Hospital clinic i am at is one of the leading clinics in the UK, have patients flying in from Southampton. They are part of the university. Also being on a pump and cgm means that a GP surgery has none of the access or training for this. In fact a GP has little diabetes training

GP does not decide which Insulin you take , hospital clinic monitors your usage with sensor data. So as long as the hospital clinic do not change it, it is of no concern to them. QOF i amnwell aware if and you donrealise if a GP practice repeats wjat a hospital clinic hasvalready completed, they...

My time in range was 84% before going on omnipod 5. 6months later it is now 14%. Hba1c has risen from 50 to 64. 200u of novorapid in the pump may last 36hrs. Previously I was taking a combined 84u daily of humilin I and humilin s. Got to the point I am adding 16u of humilin I alongside the pump...

Dear xxxx, I am writing to formally request a change in how my diabetes care is recorded on my GP record. I currently receive all my clinical management, including all blood tests (HbA1c, kidney function, etc.), via the xxxx Diabetes Clinic. My foot care is managed privately. My only...

Well i fixed the issue after some discussion and debate, dumped the libre and all of it's faults and now on dexcom g6. Can honestly say it is smooth sailing now.

Well you say awake hypos. I had a sleep hypos and GP informed the dvla of it upon renewal. I provided evidence from the ambulance report, GP was wrong and a nice letter from the DVLA basically called them out on it and pointed them to some learning material. Still took 3months to sort, but DVLA...

Never had covid or the jabs, was insulin resistant long before covid was in a lab.

Tresiba lasted if lucky 6hrs with me, so did tail off massively for me, doesn't work the same for everyone. Glargine worked better but that stuff caused other issues. Insulatard may be old school but it works fine for me and the costs work out cheaper than using tresiba as I take a third of the...

Cortisol will spike your bm's like crazy. Found magnesium helps

No, get same issue on my work iphone 14 running ios 18.2 as i get on my S24 Ultra and the useless 'Tap to open' while it is already open.

T1 for 32 years, only insulin resistance i had was when they forced me on to analog insulins, ended up at one point on more than 80u of tresiba comapred to the 28u of insulatard i was taking previously. Same for when i was given apidra and then humalog to go with the tresiba, insulin dosages...

Sorry to hear of your injuries. I suffered from seizures 24yrs ago, only while asleep. They thought i was having hypoglycemic seizures but after a few nights in hospital they realised i was not dropping lower than 7, so they were not caused by a hypo. I was sent to for a brain scan which showed...

I started getting this error when moved to the libre 2+, didn;t happen on the old libre 2 sensors. Have since got a new phone and installed the app from the playstore and issue persists. Thinking it was an android issue i added the app to my work iphone and guess what? Issue remains there.

I did this before, but I was on actrapid at the time. Took 40u of Actrapid instead of 40u Insulatard, as we all know Actrapid has a slow release profile over 8hrs, so wasn't really an issue. Just waited till morning to take Insulatard after eating some carbs to compensate.

What is the active time of the insulin you are on? Is it a rapid, fast or intermediate insulin?
