Hi Mary, sorry to hear of this very distressing problem, I hope that the doctor can help on Monday. We don't use R and N insulin here in the UK as far as I am aware, but I have read about it on other boards and understand them to be an older variety of insulin. It does sound as though the N is not really working well for you, given that your levels climb so high (17-22 mmol/l) and these high levels will most certainly be causing those urgent rushes to the bathroom. Hope the doctor can find a solution for you and you are able to sleep peacefully soon 🙂

Do hope that you are able to resolve this horrid problem. All the best with your appointment.xx

I hope the doctor is able to help you. Some medications do make you incontinent, my mum had some for somethinge else that made her wee at all sorts of inconvinient times.

If you don't mind using them, some people find an incontinence pad givea a bit of reassurance, although they don't solve the problem. Good luck withthe doctor
