I was doing very well last year.
On a premix insulin. Novolin 40/60. At 60 and 65 units a day.
I was meeting most of the set goals. I wasn't ravenous.
I ate regularly. I did not need to reuse tips as I have only 2 and the premix insulin was injected twice a day. I wasn't getting hypos.
And in our Dec. discussion my Dr said nothing needs fixed as in if it works why fix it. So we agreed nothing needs changed.
Then wam. That insulin was discontinued.
And he put me on glargune again. (Basaglar). And trurapi.
Then all the awful hunger began again so I requested ozempic.
But the point being --
How do I convince him to prescribe a premix? There are still some being made. I called some pharmacies to check.
( he wasn't the prescriber of the premix originally but that Dr was a walk in one who I would likely never talk to again as it depends on what Dr is working when u go).
