[QUOTE="Fearless36, post: 1513140, member: 421597"] At present I'm injecting once with Lantus, in the morning - but each time I go to the clinic I get told to switch it around. I was told to inject it at night before bed, and did that for a month and then when I returned I got told to do it in the mornings instead. I think the 4-5 x a day is too much for me, and I never had a problem prior with injecting twice a day so really want to get back to 2x a day only. That was far easier and less complicated than the Novorapid and Lantus. At the moment, I feel like things are not improving and just getting worse. Each time I inject Novorapid, I'm having to do 60 plus units. The sugars are still very high despite that. One nurse one time told me that I shouldn't be injecting more than 30 unites at a time - so it gets me crazy with these differing viewpoints and knowing what to trust and distrust. Feels like the hospital I'm at is just useless. Doctor I saw 3 months ago said he was happy to switch me onto a simplier regime of injecting twice a day but nothing has happened. I phoned his secretary chasing and got told to speak to one of the nurses, and I've chased them repeatedly for a month and still nothing. I really feel like they are providing such a bad service. Yet I am unable to do anything to push them into progressing things. My doctor told me that he would arrange for me to be seen on his clinic and nothing to date has yet been arranged. Prior to this I had 30 years of injecting twice a day with no problems. The 4x a day is way too much and too extreme and I feel like there is no support whatsoever from my medical team. If I hadn't had such good control prior to this, I'd probably be thinking this is the normal - but I know it isn't. [/QUOTE]
