Thank you

About 45 mins apparently.

Type 1. ..Has anyone had one of these? As it's deliberately increasing your heart rate as exercise does, how do I judge what to do before I.e. carbs/insulin?.. Can you wear a sensor? I will ask but just wondered if anyone knew. Thanks!

What is the tdeal for a Type 1? I had a 24hr bp monitor and the doctor said being 130 approx in the day and 140 approx from 6pm to 8am (when I take meds)is fine. I also have glaucoma. So I'm worried tbh!

I have been prescribed Prednisolone to help me recover from chest infection. I took them yesterday morning and my blood sugar rocketed to 19 y early evening. My GP said nothing about this happening. I was awake half the night restless and by morning my sugar was normal after correction. No idea...

Can anyone help with this? Which arm do they put the cuff on? Can I even weara sensor? Help! Getting no answers anywhere

Hi, does anyone know if the cuff can be worn on same arm as sensor? Fitting monitor tomorrow. Getting no reply from hospital

Thank you! That has made me feel better [emoji4]

Thank you. I have always been in range with this so was panicky, especially after 44 yrs diabetic but calmer now.

Thank you! Yes they have asked for a repeat. Don't know how long to wait though?

Hi, a urine test has just shown my albunin/creatinine ratio as 3.16, should be less than 3. Anyone had this borderline figure? What treatment did you have. Can it be caused by a UTI? Does it mean kidney failure?

Thanks. I suppose if you don't want to Bluetooth then the 5 is fine?

Whatis the latest version of Novopen please? I am on 5.ifeel asif I'm behind the times, my nurses don't ever suggest new equipment

Hi, thanks for your reply. Well, I have come off it and gone back to Novorapid. I had a nasty hypo one day, where it took too long to get my level up. The next days it wasn't doing anything! Literally. I must have stayed at 9 for about 23hrs. And whereas I was always in range overnight, On this...

I am surprised how quick it works as I am quite overweight at the moment due to other health issues. But that is what I wanted. It's hard changing to another insulin after years on Novorapid!
