I've been on basal insulin about 3 weeks and it want having much effect. I've been on bolus 3 days, and results have been a lot better already! Not perfect, but every little helps.
It's really frustrating though, as I have been given every tablet possible, which has taken a year and a half. I wish they'd just put me on insulin from the start!
Not much point to this thread, just wanted to share my success so far, with people who would understand how I'm feeling
Diabetes type 1.5
Diagnosed September 2011
Currently on basal insulin
Thats the ratio I use with my bolus injections, and I have 20 units for my basal around 10-11pm. It seems to be working well and my doctor/specialist agree. Hardest part is temptation to old habits and over eating suar on a hypo but all comes with time doesnt it. Glad youre feeling good about it and so you should share it
