I too have gain 1/2 stone despite having about 2 days vomiting and 3days with ketones. 4 weeks away from the gym while I adjusted to my new pump. On treadmill as I type though taking it easy with a little inclined walk. I've got 8 weeks till I'm 40, I will feel fabulous for it.

Well an unexpected afternoon off today so I'm making the step to go back the gym, since getting my pump on 7th Dec. I never really had control over BG in gym while on MDI. So it's all gonna be an education. My usual routine was cardio and strength but since I'm aware these both affect BG in...

Is that a graph from your diasend Gaz-M, I've not even looked at using that but looks like it could be an advantage to have a print put to analyse. How are you feeling now, since being on pump. Although I had that blip of illness last week, I'm not going the loo in the middle of the night no...

Hi guys. Is it feasible that a basal rate should be set for a short time like 3hrs. Got my overnight right and been testing morning rate from waking 7am till noon. BGs stay steady from waking to around 11/11.30 then start to rise but quite a lot 3\4mmol. (however I'm still getting lows...

I was 30. pregnant with my son. 9 years this month although can't remember date. I remember reading a post somewhere, shortly after diagnosis,from a lady who said she was celebrating 40 years of being a diabetic and her son had recently been diagnosed he was 11 at the time so that boy...

It definitely keeps the bingo wings at bay. Did you just change rations then and not you basal over the holidays.

I see it now, In the words of Homer DOH.

Goodness I'm not sure I'm that organised. I do know 1 other type1 that lives local though so could try enlist her help. It sure is nice to know others with common ground.

@CarbsRok I thought you said you had a vibe too trawling though past posts trying to find the one that said you did. thank you. Will know that for next time now.

@iHs. I have. Question about the vibe. I changed the battery about an hour after my meal, then went to check how much IOB was left and it said 0.00, Since its been two hours since meal and it's 4 hours for insulin to work I know there's still some at work but the pump isn't registering it...

In particular. Haha

Do you ever have meet ups up north. Liverpool I'm particular.

I'm just gobsmacked and the amount of variance work and days off create. 2 days back in work and my BG although not steady have been between 4-10. I just didn't realise the variance was gonna be so great. But it's another learning curve I suppose. Not looking forward to my next lazy day...

So after having a nightmare with my control while ill, I thought I had it back in control however after 5 days of poor control, wondering is it and changing the insulin, the set, am I still ill, and eating only meals keeping the alcohol to new years eve. I'm still waking with BGs of 12-15. Now...

I've renewed licence 3 times now they always send documents out and ask for the correspondence a good 8-12 weeks in advance in the hope they get your new license to you before the old one actually runs out, and yes unless told otherwise you can still drive. I always keep a photocopy of back...

I too prefere luco if I'm having a low, but if I'm heading toward one, getting low with IOB I'll eat jelly babies. Fortunately I don't like them so I'll eat 4/5 and re test to see if I've leveled out. used to use haribos but that's just a hyper coming on coz I can't stop. Hate glucojuice it's...

I do find myself that when my blood sugars are elevated I do have more of an urgency to use the loo. it's not so much the amount of times I have to go but the fact I do feel like I have little to no control of my bladder, and have woke in the night and had to do the dash to the bathroom. As...

This is interesting, I love going the gym. Not to be fabulously thin, I'll never be that but to keep me in a good state of mind. It's proactive self care. I haven't been though since getting my pump (7dec) so much else to take on board. While on MDI I used to do both cardio and strength in...

I've been diabetic for 9 years and only just got a pump, it had been suggested to me but I couldn't see it fitting my life, however 3 weeks in and I feel confident this is going to work once I get past all the initial hurdles. My experience with my diabetes team was the more pro active I am the...

I got fantastic advice over the past 2 days. Can't thank you all enough. All back within normal readings now and no ketones. I'm proper sick of the sight of water now though.
