Hi CarrieB, Thanks for your response. Sorry for the late reply, I did not get any notification? That's great you really like the meter. I hope to get it set up this weekend. Do you link it up to your computer, and if so, is it easy to do? Jamie :-)

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has used the Onetouch VerioIQ glucose meter? I contacted Lifescan who told me about their new meter, and sent me one. It looks, and sounds very good, but I just wanted to get some opinions before I started using it, if possible. Look forward to hearing your...

Thanks, Gary, I appreciate your positive words. Yes, I will look into Novomix 50 more. Thanks for all your help. Have a serene evening. Jamie :-) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi Gary, sorry I didn't get a notification you sent me a new message so apologies for not responding sooner. I was not aware of a Novomix 50. Does this mean it's 50/50 in terms of fast acting and intermediate? I'm not sure about changing my insuin yet. I know Novomix 30 is old compared to...

Hi Gary, thank you for your response. I'm sorry that you're experiencing some hypo's at night. I am absolutely fine at night. I don't take my readings during the night, but before I go to bed they are probably between 5 and 9, and in the morning they are around 6 to 10. I'm fairly happy with...

Hello, I've been using Novomix 30 for 10 years now since I diagnosed in 2003, and I've managed my diabetes quite well, but I'm always open to new things to see if I could improve my readings. I know Novomix 30 is fairly old school now, with many people changing to basal-bolus, but I was...

You're very welcome, Carole. Yes, staying positive is vital. Since I adopted this approach into my daily life I have seen my readings improve significantly. I don't carb count and I'm given a set amount of insulin to take in the morning and evening. It can't give you the flexibility as you would...

Hi Carole, thank you for your message. I’m pleased you’re able to take something from my travelling experience. I’m sorry for the difficulties you had to endure with your diabetes while travelling. I understand taking more injections a day can be taxing, but with a lot of preparation and...

Hello. I was diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes in 2003 when I was 20 years old, and have now lived with the condition for 10 years now. I have always remained on Novomix 30, injecting my self twice a day. While I coped with this condition, it has somewhat held me back from perusing my dreams. Not...

Hello, I hope you're well. At the end of August I will be travelling around the world for the next 10 months and it looks like I will be taking all my insulin with me, using fridges and Frio packs (only while getting to another fridge) for storage. The places I'm going to are USA, New...

Hi, I hope you're all well. My name is Jamie and I have been a type 1 Diabetic for 10 years. I am using the Novomix 30 Flexpen and take 2 injections a day. I am travelling round the world in August and wondered if anyone else has done the same and how they coped with storing and purchasing...
