Wasnt sure where to put this but just been put on insulin & had a prescription for 4mm needles but chemist only had 6mm will this make any difference?

When i spoke to the diabetic nurse last weds who made the app for may she said its likely I will go on insulin when i see her so hopefully that still applies tomorrow, we no longer have a diabetic nurse at our surgery so we have to go out to satellite clinics at the moment & its them who will...

spent last night at A&E bs 34, came down so no treatment, went to see gp this morning with bs 21 so she sent me back to a&e, put me on fluids which made no difference but doc did manage to push my diabetic clinic appointment forwards so I see them tomorrow instead of May! I've not taken any...

is it true that they are almost painless?

yes levels are low but dont know the exact level

I've always had the sr so it was strange why it started so long after, I know very little about insulin, the only thing I know is that there is a a slow release type that drips into your system & one that you use at mealtimes as fast acting but thats it

I was on metformin & was fine with it for a good 4 years or so but a few months back it started crippling my digestive system so had to stop

Yes I do, stupid thing as well i ate a couple of biscuits on saturday & BS didnt go any higher than what they are when eating almost no carbs, they have been hovering around the 16-25 mark over the last week or so as I have had a sinus infection which hasnt helped

I know this sounds a bit strange but I have decided that I would like to go onto insulin, the meds I am on just dont seem to be doing much, 10mg dapagflozin, I was on 80mg of gliclazide but my GP put that up to 120mg last monday & the diabetic nurse I spoke to today over the phone increased it...

Is there a protocol that health professionals follow when starting you on insulin or does is vary? just wondering what to expect?

Wasnt quite sure how to word the title but for those that have gone from meds to insulin (type2) what happens from the point that you are sat in GP office & meds no longer work, I'm not happy about having my meds increased but i get that might happen before insulin, currently on 80mg gliclazide...

Hi Diagnosed type 2 6 years ago, initially on meds but after low carbing I went down to 1 metformin a day, 18 months ago my bg levels started to increase for no reason & despite eating less than 20gms carbs per day I am now averaging between 10-12 mol during the dayI've had my meds increased &...

No, only received the letter of Friday, the letter just said that the test showed signs of diabetic maculopathy & that it needed to be checked further, now waiting for an appointment for the hospital

Yes I do, prior to low carb I was running between 16-20 mmol (sometimes higher) this last week I have dropped to between 10-16mmol, its not dropping dramatically as I have only been decreasing the carbs slowly as I am on a couple of types of meds (gliclazide/dapagflozin) I didn't want to go...

Thank you, no I was just wondering if when I go to the referral appointment at the hospital if they would take into account the recent introduction of the low carb diet or if they would just discount it & book treatment etc

Hi All I had to go off my low carb plan for a few months last year (long story) but have been back on the plan for 6 weeks, I had my eye screening last week & received a letter on Friday advising me that I am being referred to the hospital for further checks as my eyes are showing signs of...

ok folks I have bought one of these & really need some inspiration for what to put in it! As I have a gastric band I can only eat small amounts, this causes a few problems at weekends when we are out & about as I can barely eat a starter portion of anything so I have decided to take my lunch...
