Thanks for that. I couldn’t find anything much about it.

Same problem here. I ordered on the 4th March and my pharmacy haven’t been able to get any. Nothing else for miles around. Someone as the surgery said she’d call around for me but I heard nothing so tried myself. The doctors have now prescribed me Admelog which I was told is bio similar and has...

Just to add, it’s the LibreLink app I use and I have seen the compatible phones thread here which is really helpful but my problem is with the alarms, the phone is great with general scanning and the app.

Hi Everyone Hope you can help me. How do those of you using an iPhone and Libre 2 get on with the warning alarms? I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max and have not managed to get it to give the low/high blood glucose alarms, only occasionally would it work and it didn’t seem to be related to how...

I don’t pipe up much but I just want to say please don’t beat yourself up. No one is perfect and things are different for everyone. Writing this post was very brave, it’s not too late and you’ve got some great replies here. Be kind to yourself ❤️

I have wondered about the home contents insurance and the fact that the pump is going to be out and about. It’s horrible when these things let you down. The policy handover stuff is weird isn’t it? Plus it’s been communicated as though it’s some kind of secret information, first the Burnett’s...

I got a very quick reply from insurance4insulinpumps after emailing them about cover if I had an epileptic fit. They said they still cover for it so I’ve gone back to them. They seem like a good company and I like that it’s so specific to our needs. Called Burnetts and was amazed how easy it was...

Thanks for the replies so far. The way things are set up at the moment I don’t have home insurance under my name so can’t do it that way. I think I’ll go back to insurance4insulinpumps but ask them a fresh about what would happen if my pump was damaged due to epilepsy. I’m not looking forward...

Hello everyone, I usually just lurk around here but I’ve got a dilemma that I’m sure a few of us will share and I’m wondering what you all think. It’s seems the background company for insurance4insulinpumps has changed. I got an email last night saying there had been ‘important changes’...

Thanks guys. Lots of votes for aveeno here but the company that makes that is involved in animal testing so I'd like to avoid them. I'll maybe try the Shea butter or the body shop and like a few of you have done; try testing to see if they change my BG result.

I know are all told we need to wash our hands before every blood glucose test ... one of our many rules, but this is real life and WE know that's not how it works. Before type 1 I used to use hand cream, now I avoid it because if I wake up with a hypo in the night or am out walking I can't...

I fill them with little portions of granola for hypos and have them in all my bags and pockets just in case.

I have epilepsy and insurance4insulinpumps have said that damage caused during a seizure would be covered, that was one of my big worries so I think I'm going to go with them. I can't really afford it but I can't afford to lose this pump either. It'd be good for all of us to know if they come...

mammamia2006 is spot on. And you are lovely, your friend is so unlucky to be type one but lucky to have a friend like you.

Hello everyone! Two and a half years in and I've just started with a pump, got it on Monday and I was told I needed to add it to my home insurance...which I don't have. So I've found insurance4insulinpumps.co.uk but I wanted to ask; has anyone used them and made a claim? Do they actually do...
