We’re the same. We had SystmOnline and now it’s Airmid UK. I can do repeat prescription requests but they always ignore anything you add in the notes. Even if you submit a request that is only a note asking for something else or a repeat to be reissued. It’s full of blank sections, I think...

They don’t do emails, I tried to call but they wouldn’t talk about prescription requests on the phone. I’m going to drop off a letter today and see if they do anything. Can anyone tell me what wording they use for the cartridges on prescription sheets? Is it just humalog cartridge? I do worry...

Yes, I have single use pens in the fridge as my back up. I wasn’t sure if the suction (?) and connection would make it a bit messy. I have used a reusable pen before having a pump but that was years ago so no longer have them on repeat. At the surgery here it’s incredibly difficult to get...

Do you think it would be possible, but messy, to get the humalog out of the pens to fill a pump?

Here we go, it’s made the papers - https://amp.theguardian.com/society/2024/apr/28/insulin-shortages-stress-anxiety-uk-diabetes-patients-type-1

Thanks for that. I couldn’t find anything much about it.

Same problem here. I ordered on the 4th March and my pharmacy haven’t been able to get any. Nothing else for miles around. Someone as the surgery said she’d call around for me but I heard nothing so tried myself. The doctors have now prescribed me Admelog which I was told is bio similar and has...

Just to add, it’s the LibreLink app I use and I have seen the compatible phones thread here which is really helpful but my problem is with the alarms, the phone is great with general scanning and the app.

Hi Everyone Hope you can help me. How do those of you using an iPhone and Libre 2 get on with the warning alarms? I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max and have not managed to get it to give the low/high blood glucose alarms, only occasionally would it work and it didn’t seem to be related to how...

I don’t pipe up much but I just want to say please don’t beat yourself up. No one is perfect and things are different for everyone. Writing this post was very brave, it’s not too late and you’ve got some great replies here. Be kind to yourself ❤️

I have wondered about the home contents insurance and the fact that the pump is going to be out and about. It’s horrible when these things let you down. The policy handover stuff is weird isn’t it? Plus it’s been communicated as though it’s some kind of secret information, first the Burnett’s...

I got a very quick reply from insurance4insulinpumps after emailing them about cover if I had an epileptic fit. They said they still cover for it so I’ve gone back to them. They seem like a good company and I like that it’s so specific to our needs. Called Burnetts and was amazed how easy it was...

Thanks for the replies so far. The way things are set up at the moment I don’t have home insurance under my name so can’t do it that way. I think I’ll go back to insurance4insulinpumps but ask them a fresh about what would happen if my pump was damaged due to epilepsy. I’m not looking forward...

Hello everyone, I usually just lurk around here but I’ve got a dilemma that I’m sure a few of us will share and I’m wondering what you all think. It’s seems the background company for insurance4insulinpumps has changed. I got an email last night saying there had been ‘important changes’...

Thanks guys. Lots of votes for aveeno here but the company that makes that is involved in animal testing so I'd like to avoid them. I'll maybe try the Shea butter or the body shop and like a few of you have done; try testing to see if they change my BG result.
