    PrEP and Type One Diabetes?

    I haven't spoken to my team or anyone about it as of yet, I just wanted to see if anyone with T1D was using it. I know they do tests to check kindey/liver because it can have an effect on them but so can other medicines such as parocetmal ect. Just gonna speak to a prep consultant when I have...

    PrEP and Type One Diabetes?

    Hey I was wondering if anyone has started to use PrEP and living with T1D? As I am a Gay man I want to explore options with medications to help protect myself and PrEP has been mentioned. I can't find any information online about the effects it has on T1D.

    I miss not being able to disconnect when I want to disconnect. I use to be able to unclip from the cannula and do a few things without pump on. Now I have it on me 24/7

    Diabetes groups...

    if you go on twitter there are some people doing meet ups for PWD. I don't know if there is any in the North West but if there isn't start your own one? I highly recommend them because meeting others makes you not feel so alone!

    Do you think...

    Hey guys just a quick question, Do you think they will get rid of Novarapid and swap everyone over to Fiasp in due course. The reasons I am asking this is. 1. Made by the same company 2. Works Faster 3. Same price as Novarapid.

    Alcohol and pump t1

    I have noticed the same effects as MDI whilst drinking on a pump. I tend to dance/ stick to 0 carb drinks like vodka. I forget to monitor but if you can please make sure to monitor your levels because vodka lowers me so much and with dancing it can get messy,. Overall enjoy yourself and...

    Switching pumps.

    I feel lucky that my team are allowing me to transfer from the insight pump so early on. I have been using an insight pump for about a year and 5 months, but I have been having problems with errors and airbubbles since going on the insight pump. I have also had cartridges leek in the chamber...
