Worked out last night I have another year and a half with it [emoji52] Positives though are looking forward to the technology that will come along by then (and not paying thousands for my current pump [emoji28])

Thanks for this. I appreciate all the responses but this is one I relate to. It’s difficult because the carbs to correct the low isn’t being taken into account by the algorithm that auto mode uses which obviously affects what the pump is “thinking” I did once read on another forum that you...

Yes I’m talking about automode with the 670g which you can’t adjust what the basal rate is besides temp target. I could use the manual mode as you say but I’m trying to get automode right

Hi, could do with some help. I’m on a Medtronic 670g and spend 99% of the time in auto mode. I have a fairly active job as a gardener and spend all my working hours in temp target, if I don’t, I have hypos. I’m finding still that my blood sugars are going low throughout the day with temp...

Sorry I’ve not replied to this sooner. I’ve been on holiday. Roche got back in touch and had decided I didn’t need to see the diabetes nurse to discuss and they’d sent 6mm cannula sets for use with my accu check insight and I’ve got to say it’s something I don’t worry too much about anymore...

I’m due to see my diabetes nurse next week for this very issue. I’d worried about it a while ago after losing a lost of weight due to diet changes and sort of stopped worrying. Roche seemed to suggest that it’s not the length of the needle that’s the issue but the angle. Either way they...

Thanks. Exactly what I was looking for

Thanks for the helpful advice. People like you are really why I keep coming back to this forum. Anyone else who isn’t trying to be clever got any suggestions for specific sites as I don’t always trust online stores I’ve never used or heard of before

Hello, does anyone know where I can buy some low carb nuts and seeds online for delivery in the uk? I’d looked at Holland and Barrett but wondered about any alternatives Thanks in advance

Hi I’ve just discovered I’ve had the time set on my pump at an hour ahead for some reason. I’m a bit confused what to do as if I just change to the correct time, it’ll technically put my basal rate back an hour. Can someone advise me on how to transition this over? Am I moving the basal...

Thanks for the replies everyone. Apologies for my impatience, I really appreciate these forums but I’ve found most questions I’ve posted haven’t had much or any of a response. Anyway, I’m thinking at the moment that I just try get my blood sugar stable again. I’ve been dropping down by 0.1 for...

Can’t find the thread but recently saw a thread regarding there being no type 1’s around here. I don’t wish to sound unappreciative but 0 replies in a 20 hour period is probably the reason why.

Hi, been a diabetic for last 15 years or so and never been quite sure on managing my basal rate on my pump. Always had very good hba1c. Recently read about basal rate peaks/valleys as described here and became a bit concerned about mine as there’s a lot. (See here...

@nickm what do they gain from (supposedly) lying about not eating carbs?

I’ve just had the similar issue since recently very nearly going vegan. I’ve now started eating a bit of salmon or tuna and eggs a lot more. I appreciate your decision though to not want to eat any meat/fish. Have you considered any quorn products or anything similar? I believe they have milk...
