I'm eligible for a closed loop system and my healthcare team said they would order me an omnipod 5 but I can only keep it if I use less than 50 units per day, To be honest some days I use around 50 units but some days I use a little more, My question is since going over to a closed loop system...

Sorry I'm not sure of the brand because I heard about this on a tiktok live but they were talking about it working within 7 minutes

I've seen online there is a thing called ultra fast insulin but no one on here is talking about it and the NHS haven't published anything about it which is strange because I believe it could help me with some of the issues I've been having, Does anyone know anything about this insulin and why...

With Chinese new year (spring festival) approaching it's worth reminding you about the benefits of drinking Chinese tea (green tea, oolong, pu-erh, black tea, ect) especially for diabetes [emoji478][emoji477]

I'm trying to find a place that does biosensor tattoos I heard about them years ago and forgot about them since then, but I've seen someone on tiktok with one and I'm now thinking about getting one again If anyone knows of a tattooist that knows anything about the inks and could do some work...

Have you been able to get the closed loop system yet? my hospital has just told me that they are not funded unless I am a pregnant woman which she knows is impossible for me but on the upside I only had to wait six months for the appointment [emoji16]

I also get spikes in the night usually 2 hours before I want to get up and I would give myself 10-15 units without food and go back to sleep but since I've been getting false readings (with my last two sensors) I have just been going back to sleep without injecting as it's only a couple of hours...

My libre 2 CGM has been given some false readings recently for example my scan showed I was on 17.3 so I injected based on this having used a CGM for a couple of years now I didn't question it, this caused a hipo and since then I have been doing finger prick test more often to make sure that I...

It's not about the people that are included, I'm not sure why you're asking about people who can get pregnant, my post is clearly about the people that are not mentioned in the eligibility criteria the fact is diabetes does not discriminate and the NHS hasn't included a large group of people...

I copied and pasted the bullet points straight from the NHS website

So the NHS eligibility criteria for people that wish to be accepted for a closed loop system on prescription, says that if the •HbA1c is 58 mmol 7.4% or more •Children and young people living with T1D •women, trans men and non-binary people living with type 1 diabetes who are pregnant or...

My libre 2 app loses signal and sometimes my high glucose alarm doesn't go off until after I've scanned! Does this happen to anyone else and is there anything I can do (mobile phone settings maybe)??

When I did my Dafne I was told that I could just put them in a general waste bin

NHS isn't free any taxpayer is already paying and the amount you pay is a percentage of your wages so the more you earn the more you pay, so it's already happening. I think that people that have recently changed their citizenship should be the ones that pay more!!!
