There was a crack in my old Minimed at the end of 4 years use but had new 640g since last November and haven't noticed any cracks

How interesting, I often have eggs but always with a piece of brown toast and lots of butter and hardly ever on their own, although occasionally if there's a cold boiled egg in the fridge and I'm hungry I'll eat it. I haven't noticed any spikes with eggs but now I've read this I'm going to be...

I just detach. For the length of time it's off I've not gone high and neither have I hypoed with the extra exertions! Must have got the timing and balance spot on after all these years

Yes the gel if free but not the little bottles. Some good deals now and again in Boots and other kind of health/fitness sites - sometimes they're half price. I'll be sure to post if I find they're reduced.

Glucojuice is the things that works fastest for me. It beats everything else hands down but it's not cheap, I also like that it comes in measured handy little bottles,

I've been for a morning spa. Detached pump for jacuzzi, steam and sauna and then reconnected whilst relaxing and having read of mags etc. Had massages and never been a problem - I keep my pump by my side for this. I always declare T1 on form but no one has rejected treating me. Always be...

I don't worry about one-offs where it's a bit awkward to change at day 3 so have run to day 4 before now without a problem. If I've changed on day 1 I also go to the evening on day 3 quite often before I change the set. Provided the sight isn't feeling/looking sore or there are no obvious blod...

Hope those ketones are clearing as they are really scary! Are you feeling any better?

Lack of sleep affects my blood sugars the next day terribly. I only need to lose out on what might seem a few hours to my husband but I'm like a rag the next day and my sugars are really high. I believe there's a definite correlation. This is why when I'm ill or stressed its a vicious circle as...

Hia - was there anything on the renewal form that they were concerned about do you know? It's not standard practice to ask for a medical as far as I know unless they've started doing random ones.

Test every hour at that level and take a correction as someone else mentioned. What are you at now? Do you have a bug or anything?

Hubby always ask when blood sugars are high 'have you got those peskys down yet'?

Is the Clarins concentrate ok for oily/combination and sensitive skin do you think?

I'm struggling with sugars as well. A 14 after breakfast which was a real surprise. I'm puttin it down to the change in the seasons as I'm not at all unwell. They went sky after the flu jab on Saturday too. Randomness!!
