was yellow carded I think this is possibly the most important thing happening in the diabetes community at present and I’m so excited for the community. I have...

I’m sorry to say I’ve been ignorant of this. I’m T1 and forever trying to explain that I can’t go into remission because people have confused it with T2. I think I assumed (I know) that because so many people seemed to know about it they would understand it more. Thank you for giving me a...

That’s good to know thank you so much.

Completely nightmarish on novorapid. Since the Humalog now at 1:20! I will never understand this disease Thank you for replying.

I had an emergency DSN appointment on Monday after my ratios were basically 1:1 and was taken off novorapid and put on to Humalog (massive difference already) the nurse was new and told me that you can become tolerant of insulin and that’s what had happened and it happens to lots of people...

Thank you all so much for some reason it was only today that I was able to see responses (I’ve definitely done something wrong) Luckily since things have been cooler things have been much better. Thank you so much for your responses.

I’m so sorry this has been happening. I suffered with this too much and after many hospitalisation I ended up buying the dexcom (I’m not saying this was the easy option as I now have to live the extreme pared back life) but I’m now not in hospital and I’m doing better. I hear great things about...

I’m on a ridiculous medication that causes insulin resistance (before I was on it no issues) since this heat extravaganza my insulin requirements are much higher. Is this okay? I have put a call into my nurse but she is snowed under with other patients. Thank you

Thank you so much. Honestly I'm sitting here at 18 with so much novo on board and your post came at the right time.

Thank you very much. I'm sorry to hear of your conditions. I'm on a very short course but a real control freak!

Unfortunately sometimes the benefits outweigh the risks and with chemo it's very important. It's not ideal but lots of helpful people here.

My Basal is normally 25 and I went to 40 so will up that a little more. Bolus I'm trying so hard with but I ended up using 100u with no change at all. Thank you

Hello, I've been put on Prednisolone for 10 days and I cannot get my blood sugar down from 13 at all. I wonder if there is anyone here that can point me towards some tips for coping on steroids? Thank you so much

Thanks for all the advice. I've managed to prep one now for bed. I'm a slow learner. Thank you
