[QUOTE="Grkify, post: 737022, member: 154842"] I am on humilog kwik pen for mealtime bolus working really well for me. Took a week or so for my body to start to process it. Diabetic nurse said that it would take a while was like breaking down a wall then I wouldn't need as much as my body wasnt used to processing blood sugar on the disposable pens rather than the refillable ones as heard that refillable ones can be fragile and my bags always getting chucked about last thing I need when at work is to break a pen as can be 50 plus miles from home. As much as I understand the logic of e prescriptions, I would love to be able to pick up my prescription on a piece of paper and take it to any pharmacy I fancy when I am near one. The only reason I believe it to be the metformin is that once it was changed back it sorted its self out again. At the time my surgery was dealing with my diabetes rather than the hospital and I guess its like having a jack of all trades decorating your house they can do it but its not going to be like getting a professional painter in. Being dealt with by specialist in diabetes in young adults now and have to go see her once a month. So at the moment slowly learning to carb count its kinda guess work at the moment as body still all over the place with processing the insulin but doing fairly well hitting the targets I have been set 75% of the time 4-7 pre meal 4-9 2 hours post meal. Keeping a very close eye on my blood sugar. Was in hospital new years with keitonacidosis worst experience of my life and one that I never want to relive. Just waiting to hear back from DVLA about my license and praying they dont revoke it, as if they do I am effectively jobless [/QUOTE]
