Everything i have asked has been correct, she got confused with Christmas cake so i asked for fruit cake i still have to weigh carbs but she learns and stores what you ask her so over time she is going to be spot on. I think they cost £39.99 money well spent for me [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

Mine seems to know its in the uk, i just say "echo how many carbs in 50grams of rice or a slice of white bread" and it replies [emoji16][emoji16]

This morning while taking what i thought was my long acting insulin, i realised it wss my fast acting, i had both out as my BG was high, fortunately i had only taken 8 units (needed 7 to adjust) but it made me think what would i have had to do if i had taken the full 32 units before i had...

I have to fund this myself so this is great news, I am getting the pump fitted so hopefully i will qualify, good luck people, i hope all those who want it get it xx

I hope someone on here can help me, I am type 1 and have managed to keep my BS within normal range for some time now, however over the past couple of days my levels have dropped, and i have only taken my long lasting insulin, Last night they were 3.4, i had 4 jelly babies, a small can of coke...

I was very similar, blood test 6 weeks before and all ok then after feeling ill, had a thirst that was obsessive lost a stone and a half and was going to the loo every 10 mins my bloods didnt even register on the meter, just came up high [emoji21][emoji21][emoji21]

I would suggest then you have type 1, i think more research needs to be done on all the type 1 and type 2, having to inject insulin 5/6 times a day and finger prick almost every hour isnt great, but there is a line between the two, i am sorry but thats how it looks to me, i dont intend to offend...

I have always had a healthy diet and life style, then BOOM ..... type 1 ...... i know so many people who are type 2 thats down to their lifestyles, i would never have type 2, never so im sorry if i offend anyone but thats just how i see it, i feel im been punished and sadly its with me now for life.

Hi, im going away next week to Spain in our lovely VW campervan for 10 days, we bought a little plug in fridge for my insulin but there isnt enough power in the old girl to keep it going unless we hook up, so my question is, what else could i use to keep my insulin cool for a couple of days in...

Both type 1 and type 2 are very serious conditions, sadly there is nothing that can be done to cure my type 1, but type 2s can do a lot more, i think he was saying that type 2 should be given different name as it does confuse people

Type 2 is much more gradual, when i was diagnosed with type 1 i had a blood test about 4 weeks before diagnosis (for a check up) and all my bloods came back normal, 4 weeks later after feeling very unwell my bloods came back 32!!!

I wish my fasting bloods were 5.2 [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]
