[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1523681, member: 295621"] It seems like you have a bit of an issue with your clinic given the tone of your opening post [USER=389881]@nathanw777[/USER]? For what it's worth, it's pretty important to understand what you need from a basal insulin and to make those prerequisites known to your HCP's prior to the prescription being issued. Luckily, I was started on Levemir at diagnosis - and weighing up every basal insulin currently on the UK market, it's fortunately the best one for my lifestyle. Why? The insulin works well split across two injections, and the doses adjusted depending on activity levels, etc. As a very active person (but not 7 days a week) this insulin works very well for me, as I can adjust my doses to suit, when I need them to. If you are an active yet sporadic individual like myself, then maybe this basal might be for you. It's worth doing your homework so you can request something that will give you the best quality of life. [/QUOTE]
