Yes I am very fortunate. I can appreciate that in your circumstances it would be very useful. I think it is being done as FSL2+is now available on prescription. They are moving all those on FSL2 to FSL2+ and all those on dexcom one to dexcom one+.

Thanks very much for your reply. I have read some of the threads on this topic and gathered that placement of the pod and the sensor can be problematic Thanks again

Dear Friends I have today been offered the opportunity to move to FSL2+ and omnipod 5 closed loop. I currently use Omnipod dash and dexcom 1. I previously used Libre 2 and experienced many issues hence my change to dexcom. While I would be keen to move to closed loop I am reticent because...

Thanks

Morning jalu47 I had Covid earlier this year and was given the antivirals. They did not seem to affect my BS. Unfortunately I could not tolerate them due to the side affects namely GI upset. I have colitis and there are quite a few drugs I cannot tolerate. Hope you begin to feel better soon

Fingers crossed for a better day to day

Morning Coreylewis 1996 Hope things are ok this morning. Do you still have your Omnipod dash on and working ? If so as you only have one spare pod left I would leave it on. I presume Omnipod are sending you replacements pods for your Omnipod 5 ? Also have you managed to source some more back...

Hi felts77 I am an omnipod dash user. I have not experienced the issues you describe so not sure I can be of much help. Sometimes when I change my pod there is some dampness. No issues with my levels going high. Hope you get some answers and things improve

Hi cjm039 Like I was unable to get Humalog for some time and had to use Novorapid. The pharmacy I use managed to get me Humalog about a month ago so not sure if things are now improving. Fingers crossed

Hi Brekkybic I am a Dexcom One user. I get the sensors and transmitters on prescription. I have never had any issues getting either. There is a pharmacist based at our GP practice and I have found them very helpful in sorting out problems similar to yours. GPs and receptionists are generally...

I checked with the Pump Team locally yesterday as I have just been changed from Humalog due to the shortages of it. She checked about novarapid and was told there were no issues. She did acknowledge that they were sometimes the last to hear of issues. Fingers crossed

I use Humalog in my pump and have been given Novarapid as an interim measure. I have found it does not work nearly as quickly or as effectively as Humalog. I have had some horrendous spikes post meals. As an aside I have recently been unwell and was on an increased dose of steroids. I am now...

Hi EmilyMay11 I have just finished a ten day increased dose of steroids. I decreased my steroids to the level they were at pre illness about ten days ago and I still have high levels and am needing a lot more insulin. I did feel the benefit of the increased dose of steroids but do not like the...

Hi DiabeticDi I am a Dexcom One user. I moved to from Libre to Dexcom as for me Libre was very inaccurate and I had numerous failures. I have had some issues with Dexcom but I have personally I have found it much better. One feature I like is the ability to calibrate it. Good luck with your...

No problem They added calibration with update last year. I would agree that Dexcom One is the poor cousin of 6 & 7 Not sure what One+ will be like when it arrives

Good Morning Sarah I am a Dexcom one user and for me I have found it more accurate and reliable than libre 2. For me it works best on my arms. It can be calibrated Good luck with your decisions
