[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 2199175, member: 68789"] Hi [USER=518654]@rbabyblue[/USER], I hope the last, tough, but phew it’s all done now, part of your finals went well. What were you studying? What insulin are you taking now? Insulins have different action profiles; it might be worth your while checking these out online before you see your doctor so you’ve an idea of which basal and which bolus insulins might suit you best. I had a horrid time for a while with nighttime hypos but these wretched sessions became a thing of the past when I changed basal from Lantus to Levemir - I don’t know if the brand names are the same in Morocco. I inject Levemir twice a day and my daytime dose differs from my nighttime one. However, don’t be guided by what I take, I can’t tell you what’s best for you. We’re all different. Enough of me, back to you. I’m not at all surprised that you want to avoid devastating hypos, they’re the devil’s children! I don’t think people who’ve not experienced them can fully understand the way they make you feel threatened by mortality. Your decision to try to get hold of a libre in the U.K. is a good step but you’ll also need a supplier to maintain provision of the sensors. Each sensor lasts 14 days. It’s possible to order the sensors and the reader direct from Abbott so you may not have to wait until you come to the UK - you don’t need to be fitted for them, just follow the instructions. I did this myself when I began to use them. I hope the appointment with your doctor’s fruitful, and your future’s rosy. [/QUOTE]
