Brian (bsc) replied to Rich Davis's discussion 'Trouble With memory'"One suggestion I ran across which can be of help is to develop a ritual with a built in system for double checking. What do I mean about this?
Develop a standard set of actions that you follow every time you take an injection. This is what I call a…"
barbraann replied to Rich Davis's discussion 'Trouble With memory'"Thank you! I was going to ask this same question! Half the time I can't remember if I've taken a shot or not. In fact, half the time I can't remember what my bg reading is between the time I test and when I go to take a shot (1 min!?)…"
Holger Schmeken replied to Rich Davis's discussion 'Trouble With memory'"To be unsure about the injection of basal insulin has always caused trouble for me - even if it only happens one or two times are year. Thus I have modified the Lilly HumaPen Memoir so I can use it with the Novolog vials. You will find the necessary…"

S Woodward replied to Rich Davis's discussion 'Trouble With memory'"hundreds of times over the years. I now try and check before the first bite with my pump. When I was on shots I used to use the right pocket for before meals and the left after the shot."

I contacted OneTouch and they graciously upgraded my meter…See More
