I am using G6 and had iOS 11.4.1 and it’s working fine for me, I have had no signal loss issues.

I got my results last week after having had them say background retinopathy on and off for a few years, so was pretty upset and shocked that mine said I had signs of maculopathy and need to be seen again in 3 month. Luckily I know a bit from having a medical science degree but there was no...

I am somewhat reassured that it only requires surveillance, and will still be seeing optician as like you say I may just need new glasses or reading glasses. Do you think I should contact Gp’s about cholesterol though? I’m generally not keen on unnecessary medication but total cholesterol was 5...

So I am trying very hard not to panic because I know the whole point of screening is to spot things early, but I have to admit it is scaring me a little. I have had type 1 for 17 years and am 32. I have had very poor control in my younger years and generally have only had reasonable control...

Yes I'll definitely ask again, as I also want a copy of blood results too. I'm sure it will be nothing but hate waiting and not knowing! It's not urgent so I'm guessing it could be a while before I find out!

Phoned today and GP said he didn't know what it was/meant so he will write to ophthalmology with a copy of the letter and see what they say/if they need to look. He did read out what they had written which I admit I should have probably written down as not sure if exact wording now but something...

I'm not too concerned, i'm sure it will turn out to be nothing! My GP surgery phoned today to say bloods last week showed vit D deficient (although she told me number and it seemed fine to me so not too sure but I'm there for annual review next week so can confirm!) and so I asked about the...

So this morning I got results of my annual retinopathy screening. The good news was nothing has changed retinopathy wise but at the bottom of the letter it states 'we have noted a non-diabetes related eye issue which may need further assessment, we have written to your GP and suggest you contact...

I like the range in Sainsbury's, it's my closest supermarket and walking distance. Some stuff is cheaper to buy unprepared but I honestly couldn't bear to make my own butternut squash noodles or lasagne sheets, or even to mess about making broccoli or cauliflower rice, so I like being able to...

I got the email from dexcom today about android availability as I enquired with them a while ago, but didn't get one with the £150 offer as if I had I'd be buying next week as would really like to at least trial it! I filled in contact me form again on their site over Christmas and this has just...

I have the odd few days where bg's just seem to get stuck, I'm sure I need to change my correction factor or something but then it suddenly changes again. I try to just keep correcting and keep an eye on it whilst also making sure it's not getting dangerous so keeping an eye on ketones too, and...

So I've been googling and scouring the App Store but I'm not really sure exactly what to look for! I'd love any recommendations for any great all round tracking apps. I have an iPhone and Apple Watch, and currently use libre and omnipod though I am considering switching to dexcom G5 in near...

So I guess I'm not sure what i'm hoping for by posting, maybe ideas for what to do next but I don't know what do next! I had really made a huge effort to exercise more (mostly walking/swimming/yoga) in the last few months of last year and was doing well, but I started to get pain in my left hip...

I got letter yesterday to say I am booked in to choose my new pump in sept, currently using accu check combo, I used a medtronic before this though and looks like they offer accu check, medtronic, animas or omnipod and I really am not sure which way I'm leaning at the moment! Heard so many...

I have meter and pump supplies with me when I fly and unless asked I never even mention what's in my bag and it has never been mentioned! Sometimes my pump gets swabbed but nothing in my bag has been an issue!
