It came! It's amazing. We made a video on it to help people in the future. Thanks all for your help xx

Hi all! Thank you for your help and advice with the HYPOBAND. It arrived yesterday and we set it up. As I found little reviews/videos online, we decided to make one to introduce and review it that others may find useful in the future. So far so good, will update with another review in a couple...

I've ordered one, I'm excited to get it for my son! You can't always please everyone but the feedback I've read and the help from the team at HYPOBAND has been amazing so far and very positive so I'm confident it's going to be a good thing for us. I will keep you informed, I'm sure my older son...

Are your sugars regularly high? It could be a sign your renal function is starting to struggle slightly or the cardiac system in terms of how strong the heart beats and fluid retention? Do you have other health conditions besides diabetes? Are you overweight? A smoker? Drinker? Do you have a...

I'm no expert but maybe it could be to do with the GI of the food you are eating v's the effectiveness of your fast acting insulin? For example, if my son eats rice, we bolus correctly and 2 hours post meal he's good, yet rice doesn't digest immediately so a few hours later, once the Novarapid...

Yes thank you, I love the idea of the CGM but I worry about affording to maintain it. I'm only a 3rd yr student nurse, the bursary is poor and it's just not stretchy enough to suffice. It's insane how expensive it is, a few people at my sons diabetic group have them and they shout about them and...

Ooooo thank you very much for this! I will check out this blog review. From what they've informed me so far, it may have gone off incorrectly when he was running for the bus because they're not designed for outdoor use, only sleeping / indoor activities etc. I liked the idea for bed and school...

Sorry if I've misinformed anyone. Our dietician told us it was an essential part of a healthy balanced diet and especially for a diabetic who requires their fibre and good carbs. I work on a gastro surgical ward too, all our diabetics are encouraged to eat fruits for their bowels. Take the...

Thank you guys for your replies, sorry I wasn't sound to thank you sooner. I have just redownloaded the app on my new phone. He was good after only 4 days, back to normal and had. Hba1c done which and back as 5.6mmol a few weeks ago so it doesn't appear to have caused any issues yay! I will have...

It says upto 4hours but we were told that you can inject insulin every 2 hours and that's what we do for our son and he's not had a problem. Some meals with rice he's needed the extra insulin after 2 hours as he's still digesting it and the Novarapid has peaked and isn't as effective but usually...

Hope this girl is ok. She is clearly in DKA! Let us know you are ok Joi Edited by a mod

If anyone has any opinions or comments I would really appreciate it. I was under the impression these are very common but no one seems to have one? :( xx

You need to eat fruit, it's a huge part of your essential carbs and your 7 a day which is iportsnt for diabetics, especially younger diabetics and children. Your heart and brain and skin will be happy that you're eating fruit, even your digestive system requires the fibre from fruit to work...

Who uses a HYPOBAND? Or have children that use one? Keen to get your feedback... Please? I'm on the verge of purchasing one for my son (he's 8). Thank you [emoji173]️

Hi all. My son Carter was diagnosed T1 25/3/16, he has just been taken down by his first cold/flu virus, he's taking a beating. His temp is manageable with sugar free calpol, he has no ketones but his BM's are unusually high for him (from 7-11mmol), he's usually quite stable in the 5's/6's. He's...
