[QUOTE="loopy-loo, post: 6227, member: 6118"] Hi fergus, Hopefully one day you will manage to convert them! Surely, when they see how well you manage your bs' levels they realise the madness!? Glad that the humulin s seems to be working out ok for you, I always struggle to inject 40mins before eating, I think the closest I ever get is 20mins, which is a major feat of forward planning for me! Still yet to receive my new insulins as the DSN was poorly, but think I will probably concentrate on the switch from insulutard to detimir for a few weeks before i start fiddling with the bolus! Already split my basal dose and was hoping to loose one of the injections but have been told that this is unlikely with detimir - oh well. :? Good suggestion for keeping both the humulin S and novorapid going, will probably do that, but have found with the humulin S that you can have a hypo 'out of nowhere' just because it last that much longer. Also, have asked for a half dose pen for the novorapid, (don't know if I'll get it yet) and would have to ask for another for the humulin as it's lilly, already feel like I'm a major drain on the nhs with my 10 test stips a day! Will have to save that one up. :) ps, can i ask - as you follow a low carb diet - do you eat tomatoes? Sorry if thats a bit random, I know Dr B's book says to give them a miss, but I'm really missing bolognaise :roll: I've only been following the diet for nearly two weeks now, dont mind not having the pasta, bread and potatoes, feel so much better, but would kill for a tin of toms!
