Many thanks, really appreciate your trouble, I think I have tried that one with the blanket response of basically ‘don't bother, we're too busy’ but will give it a go again tomorrow and report back.

I don’t think I do, if you have it that would be great otherwise I'll look it up.

That’s useful but have had absolutely nowt since sending my application off on the 9th Sept and no way of being able to chase it up, my daughter received a car tax reminder from them today so someone must be there!

Am so pleased to hear this, maybe there’s hope for mine soon!

I think it must be and that’s my assumption too until I hear otherwise!

Thanks Grant, absolutely no point in contacting DVLA again, the answer phone says no calls being answered due to too many calls! This has been the response for weeks now.

Thanks Urbanracer and yes I'd seen most of that, I'm fine to just wait and see I guess, I'm pretty confident my health hasn’t changed anything that would effect me driving safely. Was just wondering if anyone else has had a license renewed over the last two months.

I sent off my 3yr driving license renewal by post ( didn’t succeed in navigating on-line form) to DVLA on 9th Sept, current license expired 20th Oct but haven’t received new license back yet and DVLA totally uncontactable by phone. Face to face hospital consult in Sept, all good and passed all...

I've been using the Omnipod for nine years or so and moved onto the Dash a year ago as am hoping it’ll be a more natural transition when Omnipod 5 comes out which might be next year so I can start looping so that’s one benefit for you. The PDM is basically a cheap phone that is smaller and...

Does everyone drink black coffee? I'm fine with that but milky cappuccinos always need a bolus I've found on a pump. Can’t believe it took me so long to realise it’s the milk in my case!

As with other posters I'm totally against this petition, the poor catering industry has been through enough and as painful as it often is, we do have to take responsibility for ourselves, learn to carb count, do educated guesses and corrections.

Like you I have a system that works and for me a Libre 2 would be a retrograde step so I asked my GP to change me back to Libre 1for the time being. I’d heard that it'll be made for quite a while yet but of course getting confirmation isn’t easy. I can see myself changing when Libre 3 with its...

I'm the same, had second AZ 4 weeks ago and have had difficulties with similar raised blood sugars that everyone else in this thread has reported. The last few days seem a bit better though, am puzzled!

I had no side effects after the 2nd AZ I had 4 weeks ago but sugars did go up and needed more insulin for a week or 2 but also was going through a highly stressful time so difficult to be objective.

Good point!

So much antiseptic hand gels around, why not use a drop of that if soap and water not good enough?

I generally cycle or run in the mornings and only on pump basal, no bolus until lunch time. I do tend to drift up towards lunch, possibly a liver dump so often have to bolus a unit or two late morning. It’s never been commented on or discussed at clinic but I haven’t raised it either. If it...

Thank you for nice hugs, much needed and appreciated. X

Stress plays havoc for me sugar wise and have been struggling hugely, looking for ways to manage it over the last few months. My previously fit mother died 3 weeks ago from a nasty rapid cancer diagnosed in November, the stress and how it affects me sugar wise aside from the usual expected...
