[QUOTE="LooperCat, post: 1803276, member: 468055"] Just spoken to my DSN down at the hospital (unlike my GP surgery, they’re thrilled with my latest HbA1c of 43), they’re really not happy about me mixing background insulins for period week, because there’s been zero research done on it, and the two I’m suggesting work so differently. I can kind of accept that, they can’t go smashing the rules, although a little bending (with regard to carbs and ketone levels) seems ok! I’ve been issued a half unit pen for the Tresiba, anyway with the hope that it’ll stop my raging dawn phenomenon and having to wake up at 4am to nip it in the bud. So we’ll try 17.5u a day and see how that goes. I’m picking it up tomorrow. But.... if that doesn’t work, they want me to try a pump. Apparently these two issues would make me more than eligible. Now you know how reluctant I am, because of the whole being attached to a machine and tubes thing. But apparently our area prescribes the Omnipod, the tubeless jobbie. So.... time for some research. I may end up going full cyborg :borg: [/QUOTE]
