    Thanks for the reply. I'm going away and won't be able to wash hands at every BG test so she has said to get these to carry with me. What sort of barrier spray do you use? Sent from my SM-G920F using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

    How many insulin pens do you get?

    Hi all I've just gone onto insulin and after finally getting my prescription from the Dr I find that she has issued me with 1 kwikpen to last 2 weeks which will probably last me 1 week as I am still finding the right level and I am on 24/20 at the moment. Is this normal or are you supposed to...

    Now on insulin.

    This is the first time for me on insulin and I started on 16 units in morning and 12 before tea, just had to up each by 4 units until I get into the range that my nurse wants me to be in. I am already starting to feel more like my old self. It is a bit daunting at first and a lot to take in but...

    Now on insulin.

    Hi all Well I have now seen the nurse at the hospital and she has stopped the tablets and put me on insulin ( Humulin M3 twice a day ). It was a bit of a shock to start with even though I was told it would happen eventually but I have to live with it and make the adjustment to my life. Sent...

    Metformin & Diarrhoea

    Tried both metformin and the SR version and could not tolerate either. 5 years of the trots was not nice especially as I have stomach problems anyway, now trying other meds. Hope you are ok on them. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

    Just being nosey - where is everyone from

    Born in Leeds sold house 4 year ago and moved to York where my good lady is from when my eldest son was ready to start school. More relaxed and a better area to bring my boys up as I have seen Leeds change over the years and didn't like it anymore. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App
