I was the same nearly 60 years ago @Tony337 and also not getting the banana sandwich when everyone else did. I got cheese or cold meat if I was lucky!!

Another one using tubed Tandem, which has never leaked. Have you talked to your hospital team? Leaked insulin can be due to not rotating sites well, or pods becoming loose.

Not heard of that @lovinglife as I'm in a similar situation with all my nails.

Can you rub Vick on when the chilblains have split the skin @Outlier as I've got terrible ones on my hands.

It's the range my hospital team use.

Welcome to the forum @LBurt2001 Edited as posted before I'd finished - So sorry this has happened to you, and I hope you can find a solution.

Sorry I'm not sure what you're asking me @Dweezil

I remember too. Fast approaching 60 years with T1.

Well done. We're all different @Tony337 but I wouldn't eat if I was in double figures either.

I presume Abbott will replace the sensor(s) you have to remove, the same as Dexcom did for me when I had an MRI.

I'd suggest contacting your eye specialist for a supportive letter to continue Gliclazide, and as @Rachox said stand your ground

So pleased for you @Rosie9876

Sorry you've both had such trying times. Hope your sensor is now connecting @Tony337 and your next pod/site works well @Marie 2 Technology is great .... until it doesn't work and then it's a pain!!

I'd happily use test strips that were only out of date by such a short time, (at least for the ones I use), as I've found them just as accurate. I can't comment on the Gluco Navii though, as I've never tried them.

It can be 1, 2 or 3 years. Have you had any hypo's where you've needed help, or any other medical conditions that you've had to declare to the DLA? Just reapply next year, and hopefully you'll get it for 3 years.
