5th injection onto Bydureon and things are looking up. After my 5th injection I have only had some slight nausea and belching. My blood sugars are looking fantastic and I am glad that I have persevered with the nausea. BG'S are so good that I have even bordered on hypo, so definitely time to...

So, tomorrow I will be injecting my third Bydureon dose. I am two weeks into it and approaching the third. So far I have felt nauseous for the night after the dose and for the two days after the dose, unpleasant but tolerable. I am starting notice a difference in my blood sugar readings, some...

Thanks Tim. I am a frequent tester so I am prepared for that. I expect to be nauseous but am prepared to eat small meals to.combat this. Carbsrok; Bydureon isn't licensed in this country for type 1 but my consultant, an endocrine Professor, has prescribed it for me and he had done a lot of...

Hello. I am a pump user and have been started on Bydureon today in the hope that it will help to reduce my insulin intake and to help prevent my glucose production. Are there other pump.users taking bydureon and if so, how are you getting on with it. Many thanks for any response.

Dear Friends I wonder if anyone might have some advice for me? I have been using my pump for three years now and i have been having problems with my infusion sites for over a year. I favour my stomach area but have used the love handles as well. My problem is that after having a set in for 24...

Dear All I was interested to know if anyone has the Cellnovo Pump system and also whether anyone knows if it is available on the NHS in Plymouth? I am due a new pump from this month onwards and am interested in this one. Many thanks Emma

Type 1 at aged 4. I am now 40 and use an insulin pump.

Hi. Thanks for your reply. I do prime the set and the tube and give myself a standard bolus of 1.0 unit to get into the canular but still to no avail. Its almost as if it all of sudden starts to push through after the 12 hours but until then I just have horribly high readings. this morning for...

Hi everyone. I have not posted for a long time but would be interested to know if anyone else has problems with their infusion sets for the first 12-24 hours? Every time I put a new set in (the recommended every three days) I get high BG's for anything from 12-24 hours with 12 being the norm...

Advice and thoughts are very much appreciated. Bring on the next few months and I will try to keep you posted (pardon the pun). x

I made a post several months ago when I was first considering pumps and what they entailed. I am pleased, no thrilled to say that I was accepted for having a pump by my consultant on Christmas Eve at midday! I was so relieved and happy that I cried like a baby - what a christmas present. I am...

Thanks for your reply, lots to deal with when you are a restless sleeper, my sympathies to you. I have my appt with the DSN today and already feel more confident thanks to the replies from the forum members. Many thanks once again.

Thank you - I have my appointment today and thanks to the replies that I have had from this forum, I feel more confident that the sleeping thing will not be too much of a problem. Many thanks again.

Thanks for the link. Have already had a look and looks like a simple but effective way to manage it. Many thanks.

This sounds like a great idea and I have a yo yo at home somewhere so will give it a try over the weekend. Many thanks.
