Evening, Unsure if anyone has come across this issue before but I would be surprised if I am the only one? I currently am on the Medtronic 640G and self fund the Dexcom G6. My pump was due to change in February but it then got moved due to the pandemic, then around April I spoke to the clinic...

I have been working nights for a good few years now. As some have said above nights alone seems to work better for me than when I did a mixture of shifts including nights as now I only have to deal with my days on or off. I don't find the control to bad, I am on medtronic pump and have dexcom...

Thanks for all the replies. Really helpful to know what's happening although it does seem like everything with the NHS there is no set rule looking at some of the differences you have above. I will give it a couple of weeks and see if they contact me and if jot I will then start the process...

Hi, My warranty is due to end on my 640g in February and I was just wondering what everyone's experiences have been duri g lockdown. I have always been quite well controlled and as such generally just have check up appointments as required with my consultant and the odd phonecall to the...

Didn't realise you cannot sign up until you are needing a new transmitter that is a bit rubbish as I have just got a new one. I like the look of the first option as I get somewhere around 2.5-3 weeks so that would suffice and hopefully I will find places to stretch that, then with any...

Sorry yes the UK. I am using the sugermate which is good but am also looking forward to the dexcom app as hopefully won't need data like the sugermate app. I haven't hear about the update times, if it is that in the USA at the moment maybe they will change that with the UK version too?

Had the dexcom g5 fitted Friday and was talking to the rep about the watch app.that morning she had an email saying 11 days until launch so fingers crossed will be with us sooner rather than later......

Bit of a resurrection of old thread but wanted people's opinion who were using the medtronic Enlite. Are you still using or have you moved to another? What time spans are you getting now, have you found a method to consistently get longer than the 6 days? Does positioning/taping help with...

just wondering if anyone using the libre has a cheap android phone they use just for scanning, I have a Xperia z5 but dropped it and when trying to start a sensor it would not connect with NFC, I used my other halfs phone and all is working so the drop obviously damaged the NFC but apart from...

It sounds like you are doing the right thing with pushing for a different consultant if you are not happy with with the one you have. Sadly there is no 1 way to treat diabetes as we are all different which means that consultants have different ideas of what works best and while it may for one it...

Look at all the support here, you are not alone.as already said don't worry about the graphs and everything else stick to your numbers and finding a way to control your diabetes in a way that works for you. You will have ups and downs,good days and bad days but use them as learning experiences...

Feeling like a kid at Christmas been having conversations with my consultant for years due to dawn phenomenon then did the carb course in December 2015 and finally getting my pump tomorrow, have gone for the Medtronic and also have a couple of libre sensors being delivered tomorrow to help with...

Morning, After quite a few years of different insulin to try and combat Dawn phenomenon I finally have had a consultant for the last couple of years who felt the pump is the right way to go much to my relief after having a few years with a consultant who wanted to try everything but that. I...

Long time no reply, I have been having a hard time juggling all of it. For anyone wondering or who may find themselves in similar situations and stumble across this I felt I should update to atleast show how mine is going, and yes by that I mean it has not ended yet. So I went in on the...

@AndBreathe thanks for another lengthy reply I really appreciate the time you are taking to offer your insight and thoughts. Firstly yes I am considering a union going forward following this just for peace of mind, I had it for so long and didn't realise that just knowing they are there should...
