    Omnipod PDM bleeping after pod change

    Mine used to do this but a quick turn off/on seemed to clear it. HTH [emoji120]

    Low carb vegan breakfast suggestions

    Tofu - you can get the Taifun one which you can just slice & eat cold or heat. It’s flavoured. Avocado & toast. Fake bacon which takes about 3m to fry. (Plant based - in all the supermarkets). Soya yoghurt & roasted nuts. HTH

    Shielding letter - all Type 1s?

    I haven’t heard anything either nor any date for a vaccine. HBA1C around 7% - nearly 50 y/o, mixed race, BMI 24 just, based in Surrey. No other conditions. Whereas a T1D friend who is younger & slimmer has a letter who lives near me! V random. ‍

    Warranty ending

    Hi @Joe261985 - My Accu Chek warranty ran out last Apr and I chose to go onto the omnipod but mu delay was due to a technical error on the Dash model. I got my new pump posted end Nov and completed the training via Zoom in early Dec. HTH & hope you get it soon [emoji106]

    Patch for omipod sites

    Hi @FayeandBenito - Not sure why that’s happening to you. I use the adhesive patches from Diabetic Supplies which are the same price I think. Normally though they seem to stay on. Hope you manage to find something suitable and reasonably priced. [emoji106]

    Freestyle Libre

    Thanks @becca59 - I do use Cavilon but it didn’t seem to help with the last 3 sensors. The last one being the worst. I believe, like you say, it’s the filament causing the problem. My DSN said to give it a break for now. Thank you for the reply.

    Thanks @EllieM - That’s good to hear as I’ve just ordered the starter pack from Dexcom [emoji106] Sorry to hear you also had issues.

    Freestyle Libre

    Thanks @oldgreymare I will definitely look into it. No I don’t think I’m in a high stress state or anything and consider myself pretty fit & healthy. It’s just annoying. Very painful but subsiding now. Thanks for the reply [emoji2]

    Freestyle Libre

    Thank you @Marie 2 - that’s interesting about the Dexcom. Yes pretty sure it’s the filament part - I do get general itching too from the adhesive but the last 3 have ‘turned nasty’ right where the hole is after removing them. I managed to squeeze a load of gunk out & then rang the GP. It’s...

    Freestyle Libre

    I’m sure other people have posted in the past and I know we’re all different but I have a nasty infected arm from the Libre. I think it’s the actual needle type central bit that has caused the problem. It’s happened twice before but this time resulted in antibiotics and antibiotic cream. My...

    Eye tests

    Had my eye test cancelled in April but managed to get it re-booked in Sept and needed my 1st pair of reading glasses! Not had retinopathy test this year though or any HBA1C. [emoji854]

    Pump bags for accucheck insight

    @megan I use the Hid in belt which is pretty good as you can wear it in different places (round waist, hip, thigh, top half). HTH [emoji2]
