Where do you mostly use them? Stomach? Also how do you hold them when inserting? I generally have fingers around the bottom of the inserter and then press the top.

So I been using Mio Advance before this only happened to this recent delivery. Before Mio advance I was using Mio and no issues with bleeding or pain there but my issue with Mio was the way you remove the inserter needle. Most times it pulled the whole infusion set off! Before the Medtronic I...

Hi all On my last batch of Medtronic Mio Advance infusion sets I found it impossible to insert a new set. Every attempt it was quite painful and bled when I removed it. Normally use lower back so even tried stomach which went in without much pain but then started to pain after 30 mins and again...

its odd how some people getting letters and others not

im not sure if I should shield once lockdown is lifted slowly. I not had a shielding letter from GP. Im 34 and T1, No other problems but I am underweight and slightly raised cholesterol. Think it was 4.1. BG levels could be better my HBA1C is around 9.

the problem is none of these stats say if any of the diabetes deaths were well controlled people under 70.

agreed over this period the people in shops and delivery drivers and hospital workers will be the most important jobs and people and so we need to make sure we dont cause them more trouble in doing their jobs

Yeah 35% is high! You would have thought people with upper respiratory and serious conditions like cancer etc would be higher then diabetes.

They said it should be fine but Im a bit cautious of using the tube at the moment or bus so decided to postpone. They wont say if it will affect my tooth or not by delaying.

Yeah London is epicenter of the epidemic here in England. I cant pay for taxi there and back either. Way too much.

yeah i spoke to them and they said they are going by the dentist associations advice and cleaning more often and letting patients know to wash hands after arriving into the clinic. so they got that covered but its worry of going on tube! even though its not during rush hour.

would people here avoid going to dentist as they diabetic? i got appointment to a small private dental clinic to finish off a 50% completed root canal but not sure if I should postpone.

There been no announcements to say there will be support to self employed etc. Only for businesses that need to close. Its ridiculous tbh. In France they stopping mortgagee payments, tax etc while this goes on to help everyone.

hi all im type 1 without any complications apart from slight raised cholesterol. currently have no flu like symptoms aged 32. I got dentist appointment to finish off my 50% complete root canal this week but should I postpone due to covid19? we getting mixed messages from sources some say if you...
