I've the 640g and have used it in pools and the sea in Spain, and warm swimming pools and its been grand. For the blue lagoon thou I think I'd leave it off as it is quite warm

well done you're doing a great job. As someone suggested try bolusing for half the protein and using extended boluses (dual and square ) for higher fat meals more often, does she have a cgm?? if not would you be able to get one for her at all?? or even a Libre?? it would help you get a better...

oh its an hr after eating when pregnant and then at 2 hrs you have to be back to what you were before tis a nightmare

ah the joy of the targets in pregnancy... it is doable but so hard... try the different boluses on your pump, square and dual and really try and steer clear of the high gi foods...add more fat and protein to try and lesson the rise after eating. I was pretty much hypo for most of both my...

I'm type 1 31 years and have two daughters, a 6 and a 7 year old. HbA1c was in the 7's when I got pregnant with both and went down to 5.1% during the preganancies. On my first I was low all the time and lost hypo awareness was induced at 38 weeks due to going unconscious in the bed. Zero hypo...

mines 4-7 at all times

I only had a section on my second and that was because of failure to progress I never got past 1cm dilated so section was nothing to do with my diabetes.

yup I have a different basal rate set on my pump for this very reason

I test daily but only cos I'm following the ketogenic diet and want to know this number lol. I have a meter that tests blood ketones and the strips are a permanent feature of my prescription.

I have my pump basal rate set a lot higher from 4am to 10am to deal with DP if I didn't as soon as I wake up my sugars wud start to climb. I even have to bolus for the tea I drink first thing to stop my sugars going mental from that one cup of tea (don't need to bolus for tea at any other time...

I'm a type 1 31 years and have two children, first at 33 second at 34. I was on an insulin pump prior to pregnancy and still am. Pregnancy is complicated when type 1 lots and lots of testing and changing of insulin doses but doable. Having a good hbA1c is essential before you get pregnant so if...

I constantly ram my cgm into the door frame doesn't happen when I'm not wearing it on my arm, a bit of a bruise is all I end up with it always stays put and readings are grand

My basal profile is: 00.00-04.00 0.950 04.00-10.00 1.10 10.00-24.00 0.950 total basal/ day 23.7iu I have lower basal rates for when I have my period as I seem to get super sensitive to insulin and will have a lot of hypos if I don't change it for that week or so 00.00-04.00 0.575 04.00-11.00...

I was induced on my first at 38 weeks following a hospitalised low and low fluid levels took 4 days and had a natural birth with forceps in the end. It was very intense pain wise as babs was no way near ready to be born. My waters went naturally on my second at 37 weeks (was booked in for...

when I was in uni I sat in a different room and was allowed my meter, glucotabs and allowed to check my blood sugar if I needed to during the exam. I only got this by telling them I was diabetic. By telling them I was diabetic I was granted extra time for all my exams, hence the separate room...

mine lasts almost 4 weeks I use the Energiser Ultimate Lithium ones, they've got the blue swirl on them

works for me, I'm 30 years type 1 and low carb has meant more stable blood sugars and far less swings, I have mostlystraight lines on my cgm readings. It took a while to get my basal correct and involved a lot of testing of carb boluses and protein boluses but no complaints I'm better low carb...

when I got my first pump I spent the whole first night hypo never above 3. My basal rates were adjusted big time and I am on a lot less insulin, less than half of what I was on with MDI stick with it...

@catapillar as tim2000s said you and the Enlite might not be a good match at all.

hiya @tim2000s yeah I know that it just jumped the gun one too many times for me. It was actually my consultant that suggested switching it off and turning the other alarms on. He figured I was dipping the pump was suspending then my blood sugar was climbing as a result of the suspend, he felt...
