Posting an evidence based article wasn't enough to sway this lot. To be fair to her she is a nurse so to balance it out a bit she might have been right, but still, i'm a firm believer in low carb diets.

Thank you all for your replies! I do find that after 7pm or when I am fasting I feel much better.

I am pretty sure this is either diabetic related or another chronic illness that has yet to be diagnosed. Does anyone else Struggle with their memory Struggle with their speach Extreme levels of brain fog Misplace items Forget what you where doing while doing something Lose attention when...

I think I over reacted a little bit but I know needles can snap and I wouldn't want that stuck in my stomach forever! It might well be the new needles, if it happens again i'll say something. Haha :smug:

Sure. When I used to use the Novopen 4 I thought the build quality was far superior to the mass produced flexipens. The plunger was built better, there was no wastage in the end of the penfills compared to the flexipens, and I notice a lot of the time with my flexipens sometimes when I plunge...

Im using a flexpen and wish I was still on Penfills. I have requested it from my GP, still waiting.
