I think it was just looking different on my phone then my family device I use sometimes. Because it didn't show me logged in there.

On my new insulin I don't see the reason why I should make my fingers so sore measuring my bs. Unable to wear my Libre2 sensors I get a very bad reaction.
I can't increase the dose as 60 is the highest the injector does in one shot. I have permission to adjust but if I increase then I'm going into 2 injections possibly 2x a day. And I still have no control over my numbers in terms of eating right. It's too distressing to see them bad. Although they have improved now. But I still feel that if I could eat properly I wouldn't need insulin. It's A very sad thing in my life and I know there can be sadder things but it's one of mine.

If you were eating more then you would need more insulin, you wouldn’t stop needing it

Looking like I will need to miss the am injection. Eating before noon just isn't working. Haven't been able to for many years. Even drinking increases my nausea. Or maybe take the am injection and if my bs drops suck on some candy and hope for no nausea increase.

Or try to improve the nausea @Tuesday ? What’s causing it? Is it acid reflux, gall bladder, etc etc?

I am truly appalled by the poor support you are getting in Canada, thank goodness for the NHS even though we complain about it.

Currently waiting for a paramedic to turn up as other half has a flare up of his Crohn's and is really feeling unwell vomiting since 8am. Rang 111, call back from a clinician who is sending the paramedic.
Must be something about November as his previous 2 bad attacks were in Nov 2022 and 2023 when he had a course of steroids which seemed to do the trick without being on any other Crohn's meds.

So tired of the hypo warnings. The one size fits all approaches. The it has to be done this way.
The never do it differently even if it works better for you. The constant hunger. The hourly p trips at night while trying to sleep. The cramps.
It never ends. And what do we die of? Despite doing everything? Diabetes. There's no help. It's all a money maker.

What’s your blood sugar during the night @Tuesday ? High sugars can cause frequent urination (and cramps sometimes too). Magnesium gel will help the cramps.

It measures in the 12s. I've told my Dr but he had no suggestion.

That’s probably high enough to cause the frequent peeing. Once you can get your blood sugar down a bit that should improve.
