    COVID Vaccine elegibility

    Hi I'm 60, T1 and have had all the COVID jabs offered but this year my GP refused me one with my regular flu jab appointment. Apparently I don't qualify... Has anyone else experienced this? Have the rules changed? Any advice welcome! Ian

    Close loop insulin pump funding NHS

    Insulin Operating Temperature Range with Pump

    I use OmniPod 5 with NovoRapid. I find that on the third day of the pod, I have to to keep manually bolusing to keep up with rising readings, and wonder if the insulin is less effective on the third day? Reading the instruction leaflet, it says in use store below 30°C, but insulin in a 3 day pod...

    Close loop insulin pump funding NHS

    I've been on Omnipod since early September, in Oxford HA, and Dexcom CGM for 4 years before that, due to hypo-unawarenes. That unawareness seems to be the biggest factor in my progress through the admin stages which are very slow, but progressive.
