At least Abbott does what it says on the tin, good for them! I consider Abbott's prices reasonable when considering buying a year's supply from them. I would consider this option if I have to go abroad again in the future. I was initially reluctant to get them, but now, I can not live without...

Great News. I have phoned SWEET and spoken to an advisor. She will contact my Surgery. Hopefully, GP and the team will react positively. Thank you to all that offer me advice on this matter. If I do not get my medication restored, I will walk into A&E as I was advised in the past. Basil

The short answer is yes, it does! You can start by paying attention to your body signals. In my experience, if I do not listen or pay attention, my body reacts, heating me harder. The choice is yours. I got nothing to lose by trying, only the pain. I do not rely so much on those who lecture me...

I suffered a frozen shoulder for more than a year. I ended up meeting this excellent chiropractor. Before that, I went for painful acupuncture sessions, which did not work. I went for over a year and varied from month to month, depending on how I reacted to the treatment. I have to add that I...

This is my experience in the just over 10 years I have been T1. How I deal with toe neuropathy on a daily basis and how it works for me 100%. As humans do not pay much attention to our feet until something goes wrong. We cover them with socks and punish them for wearing most of the time wrong...

well, years passed me by but I have found plenty of red necks In my path. You can be an engineer and yet be as thick as muck. I should have made better choices when it comes to choosing a workplace. From 2013 until 2020? Some mothers do have them! Education never ends, even the day we are...

The old lady next door seems to be quite happy with the prescriptions delivered. They tried to sell it to me, but I am not 100% convinced. I would like to go back to pen and paper sometimes. There is too much red tape and a lot of middlemen involved. Something goes wrong and I have to deal with...

Totally agree!

A remarkable story, I say. I have been backstabbed many times in the past for many reasons in the workplace, but I felt most vulnerable as a diabetic. I tend to compare my lack of energy following a hypo to driving a car running on low fuel. Life exits my body slowly and as it enters critical...

After more than 10 years of being type 1, just discovered that anxiety and stress are huge red flags for me. In the current situation gave up looking for work and focused primarily on healing internally, physically and mentally speaking. Joining a gym was my Pandora's box. Right now the only...

There was another job where they were so concerned about my safety that contract was terminated soon after. At the time I could have handled it differently but I was experimenting with insulin in order to get better readings. I close the door in my working area after staking a note on the door...

Glad to know. I have libre2 and have no intention to get a new phone right now. Thanks

To clarify, here is a little anecdote here: I had a job at a well-known 5-star hotel in London. One day I was at the top of the building, and suddenly I notice a hypo coming. I thought, got just enough time to get on the lift down to the basement where the canteen staff was located. By the time...

In my experience, I only got a supply every month, two sensors. Once the nurse approved the paperwork, She notified the GP, and I registered with the Abbott website. They sent me a reader free of charge, and although I was supposed to get a free sensor, it never happened. I can subscribe to...

There was a time when nobody talked about carb reduction; nurses did not flinch when mentioned. I took the matter into my own hands, and for the last two years, I have had the best readings with the minimum amount of insulin. For personal reasons, I am back eating carbs; the latest nurse told me...
