Hello

Went back to hospital today. Nurse deff thinks I've had a skin allergy to either the lubricant on the needle or more likely the insulin itself. To be on the safe side she has changed both 🙂

Now got novomix 30. Anyone else got this? I'm hoping for a pain free injection this evening!
 
Not on this - I'm on novorapid 🙂 Hope things go much better for you with the new insulin and needles Megan 🙂 Out of interest, what needles were you using before and what do you have now? I use novofine needles.
 
I now have BD micro fine + needles. No idea what the ones before were. Blue ones from the hospital lol
 
Novamix30 & pens

Hi MeganN
I have been on Novamix30 for several years now. + Metformin
I find it is pretty good for me, stable/predictable results. It needs to be as I have had chronic bowel desease? since 21yo. and when it goes pear shaped I use steroids (April to September this year, would not respond as usual) my Blood Sugars go MENTAL due to the steroids I am told. So it helps to have a `stable treatment` to get back on track
Needles are also B D Microfine 4mm length, much better than the old 8mm
 
Northerner the blue ones had a locking lid to the needle if you turned it over to remove the needle from the pen if that makes sense. My new purple needles don't have this on them, just a normal lid to go back into.

Tejbat6- no fair! Mine are 5mm long! 😛
