[QUOTE="mangobe, post: 808631, member: 22581"] Lantus doesn't seem to be involved at all in my hypos, but I'd agree to try Levemir or maybe even a pump if you sent me all of those £££££££££££ ! I do think hard and often about how very nice it'd be to have a cgm as I've trialed one and loved it, but unfortunately my consultant / pct wouldn't give me one when I last asked unless I at least tried a pump and I'm very reluctant to have a wired one (I hated the cumbersome old wired cgms). I will rethink later on in the year if I'm in a more receptive state by then, but have actually had all diabetic control happening on autopilot for the past year while having cancer treatment so I didn't have the head space to cope with any new gadgets while I was having chemo etc. A lucky side effect of all the dreadful cancer therapy was that my BG's improved radically simply because I hardly ate - dropped 2 dress sizes! :), but sadly had to start eating again once that was over :sour: Maybe, if I'm lucky, by the time I finally give in and agree to try a pump, a wonderful new tiny, wireless patch-pump with cgm incorporated will be available :woot::) P.S. If you've read all the different stories I've posted about hypos on this thread and are imagining me having hypo adventures daily, remember that these stories have been accumulated over many years, and I do have periods when I manage to be relatively free of hypos. Anyway, I'm so used to it now and have been so distracted by being diagnosed with something far worse, that I'm not really worrying about my hypo-unawar state at the moment and just started posting my hypo-stories because they're amusing - or that's the way I feel about them these days :) [/QUOTE]
