Thank you.

Thank you very much. Please, may I ask you one more thing? I currently use Freestyle Libre to monitor my levels. When I started using it, the glue on the sensor gave me a terrible skin reaction. I had to come up with ways to create a barrier between the adhesive and my skin to continue using the...

I cannot imagine how uncomplicated it would be having an automated system handling the calculations… I am amazed. I did not know that this type of help existed… thank you for telling me.

Hello, thank you very much for you quick reply and for your explanation. I am so sorry for the embarrassing question… what is a closed loop?

Hello, thank you very much for your reply and for your guidance. Please, may I ask you? I read on other threads that there are costs involved but, from the hospital they have not informed me about any incurring costs. Could you enlighten me about the costs involved, if any, when using a pump?

Thank you. Particularly for the list. It is very helpful.

Hello everyone, I hope you are very well. I am a type 1 and I have been offered the option to switch from injections to a pump. My hospital offers me the following 3 options for me to choose: Medtronic 780G Tandem T-Slim (Air Liquide) Omnipod DASH (insulet) Because I don’t know the pros and...

Hello everyone, I hope that you are all very well, safe and healthy. Please, I would like to ask you regarding our Type 1 Diabetes and our energy levels. My below question refers to us who have well controlled diabetes and BG levels within range. According to the feedback that I have received...

Hello I hope you are well. Here is why protein shakes are a no-no. Firstly, most of them have an important carbohydrate content. Even if they are advertised as “low carbohydrate” for a non-diabetic, for us even 10grams carbs per glass is enough to elevate our sugars by 3 mmol+. Secondly, meal...

Hello dear Ambera 1, I hope you are well. Firstly, the problem with doctors is that they crunch the numbers like accountants do. For example, if your overall 3-month HbA1c is at a good or acceptable level, then they rarely care if you hit 12mmol on a carbohydrate spike or crush to 3mmol on a...

Hello, I hope you are all very well. Thank you very much for your replies. :happy:

Hello, thank you very much for your reply. I completely understand what you mean about the change of the basal rate during the day (and during the month). I, also, experience the same... there are times during the month that my body is so receptive to insulin that my Novorapid ratio can be...

Hello and thank you for the time that you devoted to giving me your detailed reply. Please, can I ask you? Do we get to choose our pump? Or are the hospitals under contract with specific pharmaceutical brands and we are, therefore, limited to a specific pump that is prescribed to us? Thank you...

Hello, thank you so much for your detailed reply. You devoted a lot of your time to me for this and I am grateful to you. So, if I understand correctly, in a very simplified interpretation (like I am a 5-year-old...) we have a continuous flow of insulin through the pump and we adjust the rate...

Hello, thank you for your reply. So, in the case of a hypo, we don't need to "feed" our insulin, we just reduce the flow? Thank you.

Hello everyone, I hope you are well. Thank you very much for your replies. Can I ask you please, has any of you had an allergic reaction to the adhesive and what did you do? The reason I ask is that I use the Freestyle Libre and the skin allergy to the adhesive is horrible... It is impossible...
