For the most recent one I had some birthday cake so I imagined I would be able to notice a rise quite quickly. As for the other time it happened this week I had a pizza at around 6pm and didn’t see the rise until I was sleeping after around 11/12 pm without having anything after the pizza.

So last night and a couple of nights ago I had some food about 2 hours before I went to sleep, I checked my blood sugar just before I went to sleep and it was sitting at 6.9 and it had held steady since I began eating. I went to sleep and woke up in the morning to find that my blood sugar was...

I use the mio set, I’ve heard of these angled types so I’m wondering if I’m better trying them out or giving this a couple more tries.

I’ve been on the Medtronic 640g pump for around a week now and have noticed that I always find it uncomfortable wherever I put my infusion set. Sometimes it can go from uncomfortable to a dull pain in my abdomen where I have placed the infusion set, I’m wondering why this is or is it just...

This was one of my thoughts as I was unsure with the time difference how I would need to change my morning and night time basal, I will definitely give the pump a shot but I will also have my pens on stand by incase anything changes. Thank you.

I haven’t received any information on what I will be given yet, I suppose I’ll have to wait and see on Monday to find out what pump I’ll be put on. Thanks :)

Hi, I’ve been selected to get on an insulin pump as of Monday, I’m just wondering what type of pump I will be out on as well as the process that happens before I am left to use the pump myself as I believe on Monday it is a water start that was explained in the letter I received. I want to try...

Thanks for the quick reply, my last meal for the last week or so was around 8 o’clock and I have not eaten till around 10 oclock the next day, I notice that from when I get up till when I eat my blood sugar will drop anywhere between 2 and 4 mmol depending on how I was when I woke up. As for the...

So the past week I’ve noticed that whenever I eat a meal my blood glucose levels drop quite rapidly sometimes sending me into a hypo, I know for a fact that I have correctly counted the carbs etc so I know that’s not the problem as this has only recently started happening. I’ve also recently...
