Speedboy21 the shakes are a rolling NHS England pilot where they are available in certain areas then its rolled out nationally. If your gp hasn't heard of it then they must not be in the pilot yet so your best bet would be to contact NHS England and ask when it will be available locally. Then...

Council give me one and collect it. Some gp surgeries prescribe them too

We do 50:50 dual wave over 3.5 hours for regular pizza

The full 3 boxes thank goodness!

I finally got a delivery today after 3 weeks of chasing so hopefully yours are on their way too x

We were at our wits end with mio cannula they failed so often. One bounce in the trampoline and my daughters failed. Switched to sure t and not 1 failure in 18 months. Pain cos you have to change every 2 days but it's a change you know will last for a full 2 days.

Yes we get it too but maybe 1-2x a month and can be sorted by moving the pump closer

We use 640 and enlites. Having had awful job getting them a few months ago the supplies seem fine now

Sevredol tablets (morphine immediate release) instead of oramorph liquid would reduce your sugar intake a lot. Can you speak to your gp or pain team?

I use 3x10ml vials a month but it was written in a standard letter from the diabetic nurse to the gp as they dont know how much you use

We gave up on mios for that reason. They kept kinking and not delivering the insulin. Now use sure t which cant kink and get on fine

My 11 year daughter is vile when she is high..grumpy, shouts, storms off, slams doors, cant be reasoned with, cant concentrate....i can see that itmay affect him in school if it goes on. Thankfully half hr after a correction it settles so doesnt affect her at school too much

Sorry try again..we had no choice for our 9y old as she was having fits due to hypos so medtronic was the one with cgm that switches off when she.s low. Having said that it has worked brilliantly. We used mio sets initially (every 3 days change) but she didnt get on so now sure-t which is every...

We had no choice for our 5 year old

My daughter has a medtronic 640 with enlite sensors and would most certainly lose a handset..i prefer the libre as only need changing every 14 days not 6 but the ability of the enlites to talk to the pump is fab and does prevent serious hypos

My daughter has fits when hypos down to about 2.2 (when she was in honeymoon period her body randomly produced insulin as well as what we injected). She also fitted after her childhood imms (no temperature) which they pit down to an allergy to whooping cough but it happened about an hour after...

Cost me about £30 to add to house insurance and cover it when we out of the house

We were in 39 degree heat in france last year. Told to keep it out of direct sunlight and refilled resevoir every day from a visl kept in a air conditioned room

As the mother of a type 1 (so a glucoseguardian i guess) i can pick up the school bit. She hasnt had any stigma as the situation was explained to the class by the childrens DSN who also trained the teachers and teaching assistants. One of the TAs did some more reading up on the subject and has...
