    [emoji638]mmol difference between Libre and G[emoji640]

    Just done my first independent set change too. And it worked! Almost as excited as when I first drove a car solo and that was fifty-one years ago.

    [emoji638]mmol difference between Libre and G[emoji640]

    Smart Guard came on last night, alerted me at two thirty am. There’s nothing like doing blood tests in the early hours to calibrate the sensor! But worth it. So far, I’m loving it. It’s sooooo much better than MDI.

    Just about to enter the learning experience of removing the pump so I can shower. Wish me luck

    Thanks, I’ll try that @Rokaab once I’ve turned on Smart Guard.

    I’ve just started on the Medtronic hybrid loop insulin pump today. Woohoo. However, there’s a two mmol difference between Libre Two Plus and Guardian four. A question for those of you with longer experience of G four, does it take a while to bed in and become more accurate? It’s a just a little...

    Advice on Transition from Pump to MDI

    Are you able to get hold of the long acting Humulin? I’m told it has a similar action to Levemir though its profile is slightly less flat. I’ve only just begun pump therapy.

    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.

    Electric induction ovens/Abbott LIBRE sensors

    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

    Very very impressed by your TIR!!!

    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.
