    lower back pain and dry mouth

    Dehydration then, and possible diverticulosis? Just wondering, you’l need to see a medic professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment

    lower back pain and dry mouth

    It could be unrelated to Type One. Maybe it’s be a good idea to ask your doctor to look at anything and everything that sits within the area where the pains occur: colon, lower spine, musculature?

    New pump option

    Have you chosen @sona chandi? If you look at the Type One threads you’ll see an item by @CheeseSeaker that announces the possibility of fully closed loop using a CamAps link

    Fully Closed Loop - First commercial system announced

    This is good news. If one achieves it the rest will no doubt do their best not to be left behind.

    Ditto, and I love our induction hob.

    Insulin to carb ratio

    I think I’ll just have to settle for a conventional closed loop, when I get one . . . A few years on it would take me into my eighties by which time my daughters will have begun to divvy up the spoils. (Joke, they’re not like that!)

    Insulin to carb ratio

    It sounds way beyond my tech capabilities to install @CheeseSeeker, plus I’d need to move to android which would be a wrench after years of iOS. I wonder how it’d mesh with a Medtronic HCL when the area NHS lot finally get their act together to give me the training on it.

    Travel letter

    Hello @SalRead[emoji637], If you saved it in the Cloud then you should be able to retrieve it using a different laptop or smartphone. Maybe if you take your laptop to an IT shop and ask them if they can troubleshoot then the techs might be able to get hold of it for you, assuming you have all...

    When I was a lad it was a long while ago

    I think I remember seeing adverts for that watch @jawak but we were skint in the 80s and had two small children to feed and clothe. I do remember a sense of elation when the first blood sugar strips came on prescription. At last it was possible to see whether glucotabs were needed rather than...

    Neuropathy

    I really don’t know what can be causing these symptoms @DiabeticDi, but maybe a visit to a GP is called for.

    Faulty libre 2+

    I’ve found it’s a mixed bag of reporting a failure, just depends on who you get on the Abbott end of the phone. The last time I had a faulty sensor the issue was sorted in five minutes, the Abbott person swiftly recorded the fault and then went straight to ‘We’ll send you a new one’.
