Hello pals. I'm a Type 1 (23 y/o), really well controlled (last Hba1c was 7%) and I'm having some issues with very high blood sugars. I went to the out-of-hours last night because I suspected I had a kidney infection - intermittent flank pain, extreme fatigue) - but the urine test didn't show...

I am 25 years old and for the past 3 or 4 years my sugars have run too high, with my a1c level at 9-10 each checkup. which is definitely my fault for not taking care of myself well. ..but I find it hard to remember and stay focused on checking my sugars multiple times a day. I want to get a...

Good morning everyone! I hope that you are all very well today and that you levels are on point!! During DAFNE course, we were told that Levemir lasts for 16-18 hours average. I am wondering, however, is there a possibility (depending on the dosage) that it can finish earlier than 16 hours...
