Thank you so much When do you usually exercise? And do you do it at the same time every day? Xx

It's a fairly new pen, so hopefully that's not the problem. I'm hoping it's not an illness coming, with everything going on that makes me nervous

About an hour ago and my blood has since risen to 12 Thank you for replying xxx

I've had 10 units of Apidra and it just won't move

Yeah my weight seems to be up a few kilos which isn't helping the way I feel for sure. Thank you for your reply xxx

I'm definitely doing a lot less. I work in a restaurant so am usually on my feet/walking around 10-12 hours a day. Being in isolation has meant a lot of sitting around & slight weight gain despite not eating any more than usual. I think I will have to try a basal test to see if that helps. I've...

Apidra. At the minute I'm not finding any of them particularly effective. I do and they still refuse to budge. I just don't understand what's going wrong Thank you so much for your reply xx

Hi all, I am at my wits end and I don't know what to do. My blood sugars are hardly in target anymore and I can't get them to come down and I just don't understand why. I've increased my Lantus steadily - I'm now 6 units more than I used to be and it's doing nothing. My bloods won't...

Often during the night when my lantus was in my stomach, I would go into hypo. Since trying in my leg, it hasn't really happened so that's a plus. I upped my dosage today, I injected 22 units in my leg and that seems to be working okay. But then I got a lump under the skin when I injected, and...

I usually take 1 dose of 18 units every morning. Did you find you needed to increase your dosage in your leg?

I'm not sure what a basal test is :banghead::facepalm:

Hello, I've recently tried taking my lantus in my leg instead of my stomach because of the lumps it creates under my skin (no idea why it does this) - however since then I have found my blood sugars are pretty consistently high even when I've taken a lot of Apidra. Is it better to keep my...

Thank you so much for all of your suggestions [emoji177]

This is the frustrating thing, there's always so many variables that it seems impossible to pin point the problem. I think I've been using my Apidra pen for more than a month, I always inject in my stomach, I have a bit of a cold, my routine has changed - I feel like it could be any of these...

I take 18 units of Lantus in a morning and usually wake up in the 5s. I check my blood sugar before meals and two hours afterwards. I'm in Brazil at the minute but eating exactly the same as I did at home (I brought food with me). The only difference is getting up earlier, but I don't know how...

Two hours after lunch and I'm at 10! After three units of insulin. I have no idea at all what's going on but it's beyond frustrating.

Hi all, The last few days has been a rollercoaster in terms of my numbers. Monday & today, I woke up with BG in the 6s. Both days I had the same breakfast, I took 1 unit to cover it on Monday, and ended up in the 9s. So today, I took 2, and still ended up in the 9s. Based on my I:C ratio, 2...

Thank you everyone! I usually take my Lantus around 11am. I work in a restaurant so some evenings I'm only getting to eat my tea around 10. I thought this might be the issue, but when I'm at work I don't have a choice but to eat late. That's why I've been trying to take extra insulin than I...

Desperately hoping someone can help with this because I'm at my wits end! Recently my Lantus was reduced from 20 units in a morning to 18. Now during the day this is fine, I rarely have problems. Night time however is a whole different issue! Tonight I took more insulin than carbs counted. 2...
