I have had the same pains and lack of sleep - without being incorrect - look at the posts on Benecol on this site. Jgos

Hi there - I am using the Navigator (Abbott) CGM and the Omnipod pump. They work really well together. I started with the CGM about 4/5 yrs ago - I took the decision that I wasn't going to get this from the NHS so took the leap and did it myself. It was the best thing I have done. I can do...

emmaw - dont lose it. I have the same about venting and its odd that others dont. There is so much on these sites of "doing well" - I am new to the forum thing - but also know that a rant is sometimes better than a "why me" moment ! To make you laugh, my brother, who a great artist, suggested...

I started to travel alot for biz four years ago - the best for me has been CGM Navigator or use the Dexcom unit. My colleges know to look at my pda if if beeps, be it in a pub (5 hours the wrong way in NY) or in London. They all see which way the arrow is moving and I have never had a problem...

I will make you laugh - i carry a CGM (Navigator) - Omnipod PAD - Blackberry and an iPhone. So workis easy, I had a suit made with six small pockets in the lining !! But when casual, ie beach or evening I am stuffed - especially if I am carrying test strips to calibrate !! Man bag for the...

I have travelled with both Frio packs - duo and single - I used the single in the back of my cycle shirt - always worked - now on a disposable pump - so moving on with the heat issues. FRIO is good and works - dont fret - just be sensible. Gos

Russ Having read through your posts it sounds very familar. I have ended up going over to the new Omipod pump which is an external pump - I change it every three days and have a CGM as wel, so two things on my arm that dont bother me at all. It takes out the Lantus or Lavemir. Now just on...

Never heard about the Glab mini momitor and I thought I was bad. Who is it made by ? and why not use a standard bit of kit ? All Lifestyle strips are paid for by the glorious NHS!

Just a general question to everyone or anyone - I have three boys and am meant to be a responsible parent - but recently I really loath the whole diabetic thing. Just not fair, hard work and a pain in the backside. Its one of those lows I guess - just need to pull my socks up and get on with...

Vikki Thanks for that - does the Dexcom show good time in picking up the hypo - ie not over shoot ? I have found that the Navigator has a trail time where the meter is late at picking up the trend and therefore when exercising I can take too much glup than needed ? Gos

Happy to talk - just started an OmniPod pump - finding it difficult and 44 yrs old! anyhow let me know - done alot of work on these things !!

Not sure how this all works being new to the forum - but Vicki your comments ring a big bell with me. I use Navigator CGM but am looking to move to Dexcom, it has much better 7 day data. Just started on the OminPod so have two things on my arm. Finding it hard at times but I have stppoed the...

I have used this for over a year - but become obsesed with the meter having to be with me all the time - is anyone eles out there using this ?

I have been type 1 for 17 years - still cry and ask why me ! It does get better - i am new to this site stuff - the best is to understand that we are all different. But CM is good. :)
