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

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 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...

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

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

Does anyone know whether they NEED to be in the foil until used? I've cut my fingers up scrabbling for one in the night. I'm a wimp and used to 50 in a container.

I cannot in any way afford this lifestyle but after some scary lows and a further diagnosis I did as the DSN suggested and got the starter pack. I am so surprised at how painless it was. I know I've got to give it 24hrs to settle in (well I hope that's the case as at the minute it is wildly...

Last night for no apparent reason I started dropping got to the stage of eating 100g of carbs and still dropping. 1.9 called 999 as live alone and couldn't really move (too busy so would be an hour) so called a friend and after 3 hours was sorted. Rang my GP today to say despite them not...

I've been prescribed a drug for sleeping and have started to have insulin resistance. I've spoken to my nurse and it's common but I've got to decide what to do. Has anyone had this experience?

Hi, For about a month I have been doubling my exercise (extra sessions at the gym thanks to work) yet my C:I ratios have gone up from 1:10 to 1:5. I've got an appointment with my nurse next week who is not especially worried and she mentioned that novorapid is not working in a lot of people...

Saw the nurse today who took my lantus and novorapid off me and prescribed me fresh from the hospital dispensary. Apparently independent pharmacies have been importing these and for some reason they have come with a myriad of problems including stiff pens, stinging more than normal, less...

I've unfortunately got a spot of shingles and wondered if anyone knew as the BNF doesn't mention it but lots of other sources do. Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

I was diagnosed yesterday. At my recent opthamology appointment there was a spot hemmorhage in my eye near my macular. I am wondering if now I am diagnosed and (hopefully) getting under control this will resolve or at least no more will occur. Is this hopeful or likely. Thank you for your time.

28 and female. Completely thrown in at the deep end. Thought I could only be type 2 at my age, apparently not. Literally just got home from a hospital DKA stay and have no idea how to do my insulin as the NHS weren't excellent. They usually are! Novorapid and lantus are my new buddies and...
