Interesting @Lizz. It’s something I know absolutely nothing about; but I can’t deny that my BG results are better when I’m relaxed. And we all know that stress doesn’t do you much good. I also suppose that if […]

Do you have the same problems with more modern human insulin eg Humalog/Novorapid/Apidra @lizz , or are they just as problematic as the Actrapid?

Do you think you’ll ultimately swap back to the animal […]

@lizz – so how are your fingers now? Have you made any progress in finding a cause of the problem (or, better still, a cure), or have you had to go back to animal insulin?

What volume of aspartame were the trial participants taking @Lizz? eg are we talking the equivalent of one diet coke a day or ten?

I don’t add artificial sweetener to anything, the only time I eat is when I […]

What do you use for sweetening stuff @lizz? Or do you just use sugar/go without? I tend to use sucralose or less sugar myself, but always keen to find better alternatives if there are any…

What a pain @Lizz. Sorry I don’t have any helpful suggestions, but I hope you manage to find some sort of compromise that’ll work for you.

I’m afraid the short answer is “No”, @lizz, but as someone who doesn’t get on with “human” and analogue insulins I can sympathise with the conflict between “better” control and side-effects that make the […]

@furrypaul I’ve always injected in my bum, plenty of space to aim at. Its one of my favourite spots for infusion sets too. You don’t know what you’re missing 😉

@lizz I go just above or just below the […]

@lizz I put my sensors into my side just above waistband height, almost into my back but not quite. They face outwards so that I’m not pressing them into my back when I lie down. I put my infusion sets in the […]

Hurrah, that’s excellent news @lizz and if they’re only funding for a year, I assume that means you’ll be cured by October 2013?

I always wear my pump and sensor on the same side like you. If I wear it in my […]

@lizz , are your PCT i(f they still exist) completely unable to help you to use cgm for any longer even with evidence it helped you? Thank goodness one of your children found you. It is difficult enough avoiding […]

@lizz As long as there was some form of blood sugar calamity, that should qualify. It sounds like you met the grade 😉

@lizz – Thanks Lizz !!! Do you have dogs ?

Bella has always slept with me, to be honest.

@lizz you are right, it dones’t matter. I just wanted to give her some recognition for what she does for me. So I suppose telling you all about my little life […]

@lizz – you’re right, Lola is indeed particularly gorgeous!

Hi @Lizz my local hospital at the Bournemouth Endocrine centre has just published (on facebook) a photo of their first doggy helper detecting hypo’s . I left a comment for anyone interested to read your info at […]
