[QUOTE="Metalmama, post: 1876996, member: 28157"] Hi All, I've had quite a nightmare changing from beef to analogue, started the changeover in December last year, and have been on 4 different insulins. Humalog is taking hours to work, usually 4 hours and not the 15-20 minutes. Last week it took 6.5 hours. Have stopped eating carbs as a result and am on a minimal amount. Also, so much of my hair has fallen out from using it. Seen online, it happens: [URL]https://www.ehealthme.com/ds/humalog/hair-loss/[/URL] My DSN has put me onto Novorapid, as it has a longer duration time this is my fifth change. I'm a single parent, scared and have no support as the previous changes have really taken it out of me. I am also on Tresiba 18.5 units which suits me just fine. Been told to start on 1.5 units per meal and go up a unit after a week. Got no support here, DSN said to wait until she was back from her holiday and then rang and said to just start it and had no idea what dose I should take but go by that. I have been told that it is taking so long as I have had Type 1 for 45 years. I rang Diabetes UK and they said that was not true. Does anyone know? Does anyone have any advice on a smooth transition as every one has really affected me quite badly. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
