It is like any insulin I had ..... works great for a week or two then becomes very erratic in it's functioning. My carb counting was introduced recently and started to look ok but unfortunately now it isn't working again. Also I always feel ****... and don't sleep ... is this because of my blood sugars going up and down? If my legs stay on and I could feel normal one day a week for a start... then I can hope for better things. However at the moment my foot is numb and I have no energy at all. I had two hypos last night again, I had two hyper attacks today meaning I'm lethargic as hell at work... nothing new... just wish it would change :| I get frustrated when times get like this, as they have been better, but only for short spells. Anyway I have some more questions... which include the one above in the hope someone can give me some advice. I've asked to be referred to the diabetic clinic but I need to be sure of what to ask for and what to discuss when I go:-
Does anyone here think I could be allergic to GM human insulin? Need to get to the bottom of this so I can start living a normal life. Also did I hear somebody was on an insulin pump with animal insulin? I can't remember who it was on this forum but if they read this can they hold their hand up and wave it at me thanks
Also has anyone switched from injections to pump? If so have you found this good or bad or is there any advice you can give me about this? Are you able to be flexible and have last minute snacks and adjust your insulin?...
Another question... sometimes when I inject it hurts like hell and spurts out blood in my arms or legs? Is this normal or has anyone else experienced this (I'm on Novafine needles number 6 with Novapen) ... it doesn't happen daily but just occasionally but I hate it when it does.
Thanks people....... Rachael x
