@Jarod0128 do you do bouts of strenuous exercise? I found after about 5 days of riding into and back from work a total of 40km and it is a hard ride, my Lantus needs would halve. I can’t explain your limited BGL rise after food. I think a pump may suit you, have a chat to your D team.

Go find your own Diabetes and stop stealing mine:) Same with me.

May your Hypo's be nil and your Hypers be none for 2019. Alas I'm now diabetic for the next 358 days...

I can see how someone would want to take advantage of such a great system. In countries where D supplies are heavily subsidised this is a real problem. I worked with a person from another country, he was over on a special work Visa. He was wanting me to get test strips so he could send them...

You should see Dr ASAPperferably a specialist. I assume you mean 22mmol/l. That is an unacceptable reading. If you have not used insulin before, you need to do so under the direction of a qualified medical person. Insulin is a very dangerous hormone if not used correctly. I would go to an...

Sorry to hear you are sick. When I get sick either I need buckets of insulin or almost none. Welcome to Diabetes lottery. I suspect a lot has to do with digestion. I had serious constipation and my need for insulin skyrocketed. I have only had a gastro bug once with the dreaded D and my...

I hate being beaten in an argument by facts, I admit defeat Elvis is on the moon.

Merry Christmas, however I shouldn’t be posting here today as I’m not a diabetic today. My CGM ran out last night and it’s not being replaced until the 27th. I will eat as many roast potatoes as the next guy. Christmas pudding come to daddy! I will belt through a lot of insulin, only test...

Count me in as well. Hi BGL = lots of peeing. Before diagnosis it was once or twice a day. I got D as an adult so I was able to fight off going to the dr for about 3 weeks. I couldn’t keep count, but was over 44 times a day with a HbA1c of 17.8%. Except over Christmas (I’m not Diabetic over...

Elvis is not living on the moon, there is no air on the moon. He is living on every second street corner in Las Vegas and in every wedding chappel there, I have seen him with my own 2 eyes and no my eyes have not as yet been effected by diabetes. Poor Elvis is working so hard he is at serious...

Does the Surgery try and contact you guys well before they cut off supply? If not find another surgery. No matter what keep a spare months supply in the fridge. I got my resupply a few days ago, in Australia we get 5 packs of 5 pens on a script. The Pharmacist put a label on each box, then a...

I was told exactly the same thing. I’m in Australia and guess what 7 months latter it was released https://diatribe.org/fda-approves-medtronic-minimed-670g-hybrid-closed-loop-7-13-year-olds The above link claims it will be this year. I highly doubt that, but I think you can assume it’s close.

Why do you need to change every day, I quite new to pumping almost 11 months, so I’m still on the learning curve and very interested as to know why people do different, things, so if I see a problem coming I will have a possible solution. My pump nurse said rubbing the area with olive oil will...

iIf you can hold off the Medtronic 670g (or by another number) will be released very soon, sorry I don’t have any inside news of exactly when, but it can’t be that far away. I have the 640g and love it.

It depends. If I’m over 15mmol/l for more than about 30min I feel tired and horrible. Under 3mmol/l and after correction I feel hung over and sick

I just got a new supply of insulin. We get 75mil at a time which for me is about 6 months in Australia. I normally run the supply down to about 5 days until I get a new supply. With the news going crazy around the world UK - Brexit Aus - Storms and cyclones Japan - Earthquakes and Tsunami’s...

What Medtronic software on your computer are you using? There was some old software and it would appear to be connected, but it would fail to download. You had to use a strange combination of browser, operating system and OS, it would work sometimes and fail on other occasions. I use a MAC...

I have had enough horror stories, but one on a lighter side. I fly a lot for work. On a 2 1/2 hour flight there was a couple beside me on a plane. I don’t eat as it’s only 3hrs gate to gate. There was this older couple beside me. When the meals arrived he was doing his best contortionist...

In Australia many jobs I have applied for they ask Do you have a disability? If so what? There are laws that protect you against discriminatin (cough cough). Unless the employer is trying to get public sympthay etc (we need a few people in wheel chairs etc), if 2 people are about the same or...

No one here knows. Food, Excercise, Illness, Mood, Stress, Weather and great big list of other factors all impact our BGL. We are all impacted differently, one D could eat half a pizza and with a few units of insulin will be fine while another D will have BGL rocket and another will get...
