[QUOTE="xxxleonadxxx, post: 174254, member: 8639"] Hi there, thanks for your replies. Yes Cugila, the desensitisation therapy has been threatened for a while now, however it is fraught with red tape and has taken so long to get off the ground. My PCT had to prove that all other options had been exhausted .... which they have been. My lantus dose is not part of that therapy, I have not yet started. This will be done inconjunction with another hospital and my anaphylaxis specialist. In answers to some other questions: No I am not severely overweight, like everyone else I could lose a few pounds though lol. I had gained LOTS of weight previously but have now lost, through good diet and exercise, and now maintain a curent healthy size. i do not hang myself up on what I way but more on my measurements. I am 5 ft 7 and size 14-16. My endo is more than happy with that :D as am I x Insulins, I have tried them all. even u500. None of them are any use. I have a severe allergic reaction to all. I have an underactive thyroid but thats about the limit of my ailments now (except for the diabetes lol) :D As I say my diet is balanced, lots of fresh veg and I don't no carb, I low carb lol I take in roughly 1000 - 1500 calories a day (done effortlesly by sticking to my meal plans) I can't answer why I am on the dose I am ..... but re-iterate that I do trust my health team .... I s'pose in fairness if I didn't take the lantus there's probably nothing else they can offer me. I am very grateful for the advice on the boards, its always good to have a fresh pair of eyes, and ears lol ...... i've learnt so much by reading these boards :D [/QUOTE]
