I wouldn't think so as wouldn't think security staff would know one pump from another. Hope you have a brilliant break!

My basal b4 pump was lantus prefilled pens & was in 0.5 measures, such a shame you don't have a more empathetic consultant.

Hi EllieM Two of mine were napping during the day and one was a questimate of carbs after dining out. Yep, I am now an omnipod dash user. Struggled quite a bit over the last year since changing to get on an even keel. Now also on HRT and wow what a difference it has made. My BG's are pretty...

Hi, I had 1/2 unit pens through my GP, it could be worth a try. I have no experience of fiasp so not sure if they are prefilled pens or not?

That is strange.... I just select daily graph & it is there for me. Maybe an issue with the app or your mobile?

What a horrible hypo you had! I've had three like these in 32 years & wouldn't want to ever experience it again, hopefully I won't as being using libre 2 for over a year now. Would your health board fund a different type of sensor/cgm for you? Could you eat 10/15g of carbs around 4pm to avoid...

I miss exercise without planning, I miss snacking, I miss going out for a meal without my wee set of scales & scouring menus for the low risk options for hyper or hypo, I miss not having to ask waiters if they can tell me an average weight portion of carbs & being looked at like, what? I miss...

Hi, a friend of mines son who is only 26 developed type 2 diabetes after having covid. No family history & his only at risk factor was being a bit over weight

Have you tried increasing your morning basal? I know it sounds strange but when I was using pens and experiencing hypos about 3-5am my consultant told my to reduce my morning basal & it worked for quite a long period of time. Opposite of what you're experiencing but maybe worth a try. I was on...

Ouch..... what a nightmare, type 1 throwing a curve ball at you! Best of luck & hope it settles down for you. I'm only on the pump 14 months so not manoeuvred a break. Fingers x'd for you.

Hi, I have omnipod dash pump & when travelling home I've just handed over the NHS letter & shown the pump on my tummy & they understood. Granted this was spain but think you'd be OK from Dalaman. If you do decide on the pump break better speak to your team a few weeks before you go as I believe...

Ditto! I laugh when I remember "after a month it'll be a breeze" ehhhhhhh? Gotta smile at the optimism, lol.

Similar issue Stew. I put it down to changing to the insulin pump at first but then a few months on I was thinking why on earth am I finding this so difficult! Due to my age now thinking its menopause (obviously not your case!!!) Started HRT and hoping this helps but this article @NicoleC1971...

Edit-stumped not stooped!

Hi, the only blood tests done were the usual diabetic checks, no hormonal blood testing. The marina coil gives out progesterone which is why only oestrogen for me. Not sure if the coil would have affected results, it's a possibility. The DSN was stooped as to the reason of the...

Just all the guesstimate of what you are eating and how it affects you. Might be better if you are a person who eats the same meals week in week out but I regularly eat different meals Al the time.

Hi Steve, I only know onnipod dash pump which takes in to account IOB when working out the Insulin you need. I would input carb & BG reading & the pump does the calculation for me. Are you overriding the pump calculation?

As teatime dinner is always my largest meal with protein & carb mix I always extend the Bolus of this meal.mostly 60/40 release over an hour or 1.5 hour if pasta.

Morning, I have had a few successes, I view my successes as a small peak after eating with no significant dips or peaks in the period after eating. To be honest on paper it sounds marvellous but practicality is another story. Best of luck.

Hiya, just searched posts for menopause and came across your post. I commenced my first pump omnipod dash in March 21 & have found it difficult with more hypos than highs. Do one basal change to another after checks. Get a few days OK then fluctuates again. I'm female & age 53 but don't know if...
