    Accu-chek Aviva insight meter

    Hi Felt a bit yuk & tested...my meter says 'hi' I haven't experienced a level so high that it doesn't give a number, in years! Can't find anywhere how high is 'hi' - I'm thinking 30+??? Anyone know? (Canula was dodgy. I've had a big bolus so will retest in 20) Thanks :)

    Diabetes burnout, anyone?

    Wow. Burnout? Yes! 15 yrs in & I'm there. Always been so proud of how being diabetic 'doesn't affect me'. Turns out it's quite exhausting, like you say, to be constantly fighting the tide. You ain't alone that's for sure x

    Feeling so alone!

    Hey how you feeling today? Must admit I've been 'too sweet' () for 15 years and was 'ok' with it til quite recently.

    Re: Beach holiday / tanning issues / not wanting to look lik Ah yes, forgot about the industrial strength folic. Glad you knew, if we left it all to gp's where would we be!? You should have access to a 'pre-conception clinic', or at the very least an appt with your diabetes 'team' to discuss...

    Beach holiday / tanning issues / not wanting to look like Sp

    Re: Beach holiday / tanning issues / not wanting to look lik Hi Leanne Lovin Brett's idea, cannula in bottom area and the pump can hook on bikini bottoms!? Has your pump got a skin or a holder that can hook? You'll look like a Bond girl! I've had the combo since August last year, and haven't...

    Fasting

    Still take levemir, if blood glucose drops, have some juice or dextrose, it will not affect the hba1c. Presumably you have to fast for other blood tests, the hba1c does not require fasting. So a little bit of glucose will not affect it, as it is looking at glucose levels in blood over last 10-12...
