im on fiasp and ideally i try to do it 10-15 mins before.

Good information on here which has been reassuring too. I think the aspirin tip is a good one I know my grandparents used to swear by an aspirin a day and was the first thing I did too when it happened. Cheers

I didn’t have those dark curtains either I had sort of sparkly sort of none perfect white/ yellow circles in my eyes but I could see but just a bit sort of blurred and a numb but working right hand / arm from memory

I will do. I had previously been on holiday for a week and had a week of poor control which may have been a factor. i think from dr google the issue is they can never fully be sure it was a tia as there is no real test to confirm I’ve had ecg , cat scan ,bloods and a sort of ultra sound...

With your migraines do you experience a headache too? Ive never had any real experience with headaches as such but when my event happened i had no sort of head pain during the incident.

Also my control was fine at the time from memory I was 7.1 when it happened

I had similar last week. I mentioned it on here. I was dismissed by a and e after a very long wait. But I was called back into the stroke clinic the next day. I feel fine but I’m a bit freaked out. there is no real test to see if you had a tia or not as no real lasting damage that can be...

On way home now all bloods fine and scans. So hopefully nothing too serious many thanks for your support

Thanks I will do still here hopefully not too long now!

Yup thank you for your responses. I tested my bloods and was 7.1 at the time. Currently in a and e still ecg was fine going for ct scan and bloods next. Hopefully be home and in bed by 1 am. Feel a week of bad control may be a factor. I’ve had numerous high readings over the past 32 years...

Hi i am 42 and whilst my hba1c is not perfect comparing to the standards I read on here hopefully I’ll get there eventually, I am currently running a hba1c of about 7.2 which is my best ever since I became a teenager. lock down has helped massively for me and currently still working from...

IVe spoken to my hospital about the medtrum and they say they have had no patients on that system yet. I think they are pretty relaxed and willing for me to make my own choice but i cant see any upgrades from the original omnipod. I think i am going to drag my heals a little and wait hopefully...

Thanks i find the omnipod whilst somewhat bulky pretty easy to manage. It isnt glamorous but kind of does what its there to do. I trust my libre 2 when im in a good control zone but when im at the extremities i doubt it and need to double check with a blood test. Ideally there would be a...

thanks for your reply. So are you saying you can use your phone to control the medtrum fully? As in you do not need a sort of additional handset. That sounds like a giant benefit. How often do you have to change the pump is it every 3 days like the omnipod? thanks

Hi, i have been using the omnipod pod for many years now. I think the pods are called Eros. My machine essentially is a blood glucose meter and the machine that delivers my insulin. I am being told that this is being discontinued soon and that also i am out of my 4 year window of having it so...

Hi is the motivation for not putting the sensor on the suggested area more of a practical thing (to avoid it coming off/ looking a bit strange) rather than to get a more accurate blood level? Has anyone found an area to be more accurate than others? thanks

yup i have but it just is still wildly out. I have started going back to the gym after a long absence and perhaps thats a factor too. But i think i am going to revert back to my libre 1 sensor. Which is a shame as the alarms are a benfit. I find the high readings confusing as i feel that...

Thanks have any of you found more accuracy locating your pod in a specific area?

ok thanks for your response. I have tried a new one today which i let bed in for 48 hours as i thought would try that. my bloods are currently 7.4 but my scan is 10.8 its been on an hour or 2 so will give it a couple of days to see how it is. thank you

Hi i have read a lot of the threads on here about the freestyle libre 2 to see if any similarities. However i cant see any that match my questions. Ive had freestyle 1 for a fair period of time like around 2 years. I had some teething problems but after giving it a 24 hour resting period before...
