    Undiagnosed T1 - advice needed!

    Hi Everyone I would really appreciate some advice! So it turns out I was misdiagnosed as T2 8 years ago and I am actually T1. Trying not to dwell on the late diagnosis side of things and just want to move forward! I have been on insulin previously during pregnancy as Metformin never agreed...

    The perfect insulin pen...?

    Hi All! I'm a T1 Diabetic of 30+ years. I don't have a pump for a variety of reasons (let's just say it's not a good option for me) so I use pens. At the moment I have the HumaPen Luxura HD from Lilly for my bolus, which allows you to dose in half units as I'm very sensitive to insulin. My...

    Finally figured it out!

    Ok, so I have been on Lantus and Humalog for some time now, possibly coming up to 5 years.

    How fast is fast-acting meant to be?

    I'm a T1 on Humalog (and Levemir) and have been for a few years. I was put on it after using Novorapid for some years and prior to that Actrapid. But whatever 'fast-acting' insulin I use, it seems to take hours, not minutes, to start to work. Does anyone else find this? My consultant is adamant...
