Hi John, I was interested in your post particularly as you are clearly very insulin resistant. In fact you use more Novorapid than I yet use much less Lantus than I. I use 1x40u Rapid, 2x50u Rapid and 1x 80u Lantus, which I associate with my 42/44" waist and 18st. I am interested in how you get away with such a light Lantus shot. Perhaps they are starting you very low. I think of the term "diabetes" as a description of the symptom where T1 or T2 is the cause. At some point it matters not...

I'd guess it also depends on whether your job is unionised or not.

I am pleased to hear the case is nice and grey now! I really do like the compact case though, it holds everything I need so well and I love the pen holder, it is strong and well made - I thoroughly recommend it!

You're right about the overall carb count I guess. I think I had 3 potatoes (that I could identify as potatoes!) with a Pot au Feu one lunchtime and that was about it. There was obviously some potato and / or rice with some of the evening meals but in the poncey minimalist resturant style if you know what I mean. The bread rolls were all small ones and I doubt I ever had more than 2 in one day. One meal came with a side dish of pasta with melted cheese over it but I didn't eat much of...

Have had some experience of this Maggie, the price you pay direct or in boots is not the same price as the NHS pay. You might find that what is a bargain to you costs 50% more when supplied via the NHS. If you want your Doctor to sign you more strips go via the consultant endocrinologist at your local diabetes centre and get him / her to browbeat the other him / her into doing...

My doc now prescribes a refill at my request as he used to only prescribe one course at a time. You may also need to test for pneumonia, you could be needing a specific antibiotic to work on your infection - blood and sputum tests.

Thanks very much! My initial thoughts were that I might be having a nighttime hypo and getting the dawn effect so that my waking bgs were a little high if anything (around 12 to 13), but even with having a small snack before bedtime this didn't improve. I will bring this up with my diabetic team. What else is there? I found NPH so peaky that I didn't want to have to use it, but I understand the Lente insulins are a good basal insulin. Anyway I shall post again when I have some answers or...

When I first read it at the age of 13 I fell in love with Galadriel, but I can't well use that. Falling in love with a mythical character is about right for a 13-year old, but now 40 years later I ought to have got over it. Oh, how that first love hurts! lol
