Interested in this...I've been trying to walk more as a new year resolution. Always walked in half hour increments but now I'm trying to do a hour. Started at BG of 11 and suspended basal insulin, half hour later I'm 2.7 Do you suspend the basal insulin how before you start exercise?

Interesting...I never thought of it like that! It makes sense tho! :)

In America I've been to a couple Diabetes exhibitions/trade shows. Basically manufacturers set up their new products, get some new tips, and a few freebies ;) Just wondering if there is such thing in the UK? From what I can see by googling it is mostly for healthcare professionals

WOW....wish i would say the same. i'm on 35 u for 24 hour period on the pump! im sure the high insulin rate why its hard for me to loose weight and have been looking at weight loss for type 1 on the forums. I'll have to check out Dr Bernstein's Diabetes Solution @ert

are you having any better luck recently @aphex2k ?? seem to be having more issues than ever with the guardian 3 sensors....just wondering the reliability of them! this week my sensor was telling me i was 2.2 all night and kept suspending basal...but i was 8 so had to wake up every hour to shut...

Good to know! thanks for letting me know...i'll have to get it insured!

Sorry to be ignorant....but why do you get insurance for pumps? Doesn't the mfg replacement them if something goes wrong?

Nice to know someone else is having issues with the guardian3 sensors besides me! I started the sensors about 6 weeks ago and have spent numerous hours on the phone with medtronic in the last few weeks....soooooo annoying. the last batch seem to have a problem calibrating (apparently the blood...

I'll check out the Facebook page tho! Thanks!

It's the medtronic guardian cgm

Just having started the medtronic cgm 10 days ago and having some drama with a rash/allergic reaction. My pump seems to be fine but it's changed every 2-3 days. During the wear of the first week was fine (on back of arm) but after I took the 1st plaster off Monday it's seems to be worse now on...

try not to worry too hard ...every one beats themselves up worrying before scans...even my non diabetic friends!!

i thought laser treatment was the best option whether you are pregnant or not?

i opted for a insulin drip during labour which my diabetes consultant figured out a sliding scale for the midwives and that worked perfectly. otherwise with a pump your partner has to be sure they are confident to do blood tests and be able to change pump if needed which wasnt too sure if i...

That's good to know wannabemammy. Thought i was the only one trying to figure it out! How do u know if u still need the meds? And do u see a consultant specially for blood pressure? Just wondering if i should be working about it or not....

I've had friends who like you feel fine and have normal pregnancies and healthy babies

I would get in touch with your diabetes team...

I was the same...the doc were quite worried about my drastic drop I delivered at 35 weeks. Insulin requirements should be the highest in the last trimester

Wow....be glad you feel ok! I felt nauseous for first 16 weeks. We have enough to think about with control without feeling rubbish so enjoy feeling normal!

I would say def a pump....the adjustments are much more accurate and precise which is what you need in pregnancy
