Ok thank you, I’ll give that a try.

I’m now on Lyumjev pre-filled pens. Only concern is there are air bubbles in the insulin and plungers don’t work too well…. Should I be worried?

Very wise! So sorry that you got it and have been ill but thank you for sharing.

Yes, thank you. I’m guessing you’re younger than me though if you have a 4 year old so it would be great to hear from any over 50’s who’ve experienced Covid. So sorry you’ve been through that but I really appreciate you sharing your experience. Thank you.

FULLY VACCINATED TYPE 1 - can anyone share their experience of catching Covid after being fully vaccinated please? I’ve searched on this group and can only see old posts re vaccination. My consultant has “advised caution for all those with diabetes” and that “people with diabetes have a higher...

Had AZ on Friday 5th March. Terrible headache Friday night and fever and shakes all night, felt awful. Temperature too. Managed to get out of bed about 1:30 Saturday and gradually started feeling better. Now Monday 8th: Still got a temp but better than I was. Normally very well controlled levels...

I’d rather avoid waking up with a hypo at stupid-o’clock. I normally have my Lantus in the morning I’m going to brave it out and see what happens. Just so weird not having any insulin

Hi, I’ve just received a new batch of sensors but they still have the old glue on them. I can tell because I react very badly to the glue and my arm is itching like mad. I did read that someone squirted pirinase on their arm then used a barrier wipe. I’ve tried it but it hasn’t worked. I also...
