Some of you will be aware I’ve come away to Germany for a long weekend. Prior to coming away I was given another insulin to add to my regime.
We came away Wednesday, straight after my hospital appointment. We have come away to an organised event that my husband takes part in. Therefore, all the food & drink is provided.
So firstly I’ve been struggling to get 4 doses of the new insulin in. It has to be administered 4 times daily, 20mins prior to food. I’ve also been weary to take my metformin, as the tablets sometimes cause my stomach to be bad. So everything is feeling very hit & miss especially as I’m even struggling to administer the Levemir last thing at night.
As the situation stands I’m currently due to see my DN in the hospital on Tuesday 2nd October. I’m really not sure if I should rearrange the appointment, as I feel the 7 days in between my appointment aren’t going to be an accurate reflection of the insulin’s, diet etc etc.
All advice welcome, thanks in advance.
