Two questions:
1) Has anybody here not felt well on Levemir? Maybe because I have been so overwhelmed of late but I just didn't feel well, very sleepy and weak. The worst was an utter inability to eat usually at dinner, my appetite was so suppressed that I could not swallow food and had to resort to a yogurt because i had already taken a 20u bolus of reg novolog.
2) i really feel uncomfortable bolusing before a meal, I would prefer to bolus afterwards with a sliding scale because sometimes I just don't want to eat as much and having to force myself to eat causes anxiety esp. when I am thinking I have to to avoid going hypo. Anyone bolus afterwards and how is it working for you?
I am going back to the doctor on Thursday and since i can no longer afford the Levemir (I hit the donut hole) and when i finish my two vials of Novolog 70/30 I will probably have to switch to Humulin 70/30 until January. I am also going to buy my insulin at walmart because it is cheaper and I won't reach the donut hole as quickly, right now I get my meds at Walgreens, which i will keep for my other meds because it is close to home. Sorry for rambling, i just feel like I am encountering obstacle after obstacle. I really was getting good control with the levemir and boluses at meals and was getting used to the normal BGs despite the uncomfortable symptoms, I really don't want to backslide. Thanks, even for just listening.
