Sal many more on here with better control and advice than me, I only have one bit. Keep good records of your pump setting and BG readings and analyse them regularly to keep on top of your game. Im 18 months in and was so excited to get mine and didn't realise how much commitment it took esp...

Wow. Your very overwhelmed at the moment. Being a mum with little ones that young is a task without all this to deal with. I was diagnosed with GD in Jan 2007 and later on Sept 2007 lada same as you, no thyroid issues tho. It's does become easier as time passes as you become used to eating...

Hi All not been on for a while. I've noticed my animas vibe has cracked this morning, by the battery compartment. The thing is,this is the second time this is happened so I'm a bit concerned I'm gonna be classed as a liability. I don't do any excessive exercise. I wear pump on bra in day...

Yes I suppose so. Although lve had a few lows recently, probably due to weight loss so due another round of basal testing however I'm suffering with a throat infection at the moment so I'm running on extra. So maybe next week when I'm right I'll start that process. You never know may lose a...

Goodness I'd not thought of this comparison till you asked me. Injections where before I switched - Levemir morning dose 12 evening dose 18. And was taking 1 unit per 10g carbs over all my average intake on pump now is between 35-45units total 22 units basal the rest in bolus. So not...

Hi dollyroger. I've been doing slimming now 4 months 1st lighter. Its a very slow process for me only hit the stone yesterday but at least you know it's possible another lady in my group is a diamond target member also a pump user for over 6 years and only lost the weight when she started...

Arrr I miss read the original post, i thought you said hand luggage. Of course. I feel better if it's within reach anyway. i usually carry some and I get hubby to carry some in hos rucksack just in case.

Will email myself a list of basal rates. That way I can access where ever I am I know the hotel has the Internet Cafe thing should my phone not be available. Why no insulin in hold luggage? I have carried it on board before in the pen form.

Thank you for that time tip, think it's same time though. We will be in the canaries.

Hi All. I'm going abroad in 2 weeks. Aside from taking all my pump supplies, and insulin pens as back up should anything go wrong, can anyone think of anything else that's useful to know info. I'm actually quite nervous bout going though airport security with it. But I don't want to...

Thanks @urbanracer I don't think it's gonna be that moutain like. people have described it as a little rough underfoot but otherwise a good walk. No one has described it as a challenge so maybe it's not that high. But I hadn't considered the change in temp at the top if it is. I do hate...

Hi guys. When on holiday in fuertuventura this year there Is an opportunity to walk up a volcano as a group. I would really like to take part but as we all know the heat can make BG unpredictable. I do have a pump so could have that turned off for a couple hours prior to walk and try to...

When in gym. And BG drops quick I'll top myself up with lucozade but seems a bit of a waste of time using the Cals and drinking the Cals. Someone has suggested using lucozade free. Can it be used to recover low bg same as normal? Any info appreciated.

Hi guys, I posted a few weeks ago about joining slimming world. The first week I lost 1.5lb. The second week put on 1.5lb and put on another 1lb this week. Despite the only detour I've taken is 1 bottle of wine and lucozade to treat hypo's my husband has lost just over 1/2 stone with same...

The last 6 months have been difficult in the sense that while adjusting to the pump and establishing basal rates there's a lot of fasting then starving and there's all the rules no exercise after hypo or Hyper no exercise if you intend to basal test. So a lot of the reason for the non activity...

Hi All. Since using the pump on Dec I've put on just over a stone in weight. The heaviest I've ever been. I attribute it to lack of activities as since being a pump user and the fear of hypos while exercising I've not been the gym or swimming which I was doing on 5 days a week. So I've...

I too have found myself facing the tank instead of the TV. Mesmerised by them. Esp corys.
