No i am not. I can feel the hypo.

Hey guys yesterday i went to a concert and i injected my basal insulin there !!! Next challege is to eat out to a restaurant!!!

I don't have any problem injecting in public i just feel safer injecting home. For example, when i go out at night and i have to take insulin at a bar or cinema i have a fear that i will get a hypo.

When i have to inject insulin in bars, clubs anywhere outside of my house. I used to be extra cautious about my diabetes staying most of the time at home but i am really tired of it. I wanna travel go out at night without thinking the injections i have to do or the hypos that may have. My...

Hello guys i have a stupid phobia but i cant rationalize it. I am afraid to inject insulin(especially the basal) when i go out but when i am at home i dont have that fear. Does it make sense?

Thank you both of you for your answers!!!

Hello guys, i am planning two trips: the first one is in Athens 500 kilometres away from my home(same timezone with my home) and Amsterdam(-1 hour different from my home timezone) and i am injecting daily lantus(24 hour basal insulin once per day) and novorapid(bolus) every time i eat. Should i...

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4206005/ "The peak incidence of nephropathy is 10 to 20 years after diabetes onset and then it occurs as a progressive decrease. So that if the patients spent more than 30 years of his illness and still be normoalbuminuric, it likely to decrease...

Hello, i have read articles that if you did not have proteinouria for the first twenty years of diabetes the probability to get nephropathy in the future is very little. Is this true?

Hello, I want to travel abroad for some months. I am injecting my long-acting insulin(24 hour lantus) at a specific time(23:30 Greek timezone). If I travel to a country which has two hours difference from my country timezone should i inject my insulin at my country's timezone(23:30 Greek...

So i am planning a cruize trip for a whole day. If i store my used insulins from fridge to my frio cooling wallet i would not face any problems with insulins? I would store the frio case in the shade.

What i observed is that insulins that i have injected right out of the fridge are more painful and that they can be issues related to mechanic parts of insulin. Of course if you are careful i dont think you will face any problems.

Anyway, i think that storing opened insulin it's kind of grey area. To be honest i never had any problems with stored used insulins in the fridge and i have been using them more than 10 years . But i find it weird that novorapid has different guidelines than lantus about storing used insulins.

I am sorry , i did not understand your answer.

Why you are ironic? I asked i think an important question.

Hello, I have been using novorapid and lantus pens for more than 10 years. All these years I have been keeping the used novorapid and lantus insulins in the fridge. Just few days ago i learned that opened lantus should be kept in room temperatures and not in the fridge but with novorapid flex...

Hello, I went out for hours and I took the insulin with me(lantus+novorapid) stored in my bag. At home, I store opened insulins in the refrigerator. Will this change in temperature decrease insulin quality? Also is it possible the decreased quality of insulin due to temperature change can...

Thank you i really like this BERTIE online course

Hello, I have been type 1 diabetic for 20 years but I havent learned about carb counting. I mostly used gramms to calculate novorapid units. For example Morning : 100 gr bread + a glass of milk ( I inject 6 units novorapid) Lunch: 400 gr carbs(macaronni, rice, potatoes e.t.c.)+ 100 gr meat or...
