    Dissapointed

    That is YOUR opinion. Just because you wouldn't eat them it doesn't mean no one else can. It's is actually approximately 45-50g carb of which around 20g is sugar, not that it matters. Personally, I have 3 biscuits at a time. That's purely because it's what my mum always gave us as kids so...

    Tomorrows the day

    Most people assume my pump is either an MP3 player or a pager. If anyone stares when I'm at the gym or on the beach I can't say I've ever noticed!

    Anyone work for aldi?

    Timing is true for any shop. For chilled and frozen items you have a set amount of time to get it off the pallets and into the fridge/freezer. If you go over that time then you are not supposed to sell those items. I worked in a co-op about 8 years ago!

    Anyone work for aldi?

    Nah definitely not. She does about 40, anything extra is optional! Depends on the store Id guess

    I’m an idiot

    My understanding was it's just the bolus she's missing, not the basal. Could be wrong though!

    Insulin pump

    Nothing ventured nothing gained! If you don't like it you can always return to your pens :) They'd have to fight me to get mine off me though haha

    FREESTYLE LIBRE ON SALE!!!!

    I used opsite on my last sensor to keep it down. I'm risking nothing on this one for a few days to see how that goes but I'm more nervous of it this way. With the opsite on I didn't have to worry about it coming off at all. It just didn't look good!

    FREESTYLE LIBRE ON SALE!!!!

    I'm guessing it's kind of on his chest, only spoken to him on Twitter so don't know if he's bigger or not, guess we'll see if the sensor works or not!

    I think she meant 10am. As in even leaving now it'll be over an hour until she gets the insulin. We've all been there though! I managed to get by on little to no carbs for the day as I was in the honeymoon period. If BG is rising though you need to go and get your insulin I'm afraid

    FREESTYLE LIBRE ON SALE!!!!

    I know someone who inserted below collar bone so interested to see how that works! Considering the issue I've just had with an arm sensor I'm reluctant to try elsewhere yet, but rest assured I will be soon! I just don't want to risk abbott not refunding/replacing if it wasn't on arm

    T1 ex-pats in Western Australia?

    I don't get the drops (in the UK) as my pupils dilate enough themselves. Drops are not necessarily a requirement
