Tapatalk app works quite well and does not have the emoji issue It's a good stand-in until the official app hits the stores

The only thing that prevented me switching is the small reservoir size if the omnipod it only holds 200u and I use close to 100u a day, so would not achieve the 3 days of the pod Oh and tge fact that in the UK you can use a mobile phone you need the PDM so actually that can be more hassle than...

If the instant is already paired it will refuse further pairings so you need to delete those on the meter If there is no menu todo that you can reset the meter the instruction are easily found on Google involves taking the batteries out

Yes pairings are also stored on the accuchek you need to delete those too

Are you pairing through the app or trying through the phones Bluetooth settings? Have you deleted all Bluetooth pairings in the meter?

I think we all get a rise in the morning, it's the body preparing to wake up and for the day ahead I think it's more a case of how much each individual rises and how the body deals with it A non diabetic body would get the extra release of glucose but the body would instantly break it down...

I think knowledge is improving at one point most over 30's were told they were type 2.. as was the case for me It was only my pushing my consultant 8 years later that I was going to stop insulin that further testing was done and they said "well you can't because you are t1" Even a lot of...

On the test strip pot there is a range that a solution should read if the test falls within that it's correct Also it's control solution not calibration solution

I think it's as they stated, they want to get the basal levels correct first then work on the bolus It is easier to see the effect of basal without bolus because slightly too much bolus will make it difficult to know which insulin is the problem

If you are using a libre or dexcom you MUST confirm with a BG before treating you can get false lows . Excessive pressure on the sensor can cause a false low as can dehydration and a faulty sensor

Another side effect of insulin for many who use insulin is a growth hormone.. as such it can cause undesired weight gain Which if T2 it is due to poor diet and or being overweight insulin can actually make things worse overtime So insulin should where possible go along with good diet and...

Incorrect it's not a mix.. it's was commonly used for basal before levemir and lantus.. I used it for several years as a basal as I had side effects to levemir Humulin I is considered an intermediate acting insulin, which means unlike levemir where it lasts for 16 to 20 hours, humulin I only...

There is less flexibility with the mixes, the are generally used in cases where people don't carb count and just have a couple of injections a day The mix is just the fast and slow insulin mixed so it won't work any faster There could be issues where the sites you are using have been over used...

One other issue might be that the ypso has a much smaller reservoir And if course it only work on android

Yes and if you go in the arm with fast actioning is normally even faster One thing to remember is that fat density and muscle amount/density change all over the body so it's only sound reasoning that absorption will change In the same way blood test are more reliable from finger blood that...
