@Daibell Your post is so correct. We have to be proactive and in charge of our own health. And also be prepared to jump through humps sometimes without getting uptight about it. At the end of the day as a Type one I am getting so much for free that quite frankly I don’t know what I’d do if that...

@Prancy in the UK to get a pump requires certain criteria. Even if you managed to jump through the many hoops there can then be a waiting list. I have awful problems with steep numbers in the morning. But am not having lots of hypos and my HbA[emoji637]c is good. So chances of a pump are slim to...

@Ushthetaff I didn’t want to go too big either. So resisted the max. I carry mine in a bum bag so don’t have the pocket problem, though it fits well in a cardigan when hanging out the washing and my dressing gown. I have actually surprised myself as I love the bigger screen. It is so fast too...

A cow between two bread vans. Hilarious!

I for one would be furious to lose this product. It has its quirks, as said, the first day particularly. I always put on a day ahead which helps. But for me it is pretty accurate and as someone who has tested along side meters at the same time they don’t match either. People seem to think blood...

When swimming lots of lengths seriously a couple of times a week it definitely needs extra support to stay on. My sensors also stick exceptionally well and have been known to remove skin when taking them off. But swimming and bashing your arm into the water for seventy plus lengths will...

New phone arrived this afternoon to replace the twelve mini I’ve had for three and a half years. It’s been well used, and the battery was running down too quickly. As I see the phone as a medical necessity these days, I was prepared to lay out the money for the newest model. I do pretty much...

As a dried milk user in my tea for the last fifty years I cannot believe I’d not heard of the same in cream. Every day is a school day. I like the air frier cooking of these as I don’t own a microwave.

@ANTJE[emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji639]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji639]] No way would my Gp prescribe three different insulins. I take so little basal that there would be a lot of wastage. NPH I’m just about to Google!

This sounds identical to me.

Re a pump chance would be a fine thing. Too well controlled apparently. Errr! Probably because I haul myself out of bed each morning and eat sensibly with very little fun deviation.

@marie [emoji638] yes I am beginning to wish I was on a pump. It’s five am and I’m up yet again. Injected at three am and went back to sleep but still needed more. Hence the getting up. It is so much easier to get up, eat and start my day. The trouble is being unable to keep awake in the...

One mmol is nothing and well with in tolerances. I have two blood glucose monitors that show that much apart both tested with solution for accuracy.

I’m on Tresiba. But have been on split dose Lantus and Toujeo. The problem is I need a lot less insulin from four pm onwards and more from three am, so split doses never helped with that. I just get up early as the act of taking insulin to counteract the rise totally wakes me up. Truthfully I...

Good morning all. Frustrated here. After a series of night time low alarm wake ups (all checked) I reduced the basal yet again by half a unit. Then I remembered why I usually put up with it. Sky rocketing highs above ten from a base of five from three am onwards. High alarms, five o’clock...
