Hiya! Well since that initial rocky period I have only had one more fail. Each time I called omnipod, they assured me there was nothing wrong with what I was doing and there was no correlation with sites as they were different each time (I still use these sites and had no problems). So it seems...

Hi, I've recently switched from a medtronic to the Omnipod as I wanted the freedom to be able to do more with my children and lifestyle. It works on that front, however..... I've just finished my first box of omnipods and THREE (out of 10) of them failed. Please tell me this isn't normal...

For me, it depends on the time of day I did yoga, but usually had a hypo at some point during the class, but again, depends on the type of yoga you want to do. With regards to management long term, if you stick with any sport that's new to you, it will eventually lower your insulin requirements...

Sorry to add on, but for my second pregnancy the opposite happened, I was a week further into my pregnancy than my period dates showed! [emoji92]

I haven't had this happen to me, but know of others who have and if you were dating from your last period, it can be difficult to know exactly when you ovulated and when the egg was fertilised and embedded, so sometimes the pregnancy is earlier on than you think, or than the dates show. They use...

Thank you! [emoji171]

Thank you [emoji120] That does help

Hello, Off coronavirus topic..... For the past 2 years my hba1c has been different to my libre estimated a1c by around 5 or 6. Which is quite a lot. Whilst pregnant it was out by 12 (estimated 48 but was 60 on test). When I asked my nurse about it, she told me that anemia will give a false...

Unfortunately the advice is constantly changing, so what we read and acknowledge now may be irrelevant in a few hours. That's the problem with new virus. It's up to each individual how much they want to risk and what impact it will have on their own body/medical condition. I'm not prepared to...

Am a type 1 mum and have just heard the advice for diabetics is to self isolate. I have a toddler and a baby, the toddler goes to a childminder twice a week, wondering if the general consensus is I should self isolate the toddler with me?! Can't keep hubby at home he's self employed electrician...

Hiya, my first section I was on injections and I was told to continue taking as normal, they put me on a sliding scale as well. Second section I had a pump and again, no change to rates until baby was born where you go straight back to prepregnancy doses/rates. Good luck, hope all goes smoothly...

Thank you for the responses. The midwives have been monitoring and been fairly laid back about it because I am a second time mum and baby is happy otherwise and feeding well. Issue is, I can only be under midwife care for the first 28 days, they are checking her one last time on Monday in the...

Hello! I have a 4 week old (2nd baby) born at 37 weeks plus 3 by cesarean due to repeat hypoglycaemia from the placenta dying off. She was 9lb4oz at birth, hba1c during pregnancy was 45-52. She was in icu for 3 days having oxygen (had fluid on her lungs from cesarean) and they had her on a...

Hello. I'm on medtronic 640g and every time I go swimming the set comes off, it is absolutely useless getting wet, whether in a pool or the sea. Does anyone have any tips or help on how to keep it secure? I'm off to centre parcs next week so don't really want to have to do a set change every...
