Concentrated insulin?

Great!- so pleased she turned out not to be what you remembered. Makes all the difference when you're both on the same side doesn't it?

Well I have some amazing news... I saw the nurse on Friday as planned. She couldn't have been nicer, more jovial or welcoming. She was delighted with my record-keeping and absolutely astounded I keep my blood glucose levels so tightly controlled.She also noticed I had a couple of instances of lipohypertrophy which 3 doctors had failed to diagnose (these have only recently appeared and only seem to be connected with the large amount of insulatard I have been using but I had seen the doctors about them because of how sore the area was).

Without even having to ask (and with no bullying about my weight!), she's put me on a double-concentrated insulin for both basal and bolus. The disappointing news is these aren't available in the glass cartridges to use in my nice metal Novo Nordisk pens - they're only in disposable plastic pens.

I haven't picked them up yet but have enough of the old insulin to tie me over a couple of weeks. So it seems I did a lot of fretting and worrying for nothing...!

I'm really pleased for you and I don't even know you! ha ha, sounds like you are very happy with the way things are going now..

Thanks for all your help and advice folks! I won't be starting the new insulin until 9th November at the earliest 🙂
