Yeah, breakfast was a single slice of toast. Pump had dispensed 20u badal from 12am and I added another 14u as bolus. May have been the black coffee as well

I was on the libre 2, was nowhere near in range at anytime. Never fell off. Spoke to endo who agreed they aren't the best and got the god tier or sensors, the Dexcom g6, that thing would connect to an omnipod if it was in a different county . Then dexcom decided to end the g6 and I have the g7...

No, they do used fiasp in pumps in UK. Clinic i am at prescribe it. Even my GP mentioned it, but like I said, all down to costs as it is cheaper.

Yeah, it failed

I am using novorapid in an omnipod, only because they won't give me human insulins. Was emptying a pump every 24hrs and bg was all over. Hba1c did drop from 54 to 45 after getting the omnipod, though i was injecting 28u of humilin i daily to try and gain control. Consultant noticed the serious...

Well to be technical, you do produce very tiny amounts of insulin still, immune system does not complete total wipeout of your beta cells. This can be confirmed by a c-peptide test.

T1 for 32yrs, been on omnipod for 9months now. In that time hba1c has gone from 61 to 45 apparently a huge win. But they did state that I have a huge amount of insulin resistance and a high cortisol level after a supression test. Been referred to endo for cortisol issues strange as the diabetes...

I bolused 14u for 1.5 slices buttered toast and a caffeine free coffee at 7am, ate at 8am. Then pump gave up and I ended up adding another 16u to get this drop. Had a can of zero sugar monster to pull back above 5. Yes I said zero sugar as it works a treat when you also have cushings, caffeine...

40.5u delivered, of which 10.9u were for breakfast, 4.8u for correction and 24.9u by pump. Breakfast bolus was an hour ago and yet to eat.

As you can see, this is a good day. Bolus just given for breakfast

No, I have done my running around for 10yrs. Done the research for them. I have tipped the jigsaw of issues out in front of them, put the perimeter together and left them to fill in the centre. Have yet again lost faith in services provided. Work have a health insurance policy I may just jump into.

Chased up today as was promised a call back on Tuesday, nothing. Spoke with a dsn who told me they will schedule a meeting soon but couldn't give me a date. So, in the mean time I will be continuing the 16u Humilin I a day alongside daily pump changes. Got my yearly review in July, just waiting...

I get the feeling the next round has just began and I will have to keep pushing for the surgery.

I treat a low once with zero sugar monster, yes it worked as I have Cushings syndrome. Caffeine kicked the cortisol and liver dumped glucose straight back in

Hi All, T1 for 32yrs, currently on an omnipod and g7. Little bit of background, about 10yrs ago my insulin requirements increased quite rapidly. I was on 28u of insulatard and around 36u of actrapid a day. This doubled within 2wks, GP was basically useless as was stating I had no control and...
