I'm currently using Novorapid pens to keep myself in check, adjust it as I need and maybe top up if I am higher than I intend.Hi there. Thanks, we're thinking of naming him Jaecerys (Jake for short). I'm not of thyroxin, which is for hypothyroidism, but on Carbimazole for hyperthyroidism. Which, like I said, is a mess because my naturally high thyroid levels drives down my sugar while my psych med, Seroquel, makes more sugar (I'm also on Metformin still though I'm not sure how much use it is at this point). My pharmacist usually handles and double checks how they'll interact with my conditions and to his credit he saw my troubled coming from a lightyear away.I do top up, as I said, half a unit or so if I'm higher than I intend (usually I prefer to keep between 9 and 14) with Novorapid though. I haven't checked my basal levels recently, though I'm not quite sure what time in the day is the best time for them as my meds, as said mess with them. I might have a talk to the DM nurse about them.The carb calculating thing looks pretty intensive. I might look into doing that when I have a bit of time off It could be useful I suppose to have a go at it.I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism when I was 16, so 5 years ago. I feel for you readjusting managing your levels seeing that when I was diagnosed with schizophrenia at 18, I pretty much went through that process each time they wanted to trial a different antispychotic to figure out which ones work on me.I'm on 2 month appointments but due to unforeseen circumstances I had to miss the last one so I haven't been reviewed for 14 weeks and at this stage the endocrinologist is just waiting to review me in a fortnight from now.Between delusions and feeling hot and restless, I too get really terrible sleep. It doesn't help that on cold night I get this burning tingling in my fingertips and toes, I don't know which one of  the evil trifecta I can attribute that to.though.Thanks for all the help guys, your responses are really appreciated</blockquote>
