Thanks. If that's what happens with a change of insulin over Christmas and new year with little training I can't wait to see what the next one is like [emoji16]

I switched to Levemir split over 2 injections a day. I've managed to lower my hba1c from 62 last July down to 49 last week. That just over 2 months on the new regime. So hopefully the next will be even better.

Each case is different just because you were induced early with your first doesn't mean you will need to with your second. If your bloods are ok and baby is ok why rush them out? I was induced at 38 weeks with my first because it was the done thing. With my second the on asked why? He was...

Went and had a look. They were easy to find. https://www.diabetes.co.uk/shop/pens

I can't remember where I saw it. Might have been on the shop on the diabetes.co.uk website or diabetes.org You can get a device that fits onto the end of your pen that works as a reminder for when you last took your insulin if I remember correctly it was a flat electronic display. Would this be...

When I was last in labour 16years ago. They put me on a glucose and insulin drip and tested my blood frequently. I was t interested in eating during labour but they did take let me have afterwards then took it away when there was a chance I had to go for an op. You said there was a chance...

Hi Jokara I am on Levemir and Novorapid. I have split doses of Levemir so I am on 16 at 9am and 10 in the evening. I take Novorapid 3/4 times a day depending on when I eat. Speak to a specialist about splitting your Levemir into 2 injections

I'm with Tilly_S here. Everything looks normal. They should've left it at that instead of scathing you with if buts and maybes. Try your best to relax and see what they say in 5 weeks. Btw congratulations.

And I can see other groups having a fit at full fat yogurt (why can't I find this in the uk?) butter and coconut oil [emoji23]

I've had pens jam but they were getting old. Personally I don't use the levemir pens.

He's 16 and got hormones like any other teenager and then his diabetes on top. It's a lot to deal with. Employers have a duty of care. I've always been open with my employers and manager even my karate instructor. Everyone has been understanding and people ask question so they have an...

If I've had a result that high it was because I forgot to take my injection and eaten something sweet.

I mind the days when you had to buy a box of syringes. The wholesaler needs to work to get the product cheaper. Maybe more people will use it.

They do like to put people in boxes don't they. Everything will influence how your body works. Just need to eat right exercise and accept we're not all stick thin [emoji3]

I should say that the dr I saw at the end of the clinic running late and tired. When I said I have a home made granola she jumped on the sugar content. Even though I only use 5 tablespoons per batch which works out at 2.5 to 3ml of maple syrup per serving as far as they were concerned it was a...

The karate example was just this weeks example. I was on holiday and travelling at silly times so was up at 2 and 4 in the morning and good blood sugars. Even speaking to the diabetic nurse several months ago suggested cutting down my Lantus to get rid of the morning highs. It's just recently...

Taking at night. Was never given an option for doing it in the morning.

That is shocking. Ignorance about what a condition is is not an excuse diabetics do not just need some sugar to survive.

Hi Just been to see the diabetic team today. My Hba1c was 58. My before bed bloods are running a bit high and I'm getting the same in the morning. The thing is when I've tested my blood during the night they've been good readings. I even went to bed with a blood of 14.8 (high I know but I'd...

Yip. I've done that was so tired one morning and grabbed the wrong pen I was that tired. (Yes I was using 2 different types of pens with very different cases). Took my Lantus in the morning normal dose. I had breakfast but no Novorapid and phoned the diabetic clinic. Was advised to monitor...
