I had my vaccination yesterday (I had Pfizer) and noticed my sugars dropping low yesterday evening, even woke at 1am in hypo which I haven’t done in quite a few months. Just wondered if anyone else noticed a low in their sugars after the vaccine?! Thanks

Hi @sigita I use the DAFNE app to keep track of glucose level readings aswell as carb portions. Carbs and Cals is a really good app aswell to see rough portions and how many carbs are in what you are eating! Xx

7pm the night before is rather early. And fasting bloods I have been to I have been told to eat or drink nothing after 10pm. Try fasting from later on your next test and you might not feel ill. Glad you was sensible enough to pack some food! Xx

When I done my dafne course they recommended I do 1/2 and 1/2 of my slow acting and found this helped .y daytime sugars. Give it a try as I think it will give you that little extra boost you need in the day! Xx

That's brilliant that it sorted out! Haha yes might be worth carrying them in future! Xx

Hi @Tracyann35. How are your sugars?! X

If you are staring to come down since changing your cannula then it could have been a prob with the other one. Check again in an hour and if you still very high tomorrow call the NHS helpline! Hope you feel better soon. X

My local hospital wouldn't even talk to me about getting on a pump, just kept sending letters back to me and my gp saying no, so I changed hospitals! Had my 1st appointment there end of August, pre pump assessment beginning of November and started my pump beginning of April!! Did your trying and...

If you have changed the cannula twice and your sugars aren't coming down then I would recommend you go to a&e if you don't have a pen with you. Ketones can develop quickly and so you need to get insulin in to you. Are you on your way home or staying away?! X

@noblehead Yeah I think the 1st few weeks will be the hardest just because of the big change! Yes, I was told to make sure I have it all with me when out and about so I'm prepped for that! Glad to see everyone is really positive about pumping! Xx

I know it's not gona happen over night, it will take time! I'm writing all my results down aswell as food/carbs so I can look for patterns. I'm lucky that I have a good diabetes team and they are very supportive. All us new pumpers will have fun on this new journey! Xx

Yeah I have woke up this morning very high! (20.3) but have corrected so will check in an hour that it's coming down. I think my basal at night will need to be increased but will go through that in more depth with my DN. I'm LOVING not injecting already, so know any complications I might have I...

Hi @azure and @paulliljeros I am on Medtronic minime 640! I'm really excited about it to be honest, my pump treatment team have been fab, I was just wondering if anyone had had problems so that I could kind of look out for them warning signs. Yes, I'm doing CGM which I find I'm more keen to do...

Hi all, I have today started on my pump with insulin (we done a week using saline to get use to the pump) so far so good! Was wondering what people had trouble with when 1st pumping? Just so I can keep an eye out! Xx
