[QUOTE="janabelle, post: 44012, member: 7788"] Hi Insulinman, your story sounds so familiar. I'm glad you've sorted things out. I used to be on actrapid, but I didn't know it still existed! Give it time it'll be phased out I'm sure, in favour of analogues. Katherine, you've only been on insulin for 11 years I doubt very much you've got probs with your injection sites, sure your hospital would have noticed if you had. The trouble with these analogues is we're told how fantastic they are, so when things go wrong with our control, we blame ourselves, our bodies, our self-management, hormones, etc; This compounded with lack of help from the "experts", who continue to tell us how wonderful these new insulins are, leads to despair and hopelessness. Please be assured Katherine there is light at the end of the tunnel,and the care you are receiving is inadequate. My advice is to summon up all your energy, make a big noise and get it sorted. The diabetic clinic is there to serve you, not the other way round! Good luck, and keep your spirits up. Jus [/QUOTE]
