Wouldn’t having the flexibility to match your insulin dose and timings to when you drink the carbs and when you need corrections reduce the stress about diabetes as would improve blood sugars?

I’m lost, I’ll leave it there. The exact same insulins but not mixed together, shouldn’t give you side effects.
 
I will try again to answer.
The side effects are from the basal bolus insulins. I have no more of them covered in my insurance. I tried the ones covered. They are glargine-- Lantus and basaglar and toujeo.
Trurapi being the only rapid insulin covered for meals. I told the dr. He has no suggestions.
I can't ask for the premixed separate because 1. I don't know if they are covered and 2. I am completely overwhelmed at this time.

As there is a totally different health care system here in the UK, people find it hard to comprehend the problems you have with having to contend with and such poor support and treatment options as well as the problems because of your financial situation.
Hence people make suggestions that would be feasible here.

Yes, there seems to be a bit of a communication issue, in that people's suggestions never quite seem to hit the spot for Tuesday. I wonder if there's an online diabetes support group in Canada, that would be more helpful?

I get that, but Tuesdays saying the seperate insulins aren’t available without even having asked? It might be that other options are available with special permission or something of that sort? If you don’t even ask you don’t find out though.

No I haven't asked because right now I'm overwhelmed with the diabetes.
