Hi , I hope this finds everyone well. I have used libre self funded for years. For my 50 th I bought a MiaoMiao and use a pebble watch connecting spike app to nightscout. Spike has problems due to updates meaning cydia impactor won’t work so I have switched to tomato. Tomato works great...

Hi, I had problems with my first 640. It seemed to do basal ok but struggle with bolus. I was told to say I am not confident. Are you sure it is the mio and not the pump?

All good so far.

I know a few people have previously said they do this in their pump

Hi Scott, that was indeed the article I read. I am not looking for medical approval just information and advice. Is there any reason that mixing analogue Fiasp with Hypurin Porcine Neutral would cause one to kill the other or a toxic mix. I don't believe so but don't know everything obviously...

Hi Everyone. I used Hypurin Porcine in my pump for about 5 years and then Christmas time changed onto Fiasp. Although my control is better I have gained a stone in weight since. I have been going to weight watcher for 2 years and HAD lost 50 pounds so am finding it devastating. I gained the...

offer skype and ask how this fits with the equality act 2010. take it to you mp and the ccg good luck

they give good information on iddt site. The doctors may say there is no reason to change back- but there is no reason not to. It is a patients right to chose their treatment and I use hypurin porcine in an insulin pump. I recently changed to fiasp. Had much better control but have gained 1...

I changed to a pump so have different levels throughout the cycle. I can't pin point what and when it will changed but if high and around then I switch my basal and if going low I don't have to eat but can stop the insulin

Hi, I have just been given a new blood test meter by the hospital to reduce costs . they are giving the whole area an accuchek nano as they say the strips are the cheapest. I haven't priced sorry but this may help

my last was 53 previous 78 worst when a teenager - roughly 127 if I remember - in old money it was 13.8. what a long way we have come in treatment and the Libre

Hi, with the fight and flight response we produce cortisol, adrenalin , noradrenalin and glycogen - all of which make the liver give out its glucose to enable us to runa way. If you think about the Glucagon injections - this is glycogen - it stimulates the liver to release the glucose stored...

Hi All, I am relatively new to using Fiasp in a pump and wondered if you could advise me which foods you tend to do a combo bolus with to avoid hypos at the one hours mark. I know pizza but what else do you find benefits please? also I know it is personal but what ratio do you use- I find for...

Reading a few above - I have been on fiasp for 2 months. I was told from the start that I had to change cannula every 48 hours and not longer or would get site problems.

I self fund the libre and have found that I need 60/40 combo bolus over 2 hrs- but I am on Fiasp - and I add 1 or 2 units extra initially as someone said above- this gets the sugar sorted and the rest gets the fat sorted. Usually stable and no problem for me now.

I think this would be because some pumps connect by Bluetooth to the meter and self adjust according to the result so the phone could accidentally adjust the pump. there Was a case in the news some time back about a pump being able to be hacked by a phone

Thanks everyone for the advise- so if I understand correctly - longer acting carbs and fatty food will need combo bolus- would you apply this to granny wholewheat products? - ie using wholewheat pasta rather than white pasta or granary bread rather than white bread. I will start a food diary so...

I tried chromium previously with great effect so am going to start that at the same time so insulin requirements should drop

thanks. Sometimes what the hospital suggests doesn't work and experienced people can really help
