Ahh okay, I will give it a try on the next sensor change then and see how I get on thankyou! Yeh im loving the g6! I was on Libre before it and woe what a difference in accuracy and reliability too!

Hey folks, so I switched to dexcom G6 a few months ago so I could go onto the Tslim pump. The clinic have recommended to try the G6 on my stomach when my arm needs a brake however I am a front sleeper and worried laying on it all night could cause faults? Anyone else a front sleeper and have...

Thanks it looks like the worst that could happen is I could develop insulin resistance but let's be honest it could be worse

I was in a similar situation as u not long ago... I was on Novorapid and Levimer and it wasn't working for me... So we changed it to 3 injections of Novorapid (breakfast, lunch, dinner and whenever I snack I take an extra 5 units in between meals) and Tresiba just before bed and since then it's...

Hi, I'm a female to male transgender and I'm going to be starting hormones within the next 6 months.... Does anyone know if this will effect my blood sugars or effect anything to do with my diabetes? Any ideas or help are welcome thanks

DEFINITELY!!! would be so much easier! Especially for us young ones that are active all the time so we're more interested in doing our sports and then forget to do our insulin so it would be so much easier!

Everything is going great!!! Iv had a couple hypos and about 1 high but everything is going good other then that! Not forgot any of my injections and even injection at school is fine so y'all were right nothing to worry about

I will! I test a lot anyway bit I'll test more and I'll write them down more often too because sometimes I'll check my blood sugars and then not write it down in the diary so I'll make sure to write it down every time

Okay went to clinic today and it's not as bad as I though... 4 injections 3 fast acting and 1 long acting so fast acting 8 units at breakfast then 8 at lunch then 10-12 and before bed 22 units of long acting... I'm still a bit worried on how my blood sugars are going to react, and they said that...

I constantly test anyway so that won't be a problem, and what Iv over heard is that it will be fast acting insulin morning lunch and dinner then before bed a long acting.. And no not learnt anything about card counting but I'm hoping to some point this year as I'm wanting to start in the pump...

Yeah I will make sure to ask every question I need to and make sure I fully understand everything before I leave meeting with them.. I'll write down every question/worry I have tonight and hand them the paper cause I don't wanna forget anything and thankyou

I don't use a pump and I can say I have no clue about them but with me being on injections I can say that I went through a time where once I had taken my insulin before bed it wouldn't work we changed my injection sight and had the pen checked over and that made no difference we then tried more...

Ok so Iv got the diabetic clinic tomorrow and we're changing from 3 injections to 4 injections a day and I'm really anxious about as I'm insulin sensitive so if we change something by 1 unit of insulin blood sugars go all over the place so going onto 4 injections a day is really scary I guess...

Okay thanks guys o have made an appointment for the 13th this month for the diabetic clinic to see is we can do something so either changing about my insulin or possibly starting to learn carb counting

Well once I have all those dextrose tablets I wait 15 minutes to have a few biscuits and then 30-50 minutes later I recheck as this is what I was told to do by my diabetic nurse
