[QUOTE="Libby3781, post: 1871668, member: 468725"] Hi Tinker, That’s good to hear, so far so good. I’ve never thought of numbing the area beforehand. I’ve personally found it’s got easier the more I’ve used it (TickleFlex). I’ve also found it seems to take me a lot less time to administer than it did prior. Unfortunately, I’m currently on 30 - 32 units daily. Only administer at bedtime. I’m seeing my DN again on the 25th September. I am anticipating being given another insulin to take when I eat. Currently, no matter what I do my bg levels rise. My diet is relatively healthy. I’m vegetarian but each fish, love salad. I rarely each foods extremely high in sugar, my downfall is bread. I love bread, but that said I don’t eat tones of it. I’ve bought a book from amazon to help me count carbs, and I’ve also got a food & blood glucose book ready to use. My DN has told me not to stress too much yet as I’m away a lot over the next few weeks. I’m hoping once my holidays are over the bg levels will come down as I’ll have better control over food & drink etc if that makes sense. I’m hoping to have a baby in the not to distant future, so I have to get my bg levels under control and consistent. Please keep me posted on you’re progress. Well done so far xxx [/QUOTE]
