Is there a current list of monitors available and their pros and cons? I've been on the mobile for years happily but my 'second' monitor has just broken so I think it's time to resign them as they aren't available. I loop so it's mainly checking against dexcom and occasionally ketones...

Come and have a look at android aaps on Facebook or twitter. None of those pumps will close loop but it might be worth having a conversation and pushing for a Dana pump which will close the loop with xdrip. Good luck!

And as far as I know Tandem is only available if youre on a trial in the uk. Best bet yet again is Dana plus phone. or medshit. Plenty of waterproof phone bags and cases available to tuck into a wetsuit or similar

Yes I'm on Android APS and @tim2000s has been or is, I'm not sure what he is using now. I adore my system and its dropped my a1c from 8.4 to 6.4 in a year. Nearly tripled my time in range, fewer hypos and less bad ones, same with hypers and back in range quicker.

Morrisons sell it frozen - much easier and les mess/washing up. also great easy quick meal :)

If you can speak to your hospital and cancel the 640 order. Tell them you want a Dana pump instead or accuchek combo as @DunePlodder said.

I'm not entirely sure its possible to have any more carbs in a bowl unless you sprinkle it with sugar.

a mince pie has on average 40g of carbs. that's 4 slices of bread worth.

I've already got some extras tucked away because I don't want to wait until after Christmas to start preparing. I would rather be prepared and not need it than not prepare and need it.

If you want to self fund the easiest way is to go and get one from a chemist - they aren't on backorder and can be cheaper depending where you go. These is a thread on it somewhere. Completely understand though the rest, I've self funded a dexcom for 5 years now mostly. It can work out cheaper...

I find using my back (love handle ish area) is amazing and really comfy.

I cant even imagine not going to a hospital... How do you know you have any access to the most up to date research or meds? how do you find out there are new insulin or technologies available and how do you access them? My Gp wont even give me a script for 1 vial of fiasp or change my insulin...

Are you under the care of a hospital? Personally I don't bother turning up (or booking- I don't waste appointments) for GPs 'diabetic checks' as they are a waste of time. From everything I see DSNs used in the loosest term have an interest but have no real idea unless they are working under a...
