I have just started on the Medtrum nano. I love the pump it is small and stays stuck on. Customer service is first class My beef and it is a big beef is that the app on my iPhone stops picking up the sensor after a few days or only picks it up about once an hour. My Abbott app works fine so I...

Hi I am close to getting a closed loop system with my first pump. I was sent a demonstration model of the above and it looks amazing . This has had a high failure rate but the company assure me that is down to 1/500 . It is made in China so I am aware there may be supply problems if things kick...

I use Barclays Travel pack for £12.50 a month and that includes my wife. I am T1 and also have colitis, psoriasis, and asthma. They cover us for the Far East and Canada and the US as well as Europe. We happily have not claimed but others who have appear happy.

Hi my GP surgery in south west London looks after me very well . There offer diabetic trained nurses and semi specialist doctors. If I have a problem they are on it straight away. Looks like it is a bit luck where you live.

This is what worked for me. Call the DVLA and find a option regardless of reason that has a person answering. Not easy but I did manage. I needed mine by early April as I was driving to France and on hearing that they put me on a fast track and the licence arrived 7 days later.

Hi , it easy to forget . I use A Timesulin cap which tells me when I last dosed and it has been a godsend on both insulin types .

Odd I have non of your problems so, I find the NHS staff very helpful and am very grateful for them , my consultations always on time ( it helps if you ask for the first appointment . I don't understand why they don't give you repeats. I have been T1 for 30 years and it has never been a problem. .

Hi mate. I have had to push hard for insulin changes 1) Find out if Tresiba costs the what currently have. 2) Tresiba reducers hypos dramatically especially at night. For me Tresiba has been the single best insulin improvement in the last three decades. It is freely available on the NHS and...

Satins have saved my life and luckily I have no side effects at all. My cholesterol fell from 6 to 2 and I feel great. Take em but if you have side effects change them or stop.

I use a Timesulin cap which tells you when you last doses but not the dose.It has been super useful.

I read this with horror. Get yourself the Abbott Freestyle sensor as it is fast and painless and plots your readings My dosage changes a great deal and sometimes I need twice the short acting insulin and 50 per cent more long acting for the same carbs intake. No one knows why the requirement...

Don’t se her again ask for a colleague. If you don’t like or trust her there is no point in the appointment . You know your condition better than her. If you manage a BS below 4.00 most nights you may loose your warning signals ....

Your employers do not understand your complex needs . I use a snack to fend off a hypo if my blood sugar is 4.0 and on a gradual decline as a snack ought to gradually improve you BS rather than radically improve which is to be avoided but sometimes the only option My new discovery for radical...

If some one has a problem with seeing some injecting they to should consider being supportive. Seeing someone inject is nothing compared to what you have had to deal with. Ask her how she would feel giving herself a jab for the first time. I have been type 1 for 26 years and go to meeting and...
