Thanks a million. I spotted kids ones earlier but I’ll look again x

Hi guys. I’m going on holiday to the sun soon. Am only using the tandem t-slim II since September. I’m got a belt from Amazon with a window. It works fine but I’m wondering about leg belts or anything other than black. Amazon seem limited in Ireland. I’m conscious of wearing it and sweating too...

Hi. Does anyone else have issues with their g7? I am always having to calibrate. So many times I do a finger prick and the g7 is 4 or 5 or even 10 mmol units off. I used the g6 before and did not have this problem, I am think of reverting ..it’s so frustrating as it defeats the whole purpose...

Do you know how long you’ve had HepC? Also how long have you had diabetes? I got Hep c years ago from infected blood products to clot my blood but there has been a question mark as to that being also responsible for the onset of my type 1 diabetes. I have slight hypothyroidism too. My lft’s...

Would it be worth asking your specialist anout getting a scan of your organs ie pancreas and/or liver maybe other organs too. Liver can play a big part in insulin production when you’re taking insulin (I only found this out recently) so it might be worth considering. I’m no doctor but to me it...

Hi Karen. It sounds to me like his Basal insulin might need to be decreased. They usually suggest to do a basal test during the night where your dad sets an alarm for 3 or 4am and tests his sugars then. If the basal (background insulin) dose is correct, there should not be a dip during the...

It’s the prize at the end of all the struggle that gets you there. Good luck with no 2 xx

@Niecie you’re on your third pregnancy after 12 years. Wishing you all the best of luck with everything. Sorry you’re finding this one difficult. I am definitely working on getting my sugars under control. I have a great Doctor who has specialists working with him from renal to psychiatric to...

Gosh @claire1991 ...another scary pregnancy. So horrible for you that you got your sugars so well under control and then unfortunately caught the flu. Our bodies really take over sometimes and in turn the Diabetes takes over our body! Great news that you and baby are fine now. Congrats x

Thanks @AmandaD for your feedback. The CGMS are great overall. I have recently got one and I know it would be brilliant throughout a pregnancy. Strange that your thyroid was affected. Your hypos sound scary altogether. Well done on keeping your sugars down and so glad for you that your babies...

Gosh @nessals946. You’re a warrior. You obviously managed your baby very well with only partial sight too. I love your sense of humour “Diabetes is the gift that keeps on giving” xx

Thanks a million @himtoo. I really appreciate it. Ps that’s my dog, Polly [emoji6]x

So glad your eyesight wasn’t affected at all. I also have retinopathy and have had laser and surgery. I have neuropathy but normal blood pressure thankfully. Your blood pressure..17 tablets omg [emoji50]. It sounds horrific alright..gosh!!
