Started on a pump with insulin!

Thanks so much guys. Slowly the problems are reducing and I just hope they solve the problem soon! It's been great here with the support.

I normally eat a snack before bed, but my nurse will be in touch tomorrow morning. I have started to write down the levels and the times as well.

Novamix, humalog, novarapid and lantus have all given me lumps, really red and they stay for 3 days, sometimes it was hard to find a new spot to inject. That doesn't sound good though Gaz-M. Glad your problem was solved.

Oh well you're doing great then too! I didn't know it would take more than a month. Yeh definitely safer, I agree. I'm not too worried though after reading a lot of information on here and other sites, I feel more relaxed. I had to remind myself not to take Lantus and for once I felt relaxed. Good luck to you!

and to you it is taking me a long time I know not to many lows or highs but wanting it just right. Maybe it is me expecting to much to fast

good luck to you too

Maybe...I was told though that it will take time and not to expect anything too much.

I don't know if this will help but I write poetry to express my feelings, hope it encourages you. This is a new 1 that I wrote, and sometimes I refer to it to help me.


To pray for something

That is much needed.

Receiving it, a surprise,

One wonders is this real?

Reaching out, you touch it,

Finding it’s real.

Emotions run so high, so fast.

What is it you feel?

How do you feel?

Happy, sad, content, angry, anxious

Screaming to the ends of the earth.

Next day, you realize,

This whole time you wanted this.

Hard to believe,

But forced to accept,

Tears of joy flow.

Realisations of this hits hard.

Prayers, answered after

Long periods of waiting.

You start to smile,

No longer a prisoner to the emotions.

Freedom, you walk with pride and joy.

One step at a time,

Trusting in these prayers.

Thank you. Very true!
