I am on a pump and I have a different basal pattern for when I am at work for me I need less insulin at work that I do when I am at home (with one exception, during exam times we're crazy busy, so my insulin needs go up during those two weeks cos of the stress) so mayb u do need different doses...

We can only get the Medtronic 640g here sometimes one of the Roche ones. I would love a tubeless pump but 11 years later I'm still on a pump with tubes the funding doesn't exist for tubeless ones unfortunately.

until you get your own meter would it be possible to test on your father in laws at all just so you have an idea of where your blood sugar is at the minute?? Just saw that you finally got your meter thats great

Wishing you well Sarah and hope this is the start of you getting all the help you need xx

I've been using the enlite sensor for the last 6 years and occasionally I would have a wildly different reading on my glucometer compared to what the sensor was saying but usually the sensor was faulty and had to be changed. Nowadays the sensor is rarely out compared to my glucometer.

I test about 8-10 times a day I also wear a cgm so get to see whats happening all the time.

I had really severe flu almost pneumonia and ended up being diagnosed with Type 1 a couple of months later.

impressive well done!!

Its my diabirthday....30 years in and still going strong :):wacky:

Ahhh I'm on a pump ten years and its the first one that happened cos of a failed cannula I wouldn't let that put u off a pump

well my last one was last November after a cannula failed overnight and the resulting lack of insulin and high blood sugars didn't wake me. Severe vomiting and 24hrs in hospital and I was back to normal. As this wasn't my first DKA I knew what to expect but it frightened the hell out of my...

yeah the 640g does deduct IOB and works out correction amount. Hoping ti was just a once off and the basal adjustments kick in just scary cos it was so severe and so unexpected thou I really should know after 30 years that diabetes never behaves how we think it should lol

bout two hrs the sensor graph actually shows a rise after the 14.5 then nearly a straight line plummet straight to bashed knee....

I didn't eat breakfast I eat when I get to work and usually I'm higher when I get in from good old liver dump, double checked it using other hand, no shower, just happened completely out of the blue

The scary thing is I have no idea why my correction caused the low.. its my usual correction factor and nothing has changed scared the living daylights out of me last time I was that low was almost 7 years ago when I was breastfeeding. Have downloaded my pump data and adjusted my basals as...

got up this morning with a blood sugar of 14.5 had been 19.1 at 5am so corrected via pump wizard, 14.5 on waking less than an hour later pump alarms that its going into low suspend, check blood sugar and I'm actually 1.9 (sensor was reading 3.4) went to get something to get sugar up, fell...

I never tke my pump off or disconnect when flying I'm on a 640g but I do have to turn my CGM off and put the pump in airplane mode

Not an omnipod user (remember serious pump envy here) but I nearly always have a bump after I remove a cannula and sometimes the adhesive leaves red marks. The occasional one will get itchy afterwards and I just think I'm a little bit sensitive to the adhesive and the bump is where its pressed...

I use Mio sets and have only had a few kinks usually after a high blood sugar that won't come down. I use my sides and just below the boob line and my stomach is ****.

I live in Ireland and the only CGM available to us is the Enlite from Medtronic I use one with the 640g. A few years back they were thinking of stopping them altogether due to cost I know I had to fight long and hard to get mine but now they are offered as standard when upgrading your pump. I'd...
