Ended up with the freestyle libre 2. Works great.
Then that makes sense. If you have just started the Humulin it may take a bit of tweaking to finalize how many units you will need.
I’m wondering what type of testing supplies y’all are using. I’ve used all kinds, but after 6 years of working at my local Walmart pharmacy (I’m not working right now, but was working for Ruger, the gun manufacturer, before the cancer), I learned about Relion brand supplies.
At first I started using Relion Prime, which worked just as well for me as did the more expensive brands (your doctor will give you a meter for free, but the test strips are outrageous). After comparing them side by side… read more
WELL DONE!!!
I was wondering if there was an Insulin that like Lantus lasts for 24 hours but also has a peak period unlike Lantus which does not. So does anyone know if there is this type of Insulin and if so please give me the brands and names of any information you may have. Thanks everyone for your help it`s much appreciated.....Nan...xo.

I keep getting an E-3 error. Initially I thought it was the batteries. Changed the batteries but the issue persisted. I eventually got a new unit but I am still getting these errors. My random glucose is normal as I recently had an HBa1C test. Am I doing something wrong?
Can also be due to faulty test strip.Do a repeat,as you say, with bigger blood drop.If problem persists report it to people supplying your strips- often issue replacements so you don't lose out
I am having an issue due to Ozempic causing severe nausea and vomiting to the point that I became severely dehydrated. I won't be taking any more Ozempic but until it's all out of my system, I am still very nauseous. Is it okay to skip my metformin dose until I feel better?
If your pills are 500 mg each, then yes some diabetics do take up to 2000 mg per day.
I believe it is the maximum dose (although some doctors may prescribe up to 2500 mg I believe)
