My HBA1C has never been the best, best I got was back when I had my road accident and everything was closely monitored. Anyway, I found out a few weeks ago the my 1C had dropped from 70 to 59 in a month! An effect I give full thanks to Jeff and my libre for. Wasn't till a few days ago that I was...

Had an appointment middle of July and my HBA1C was 59, down from 70 the month before!!

Got my loan pump from Medronic today for my holiday next week. The email I got said not to take it out of it's packaging unless I need it. But is that the brown box that was delivered? Or is there another box inside that has the pump?

Went through Stansted yesterday and everything went okay. Explained to the staff about the pump, and my libre, showed them my letters and even offered to disconnect briefly so that I could go through the scanner. They said a manual search would be fine. So Stansted seems to be okay, which is...

Thanks will keep on guard for that. I've worked out how many set changes I need for each holiday and will take twice that amount, probably a bit extra for the Crete one. And I'll take my pens as well, just in case

So I've got a couple of holidays coming up; one to Denmark at the end of the month and one to Crete at the end of July. My questions/worries are focused mainly on the airports. I know that my pump, Medtronic 640G, can't go through the x-ray machines or the full body scanners but am I read that...

Yeah definitely happier, still getting used to it, like you say it takes time

Just realised it's been about a month since I started on the pump. My doesn't time go quickly? Set changes I've got down to bout ten minutes now and so much more confident with them. My bloods, while still not perfect, are consistently lower then they were previously. Started doing my Basal...

I've got my 3rd Pump appointment on tuesday which will look at advanced basal rates if I remember correctly. Will talk to the nurse then. Usually I'm happy adjusting stuff myself but with me bring new to the pump I don't so will wait till tuesday

Yeah quite possibly. Will see what my nurse says on tuesday

Thanks @Juicyj think it was just having the first threes days go pretty well and then from Friday onwards it's just gone downhill. But you're right I need to try and not get stressed and stop expecting perfection this early in.

Going through a rough patch these past couple of days. Did my first set change on friday and everything went well. Since then though I can't seem to get my blood below 10. I know the cannula is okay because my bloods do come down a little but never enough. Inputting all the correct carbs intp my...

Just done my first set change. Think everything gones okay, made a few slip ups with forgetting to take the paper of the adhesive and then forgot to take the cap of the needle. All in now though and monitering my blood, which is already high.

Awww thanks. Finding it hard to describe how I'm feeling to be honest. But it's a very positive feeling. Went out tonight with my mum and stepmum so expecting my bloods to be a little out of wack for a bit but today has been really good

Well I'm down to 8.8 now which is good. I can see myself hypoing again though as I panicked a little and did an injection. Everything is going stellar lol

It's going....okay. Yesterday was all fine, cannula went in fine, settings are all inputted. Already got the cannula snagged on the door handle so that was fun, luckily I caught before I pulled it out and all was working fine. This morning woke up with a hypo, 3.5, did myself breakfast and the...

On my way to my appointment now. Butterflies in my stomach now, eeek

So today I go live with the pump! Appointment is at 2pm, all very exciting. My blood was 6.6 this morning as well which is excellent.

Thanks. I've got the book you mentioned, I find it so useful :)

At the moment I'm keeping it just hooked to my waistband of my trousers. Waiting for Medtronic to process my vat exemption form so I can by a case for it. There a few times when I have to adjust it a little, if I'm bending down for example as it digs in a little.
