[QUOTE="foxyccc, post: 348526, member: 47427"] Thank you all for your replies. It is going to be a nuisance to have to inject myself every night, but I guess it is just something that you get used to. I did manage the bydureon injection myself but I still have a large lump where the injection was, even the nurse was surprised it was so large after five weeks! Will I end up with a big lumpy tummy if it takes so long for the lump to go down! Fingers crossed that the insulin lowers my blood glucose a little so I can get some more energy! Good luck Scottish Jim - looks like we are both starting insulin on Monday and neither of us got on with Bydureon! Will blood test more next week after starting insulin so I can monitor my glucose levels, the nurse wants to get my morning level to 8.00 rather than between 9 and 10 where it is now. I am pleased the nurse says we can go slowly slowly to get used to the insulin. My body seems to blow a gasket at normal drug regimes as I have ME. The Doctor says I have a double whammy as I have two diseases to cope with the Diabetes and the ME. I am hoping to get the Diabetes under better control so my health improves generally. I like the Marie Curie quote Ewelina. Once I understand the insulin regime and are having injecting myself then the fear will subside I am sure! [/QUOTE]
