[QUOTE="doogyrev, post: 88742, member: 21194"] hi - wow what a lot of response - so nice to know I am not on my own with all of this- I have thought it was me and that Iwas doing something wrong which in turn just made things more difficult. I have spoken to a diabetic nurse who has suggested I try levimir and has put a pen out for me to pick up tomorrow. Because of all my problems I am worried as I understand I will have to probably use more levimir than lantus but too be honest my bm's are so high anyway. From all your comments I am wondering about porcine or bovine insulin this has never been offered as I am sure i was told that lots of people had side effects to it - sounds funny really seeing as what the side effects are for lantus. is that available as a long lasting insulin too? As I am on novorapid does the porcine or bovine short acting all work in same way and surely it must be better to do one at a time. My diabetic nurse told me today to just wait until my pump date comes along then I will be off long lasting insulin anyway - but in the meantime to try levimir. i wish i had found this site such a long time ago just knowing other people have troubles too helps!! I dont like it that other people have problems but at least I am not an isolated case. all this help and advice is so gratefully received, many thanks lol xxx [/QUOTE]
