VERY useful as since posting this I've discovered that my basal requirements change up and down by a unit quite often.<br /><br />MMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09868706401223371920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932842985778393321.post-29710019483299946472010-09-13T02:00:27.371+01:002010-09-13T02:00:27.371+01:00Mike, I don't know if you're still using t...Mike, I don't know if you're still using the Autopen 24, but I've recently switched to the Sanofi Aventis ClikStar, which has single units as I had similar problems....Claranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932842985778393321.post-35830868403180421802010-03-11T17:35:19.552+00:002010-03-11T17:35:19.552+00:00Thanks for your comment.
