No one willingly does D, we do it because we have too. It is clear that your relationship with your team has broken down, the only person this will harm is yourself so maybe a referral to a different hospital and a new start is what's needed? DAFNE will be great once you have finished...

+1 for this, sometimes knowing you aren't alone is a great help and no better place than in a room of people all in a similar boat Also if you live in or near London we have regular meet-ups, next one is end of September. You should try and get yourself to one of these.

The reason it says to consult Dr is probably due to if you have neuropathy then you may possibly do yourself damage by using the product as you may not be able to feel how cold it actually is on your skin and end up causing skin damage without realising. If you have completely normal sensation...

I had about 10 days off (I took a week of leave and because I work shifts I had the first few days of the following week off.) Things still needed tweaking when I went back to work though. It was a great reason to have a week off in the summer whereas normally you can't get leave where I work...

Any who's had a reaction please report it here.... https://yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk/ (medical devices) if enough people report the problem it will force Abbott to do something about it.

Could well be that lovely dawn phenomenon coming into play, hugely common and difficult to sort, the only way I could on MDI was with split dose levemir as basal. As far as the numbers not coming down with correction, people tend to be more resistant to insulin in the morning, I personal feel I...

I'm fairly sure that Humalog is not nearly as readily available in SE Asia as Novo, in fact I seem to remember it's very difficult to get due to the licence or something. If you are planing on a long SE Asia trip it may be worth seeing about changing over to NovoRapid before you go so you can...

Near Tottenham Court Road, not in Tottenham! I'm not brave enough to venture into Tottenham! http://www.thecarpentersarmsw1.co.uk/ Lovely day yesterday although my legs ache a bit today and have a comedy patch of sunburn to deal with Lovely to see you all and I'm looking forward to September

see you then! x

I'm def coming, hopefully it wont be raining! The pub at the end is a must though, all that walking is going to work up a right thirst!

If I'm drinking cider the first one is "free" after that it's a unit a drink. Wine is free as are spirits with a diet mixer. If I've been drinking spirits then I def need a snack on the way home!

nuts and pepperami are my nightshift snacks of choice, neither have to be refrigerated and are fairly immortal. I'm on nights this week :-(

Oooh I think I am up for this!

Beaches, every time! Steel Magnolias Marley and Me

Another trick I learned was to rub a few drops of the drink on the back of your hand wait a minute as it evaporates, if the back of your hand is left feeling sticky = full sugar, no stickness = sugar free. My clinic always downloads my meter so this means I don't have to explain away the 1's...

neither did I! Maybe it's something to do with the cannula size. Its def more noticeable with a fresh set too. Not that it's a problem or painful, I'm just aware of it. Maybe its just me! YMMV

The burning sensation is most likely due to the speed of you injecting the insulin, with a pump we have the luxury of programming and letting the pump do the work which you don't get with injections but a big bolus for me can give this sensation.

It's not just for type 1's, anyone is welcome and it's all inclusive. We had a mix last time (although majority were T1)

Nice vid! I've been working on the meet-up peeps to come so fingers crossed! Wasn't sure if I could post about it on the forum but as you have... EVERYONE SHOULD COME! Last one was fab!
