Be well and let us know how you get on.
Heather. | Thanks Heather. i will use your wording ("take the pressure off the pancreas") tomorrow.
if the physician "ums and ah's" about the insulin and does not give me a definite answer with a good reason - i will then go and see my GP and seek his opinion.
if i had some fast-acting insulin i know i could get my numbers down and keep them in range.
