I am type 1.5 LADA for last 18 months.
I take 7 units of basal insulin once a day using Levemir Flexi Pen and have been generally been feeling fine for the past year since using it.
I keep it in the fridge until I need a new one and then discard after a month
Last week I felt really weird, really hard to describe. Couldn't think straight, was really intolerant of family and felt a bit like a space cadet.
I didn't check my BS during this period. Stupid, I know.
Then I changed my pen and the next day returned back to normal (whatever that is!). I felt this once in the early days of injecting and am wondering if there could be a link. My BS has been OK since changing the pen.
Could it just be coincidence? Can the insulin go 'off' ?
Would appreciate a view from others who may have had similar experiences with this pen or basal insulin only/1.5 diabetics.
regards,
Chris
