good to know im unlucky as I seem to get infections from cold easily. in past have had chest infection which gave me a cough that lasted 4 months and needed anti-biotics. The cough made my chest hurt quite a bit so for me thats worse then normal flu like symptoms. thankfully only happened once...

Hi all Any T1s here have had Omnicron variant of COVID here? If so how long did your symptoms last and did you get any longer lasting symptoms after you tested negative? Being diabetic our bodies heal much slower so if average normal person lasts for 5 days they say so would diabetic be around...

Has anyone in UK got Medtronic to say when its coming to UK? When I spoke to them in March they just did not know 7 day sets were real lol

That was the old NICE guidlines. Now they offering to all T1s so once your local authority has started using the new guidelines you should be able to get it, I got told same thing but now NICE updated it on March 31st we have to wait for our local funding clinics to update to new guidance too.

Ah. I never had issues with accu check ones

It's difficult for sure! Not sure why I had less issues with accu check. My main issue with Mio standard was as you had to push down the plastic bits after insertion it didn't always stick and so whole set came off. However I didn't have many bleeding or painful insertion issues like with advanced.

Thanks Has it improved for you? Out of interest if it has what batch number you using at moment of Mio advanced?

wow this makes me feel bad haha according to Dexcom Clarity for past 30 days my average has been 9.0 while last week was 7.6

seems like more people that had AZ vaccine had things like headaches and feeling cold etc so maybe the side effects are less on the Phizer vaccine.

got my text message this evening will book it in next few days It came from local hospital rather then GP or hospital where I have my diabetes clinic. Im kinda nervous about it due to no large set of data on if it causes more side effects in diabetics or not

I'm T1 and underweight but my previous doctor taken hb1c was 8.6 which was in February last year! Not had another one not my yearly eyes screening as they kept delaying it. Now it's in April for screening. Started on CGM and estimated level by dexcom says 7.4 at moment for past month. Live in...

Yes never tried cream. May try that. Single live alone and not been sexually active since January so can rule out anything transmitted in that way.

Hi all I am a T1 male and have had average control of blood sugar levels. I have had male thrush twice before in my 32 years of diabetes so not very often and usually it goes away if I have Cannestan tablet. However few days ago I started getting itch on the base of the penis area and residue...

Its more about the funding restrictions on consumables on the Minimed. For example if I have issues with my current infusion set type and wish to try different type I would need to talk to hospital and then wait weeks for them to approve it and then I can only order that and if I wish to move...
