[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 2109162, member: 101136"] Hi [USER=160151]@busydiabeticmum[/USER] , If you drive? You should inform DVLA regarding your new medication use. (Insulin.) Yes, you should test. DVLA legislation requires you to test. (If a driver.) Ok, where you are injecting your insulin, I don't see any issue. (I use lantus & novo.) You mentioned you have gotten the insulin from your D team? How have they stored it?? There seems to be a misconception that exogenous insulin only works in the presence of carbs?! Ideally, you should find a better diabetic health care provider. (From what I can read from your comments.) It's early days for you starting out on insulin. With the aid of your meter, start at the "foundation" & look at what your basal (lantus) is doing first. Preferably with a fresh batch from the chemist...? [URL]https://mysugr.com/basal-rate-testing/[/URL] Going back to wondering how your issued temp supply of insulin issued, was stored by your current team.. (till you get a script from a dispensing chemist.) Be carful of your upped dosage if the current pen has gone off...? The newer stuff may be more potent..? [/QUOTE]
