Hi
@Mel dCP . You ladies
always bringing logic to everything
.
I use refills for bolus. Having a pen upstairs in bedroom would see it only used when needed in the night. I just don't think it would get used in its entirety before it's use by date ( 28 days ) . I hate waste and having to dump anything unnecessarily, hence just keeping a pen upstairs, for me would raise more issues than it solves.
AND this may take some understanding, some people probably know this about me, but I have a strange way of living with diabetes.
So I go high in the night. Diabetes as is it's want will be more than happy if I stay in bed and stay high, then requiring a morning of regaining control.
Me as is my want need to let my diabetes know that I ain't taking its sh*t. If at any time I can do something to show I'm the boss I will. Physically getting out of bed , going downstairs as much as I dislike it, gives me a sense of achievement, control and being stronger than the challenge.
That's the best way I can describe it. Not sure it makes sense, but it works for me in a lot of different ways .
@becca59 . I do have various methods of transporting kit, for work, days out etc but around the house it all stays in " my specially adapted " insulin draw. Again lady logic leaves me grasping for a ladder to get out of the hole I've dug myself
