Well my IC ratio must be set way too high (or low, however it works) every day I start from whatever number I wake on and each meal I eat it gets higher and higher and I have to correct and correct just to get it down to low teens. I understand they don't want me to have lows as it'll put me off...

I switched to pumping with insulin 8 days ago now and am still consistently high, considering I wasn't often high on injections it's been a struggle to adjust. The hospital is lowering them but not as fast as I'd like, I can see patterns that I'm tempted to adjust myself but don't want to go...

I've been on the omnipod 3 days now and running high a lot as still adjusting the settings so cannot comment on that, but I did want to say how surprised I am that it's so incredibly comfortable. I already forget it's there most of the time. Also love the handheld device it's very simple and...

I started the omnipod on saline yesterday. Gotta have it for a week before starting insulin next Tuesday. Hopefully I have the same success as you!

I think you stand a good chance it's not all about bad control and a1c levels. Mine stay between 6.8 and 7.2 but I'm a single parent of a young child and have bad hypo anxiety, especially over night, and I've been accepted and get my pump in 2 weeks.

I had a long hard fight with my local hospital. I was refered, which was lost and they only realised 12 months later then rereferred [emoji34] after this the consultant really messed me around for a long time, over 2 years later I ended up contacting input who gave me a list of "pro pump"...

I contacted input who gave me some advice to follow. I also had to switch hospitals as mine was so long and awkward about it. At the second hospital I was accepted at my very first consultation appointment, after originally asking 2.5 years ago I have my appointment tomorrow to go and select my...

I'm on my third one in 2 years. Mine keep breaking, luckily it was in warranty so didn't have to pay to replace it and I do use it at least once a day. If it wasn't in warranty now I wouldn't pay to replace it as it breaks so regularly!

I'm actually in the process of getting a pump, will be receiving it in a couple of months and am hoping to get the omnipod. I actually googled uk omnipod skins a few weeks back and did notice that there isn't really any companies that do these in the UK so could be a good market for them! I went...

I actually saw a green & blacks hot choc in sainsburys the other day which seemed to have more sugar that the g&b cocoa powder I usually get so be sure you're getting the right one!

I'm on levothyroxine 75mg. I was told to stop all medication straight after giving birth so I did and felt so weak for a long time after. I put it down to being a tired new mum but finally got seen by a doctor and was under active thyroid and low iron! Took a few months to get thyroid medication...

I'm type 1 and I have an underactive thyroid since pregnancy 3.5 years ago. It just never went away. I eat reasonably low carb. Not as low as most people on here and I gradually lowered it over a long period of time. I lost so much weight and kept it off. It was daunting for me at first as I've...

I made this tonight for be first time! It was amazing!!! Better than expected

Thank you for this reply. I will try again tomorrow and count for the protein. I've recently started to eat lower carbs so am just getting used to counting protein too!

Hi again, I tried one of these for lunch today (a whole one) but found I went higher than I'd hoped. Do you generally have to count for the protein with these as it's such a high amount?

I've been for a look a before but couldn't find the lidl high protein rolls? Are they just the loose ones? What are they labelled as? And how many carbs is in 1 roll? Thanks :-)

So I hear that if you eat low carb meal you need to inject for 50(ish) % of your protein? If for example, my lunch ratio is usually 1.5 unit to 10 grams of carb, do I still use that ratio when it's just a protein dish? Say an omelette with lots of eggs? Or will a lower ratio be required. I...

Aha that's true!! I Guess it won't be the beautiful diabetic fairytale I was hoping for

I very much agree with that last part! I would only partner up with a diabetic if they were well controlled and took good care. I wouldn't even go out with a non diabetic now if they ate too much unhealthy foods. It's hard enough trying to keep myself motivated never mind someone else. If they...
