Well we've made the switch to MDI and things are going well so far, here's what we did: - 1) Put a Libre sensors on two weeks before our holiday, 2) With 1 week to go we disconnected the pump first thing in the morning and immediately injected 11 units of Levemir. Pump basal of 18 equates to a...

Thanks @kimroomey89 - that's very useful! We've holidayed with the pump the last few years but a full day in a water park is a challenge, basically disconnected most of the day and correcting as and when... See how we go this year on injections. Plan to switch a week before and monitor with a...

Hi pumpers, anyone know the formula to come of the pump and temporary go back to injections for a summer holiday? Using NovoRapid in the pump, basal rate at 18 units/day, bolus dependant on carbs (obv). So bolus req's will remain the same, but what do we do with the basal? We'll go with...

Ask your diabetic team about DAFNE (dose adjustment for normal eating) and all will be revealed! It's fantastic! Only issue with new T1Ds is the "honeymoon" effect which means our own pancreas comes back to life reducing the amount we need to inject. I only need 4 units of Levemir/day at the...

Big decision to be made... accu-check vs omnipod, anyone offer any pointers from personal experience. We've been using the insights for a few years and as the warranty is about to expire we are faced with a choice, get the new, slightly improved insights (hopefully the meter has been sped up a...

Thank you!

Hi pumpers. My wife has had T1D since 4 yo. She's been on a pump for 7 years and been through 2 pregnancies - she is amazing! We have been DAFNE carb counters since she attended the course 8 years ago. Recently she's lost weight through following slimming world diet, 2 stone! She feels great but...

This is all very interesting reading. I have recently been diagnosed with T1D (10 weeks!). No DKA but noticed weigh loss, thirst and tested my own BG to find 30 mmol/l! Had some ketones, but highest reading was 2.9. V.long story after this but basically I was diagnosed by the local Diabetes...

That's great @tim2000s thanks for getting back. Long story but my wife is the "proper" T1D in the family and has been so since 4, I've only been diagnosed 3 months and the honeymoon has kicked in very strong and require very little insulin. We both recently got a Libre and it's this that has...

Hi all, has anyone used a formula to work out BG change per unit of insulin for a T1D? I know the effect of a unit of insulin will, potentially, be different depending on many factors (age, time of diagnosis, current state of pancreas and any remains beta cells etc...). I have always been told...

Hi all, this is fascinating reading! I was diagnosed with T1D 2 months ago. GAD antibodies came back at 2000 & subsequent tests for 4 other beta cell attacking antibodies came back positive also (I had these as part of some research I've got involved in with address-2 for newly diagnosed T1Ds)...

Thanks for the help, I've tried every possible option (on/off etc) but unfortunately it still won't upload :(

Hi all, newly diagnosed with T1D and new to this forum. Trying to get my GlucoMenLX 2 meter to upload to diasend... The cable I have appears OK, indicated by the tick box showing "cable connected", but it doesn't seem to find the device when plugged in - anyone having this problem? Any help will...
