That's surely rubbish as currently I'm on a year abroad so I get 4 months and just stock pile the rest ! Also if you carry a photocopy of your prescription you'll be able to get it just have to probably pay for it ! My suggestion would be if you haven't put in a script for a while put one I'm...

I wear a libre and I fence in mine under two layers of thick fencing clothing and I play water polo for two hour sessions, the answer to your problem is something called Rock Tape, and you want the H2o stuff and trust me that stuff very rarely comes off. Also if you don't use the little alcohol...

I swim for two hours with mine in and its fine ! I just tape it over with rock tape H2o kind and it's absolutely fine [emoji3] just one strip works for me I've never gone without the tape so I'm not sure whether you were just unlikely

I used to be a competitive swimmer and swam up to 13-16 hours a week, it depends your times will stop dropping if you are getting out and being low, but apart from that no your diabetes won't have an effect on your times. It could just be one of those things that your not quite over having...

They are totally awesome things that I take with me everywhere. They keep insulin cool, and you just soak them in water for up to 10 mins and then they inflate with the water and keep the inlsuin cool, they are expensive but I would say worth every penny as mine lasted for 6 years before I had...

I went to Cambodia and Vietnam this summer for three weeks, and all I did was just take everything with me and I took double supplies of everything and some extra set changes as the heat for me makes it goes of quicker, as well as this I put all my insulin into my frio wallets and I had no...

I'm at 21 year old and even though I haven't ever completely stopped taking inlsuin I certainly have had some resistance and not always controlled it 100% talking from experience here I wonder whether H he feels like his diabetic team aren't listening to him if he still on the insulin that...

You shouldn't ever feel guilty about being tired or anything like that, because think about it your body is trying to cope with something that it shouldn't have to do especially when you go low, as it's starving your brain cells of glucose therefore you feel so tired ! I feel knackered when I've...

Hey I'm currently at uni and I feel the same sometimes if my blood sugar swings then I can't concentrate, so here's what I do, I record the lecture on my iPhone or my dictatphone and then when I'm feeling less like death I can listen to it and actually make proper notes ! Also when I go low...

Hey ! With the sport you just have to work out what works for you, different sports do different things, in the end I managed to do 16 hours swimming a week and I did have lots and lots of weeks at 100% done and my diabetes fine with it ! Make no mistake it's hard work and it's not always gunna...

Hey, I'm 20 and was diagnosed when I was 12! Feel free to message me about anything, even if it's just to rant at someone about having diabetes [emoji3] I'm really sporty as well so if you have any questions I can try and answer them [emoji3][emoji3]

Hey I'm 20 and been diabetic since I was 12 :( I know sometime it looks as though we all have really good control, but I'll let you into a secret.. many of us have good and bad days as well ! I don't know how an earth people managed to get a hba1c of 8 and below still ! I agree with the advice...

Have a look at zuckerman or just type into google freestyle libre covers and it comes up near the bottom, they are made out of rock tape and go round the outside and trust me it doesn't come off for a very long time ! Rock tape (h2o is the type that's seriously sticky) is the thing I use and its...

For cheap meals bbcs like 100 cheap and easy meals are good and so are good house keeping, these aren't specifically low carb meals but some of them you could easily make low carb. Re your mum to be honest I didn't have a problem with people stealing food especially once they saw that it was...

I've just sent you a private message [emoji3][emoji3]

So the libre sensors last for two weeks, you have to replace them after two weeks..£139 and that buys you two sensors and a blood monitor for it. I completely agree with caterpillar to say that the best thing is the graph which it gives you everyday, also if you download it onto a computer it...

I know this sounds really silly and the advice you've had on here is really good, but have you tried a different insulin, because when I was younger I was on the same thing, and having the same problems and I got switched to a faster acting insulin because it turns out that I digest things in...

I travel by plane quite a lot and the others are right you just need to show them your pump and you can go through the metal detector but not the body scanner. Normally I disconnect my pump to go through the body scanner, they swab it to check for explosives and drugs and hand it back to me at...

Yep used to on a Monday, Tuesday, Friday but I did used to swim for 2.5 hours on a Saturday morning :)

Hey I'm a swimmer and this is what I do: swimming for two hours Switch my pump of for about 1 hour before hand and give half insulin with my snack before I go swimming, so like a banana or something and have my paltinose drink (see below) Then half way through so after an hour of swimming and...
