I live in Stockport, but go to the Manchester Diabetes Centre at the Manchester Royal infirmary. I get all the support I need, but without any hassle. I see my pump nurse as much or as little as I want ( saw her last month, but was 18 months since my last visit). As she was happy with how...

I was at about 10 when I started on my pump, and I'm now at 7.1, so it does make a big difference, but it can take time. The best thing I've found which helps with pumping, but unfortunately isn't NHS funded is the Freestyle Libre. It works out quite expensive if you do it all the time (about...

For some reason my email provider didn't like the email for some reason,but has gone now,so should be with you. I did think of changing the extension,but did not know if you would know how to put it back to .exe, as quite a lot of people don't. I suppose its a good idea from gmails point of...

Although I'm not on the omnipod myself, I know it is definitely NHS funded,as I was offered it over two years ago as one of my options. I use the Accu-Chek Combo, which has the pump and wireless remote. I would recommend everyone to get a pump wireless or not, as it gives you so much more...

I've flown quite a few times with my combo pump, and I've never had any problems with security. I've flown to the USA, Domincan Republic, Cape Verde, and on several European flights. I nomally just walk through the metal detector and show them the pump. Most staff now know exactly what they...
