    Keep going low

    Can anyone offer some advice how I can avoid having hypos around 3 - 4 pm. I'm in range before my lunch at 12 and also 1 hr after lunch. I have put my basal rate to 0 from 2pm to 4pm but still keep going low between 3 - 4pm even though I have a snack about 2.45 and don't give myself a bolus. I...

    That one thing about your pump?

    I was told when I was first offered my t slim pump that the app to give bolusses would be available in about 3 months time. 2 years on and it's still not available. This was the main reason why I chose this pump. If I knew then what I know now I would never have chosen it I would have gone for...

    Pump exchange programme

    Well I suppose I would have to keep it but that's the chance you take. I still think it's worth a gamble because at least you'll get to try a different pump

    Pump exchange programme

    Has anybody heard of a pump exchange programme where if you are unhappy with your current pump and you're not sure to change it for a couple of years then you can swap it with someone who is in the same situation and are willing to exchange their pump with you and see if you like the other one...

    Tandem t slim pump

    I made a mistake in this post I thought there was a way to increase the bolus rate speed but because I'm on control iq it's set at 5 hours and there's no way to adjust it. I seem to be getting a lot of iob at the moment so will have to make a few adjustments.

    Tandem t slim pump

    On your pump settings personal profiles what are your basal units per hour. Mine is set at 5 units per hour? Because at the moment it's set at 3.5 and feel that this is too low.

    Fitbit and dexcom

    I'm getting a fitbit versa 2 watch but have little knowledge of how this works with my dexcom g6. To get readings on my watch do I need to leave mobile data on all the time on my phone or not?

    Struggling to get control

    I have recently started a new job that involves doing shift work and finding it really hard to get good control of my levels. How do people manage when doing shift work when they don't know how strenuous the work can be?

    Echo plus pen

    I'm currently using the echo plus pen and can transfer my injection history onto the libre link but I feel this is a waste of time unless I'm not doing it right. I'm having to input the information on the app myself first but I thought the whole point of linking the pen is that it automatically...

    Injection sites problems

    When I do my injections I leave the pen in for about 10 seconds after but when I take it out there is some insulin that hasn't gone into my body. So you think I need to leave the pen in longer?

    Pump break

    The main reason is being attached to it all the time by a tube. If I could get a tubeless pump that would be much better for me.

    I'm currently on my 3rd day without using my pump and am not missing it at all. I feel much better at the moment by not having the pump attached to me all the time. At the moment I think I will carry on with mdi however if I was offered a tubeless pump then I would go back on the pump but that's...
