[QUOTE="LoisCoxx, post: 2287774, member: 39063"] Thank you SO much for all your kind words, advice and encouragement. It is a relief to know that 1. I'm not going mad and 2. That there are others in seemingly very similar situations. I think those who are suggesting a referral to immunology are on to something and I will contact my diabetes team in regards to this. The reactions do seem to be getting worse with each new insulin albeit sometimes being able to be on an insulin for years without reaction... And I am concerned as I was wheezy during my last reaction which indicates respiratory involvement and is all very scary. I'm in Bristol so my diabetes is managed by a large tertiary centre - which also happens to be the trust I am employed as a nurse. I do find it incredibly frustrating not being listened to and having my concerns minimised. I had asked about animal insulin in the past and was told that this isn't prescribed any more so interesting that a few of you are on it! I have a bit of a mental block on having a pump as I'm just so used to doing injections - maybe stuck in my ways... and i've trialled a pump in the past and don't enjoy having it attached to me all the time. But of course, if this is the only way forward then I'd be open to it. I'm currently on a dexcom years trial (as part of a medical technology study) and it's been a godsend when getting used to multiple new insulins as it drives my sugars crazy. This is ending soon and I'll be back to libre. Thanks again, it's very refreshing! Lois x [/QUOTE]
