What to do about your basal insulin

You've tried them all; Lantus, Basaglar, Levemir, Tresiba, Toujeo. Either they don't meet your needs or they cause side effects. What is next? An insulin pump! this is by far the most predictable delivery of basal insulin. You get a fine trickle of short acting insulin for 24 hours. The new pumps by Medtronic and Tandem are very high tech. If you want to get in to that I am more than happy to support you. If you want simple insulin delivery then go with the Omnipod. Few buttons to push, no tubing and if you order now you will get the DASH upgrade free when it ships next year.
Diabetes only gets more difficult with age. Modern technology makes it easier.
