The main reason I qualified for a pump was the number of injections I was doing a day to keep a decent h1c. Around 8 to 10 / day.

Maybe Xdrip will work? It's a third party app but works 100% for me with the Dexcom G6. I'm using an ageing Xiaomi Android.

Snap! I've had mine since November and absolutely love it. Once you get it dialed in there's no looking back. Did you get the G6 or G7?

Just wishing my hospital had funding for a G6 or G7. They told me nothing for at least a year.... Grrr.

I get what you're saying but getting your blood sugar levels under some sort of control must be the immediate priority. Then you'll need to work backwards - reduce a little weight, do what exercise you can and reduce insulin a little as your body hopefully become less insulin resistant. It will...

Ah, sorry I missed the left arm bit of your message! That is odd then! I used Libre 1 and then Libre 2 for years. Never had any problem like this and I was using all sorts of alternative sites and 3rd party apps.

Is there any other phone you could try? Just to exclude that being the problem.

Before using a pump I was on Levemir for years and never worked out a decent basal regime. My DN convinced me to try Tresiba and my overnight levels became a lot smoother and flatter, and only needed one basal shot a day.

I think anyone can get sleepy after a big meal. A snooze after a Sunday roast anyone!

You didn't reach your goal but I'm sure you were closer to it with insulin than without.

What about a Glucagon kit - hang about while I make my way to med tent and back?

Wow, just wow! That's really encouraging.

I remember being ravenous after being diagnosed. I put it down to regaining the weight I had lost. Can't remember how much but something like 8 to 10 kgs.

Hi. The ratio shows how much 1 unit of insulin should drop your blood sugar. If you want a bigger correction dose you need to lower the second number. Hope that helps.

As it happens I had an unrelated heart scare 3 years ago which turned out to be nothing. However they did lots of tests and scans and everything was as clean as a whistle in there.
