Well, last week I got fed up of waiting for an appointment so started ringing the clinic and pestering them! A nice specialist nurse phoned me back and i went to see her today.
She's changed me onto 'Lantus', because taking 'Humalin I' meant I had no background insulin in the day. Sounds like a good plan to me- and means I've now joined the carb counting club! She's put me on 1 unit (of Humalog) for every 10g of carbs and we'll go from there. As some of you know my bs have been up and down so the first aim is to level them out, and then try to decrease them.
Must admit its a bit scary changing insulin after so long on Humalin I, but it sounds as if it works for the majority out there.
Oh, and I'm not allowed to inject in my tummy anymore... Nooooooooooo
Apparently I've deadened the area and am at risk of having to have surgery if I keep injecting there. MUST....BREAK....MY....HABBITS.....
