installed, thanks @ElkBond

I think this just shows that the one size fits all blanket approach shouldn't be employed with diabetes. I had worked it out myself mostly out of frustration at getting no help and entirely being blamed for my poor control (it couldn't be called control!). Even employing every DAFNE tactic and...

No @noblehead only bog standard DAFNE but Northampton wouldn't accept I could carb count without having done the course and therefore held it as a hoop to jump before I got one :)

yes hence thinking it was a waste of time! Not exactly difficult is it!

Thanks @ElkBond that makes complete sense (shamed!) I hadn't considered that, I generally engineer cars or engines in my defense (its not a good one I know...)

I cant currently as I need to keep the transmitter free of gunk to continue my funding. I did that when I was self funding though.

often its a tick box exercise, I taught myself to carb count well before DAFNE but still had to attend to get my pump 5 days out of my life I'll never get back... :/

Same as @ElkBond though I need tape after 1-2 weeks

Have you looked at surkrin which is a mix you can buy on amazon? its gf and low carb...

Agreed sorry I should have titled it better. As I understand it if I don't have any antibodies then it would indicate MODY and further testing would be needed

Yes thanks it's been over a month and the dr hasn't got any results. I'm wondering if the consultant is keeping them :/

afternoon all, does anyone know how long it would take for C peptide test and antibody test results to come back?

tell the DVLA if you want to lose your license because that's the only thing which will happen.

@cath67plum I changed for similar reasons to you, only I got annoyed with my DSN who didn't want to help me continue with CGM and kept insisting I would be better without it. I use the Churchill Oxford now, and will continue to do so even if I move outside of my CCG to Milton Keynes. I love...

Fight them tooth and nail, not just because he should be able to go but because he needs to see that he can and should a) fight for his own rights and B) do everything everyone else does with a few adjustments. Good luck.

No, I don't carry a diabetic passport, all the information you could need is on the health app on my phone and available through the emergency ID. I also don't wear medical ID anymore but I do wear an insulin pump.

funnily enough this time last year I had my finger rebroken rotated and plated, which was classed as elective. I'm on an insulin pump and no one had a CLUE how to deal with me and kept insisting I should half my basal the night before and not eat anything until after my surgery at 1pm (first on...

sounds more like one of the forms of MODY to me...

Yep! I've had/got it! I used ingredients shown with a cauliflower base, was very tasty. Thanks @Avocado Sevenfold @Brunneria @Chook for the get well wishes!
