Thanks everyone for your responses... Think will definitely rethink the amount of very bery hypo treatments I take feel I was just being too over cautious:banghead:

Hi guys will be flying out on my hols on Saturday and whilst I know that the bottles of very berry glucose juice that I carry on board must be in clear plastic bags was just wondering if I am able to take the rest in my suitcase. Probably a daft question but don't relish the thought of carrying...

I am due to be flying to Jamaica this comming weekend. I know that the X-ray machines are a no no with a pump and can appreciate a request to disconnect my pump and go through the body scanner but I also use the dexcom G4 cgm... Does anybody know if the dexcom is safe to go through a body...

Hi.. I normally carry 2 bottles of very berry glucose shots, 3 tubes of glucose tabs and 2 plastic tubs containing 4 biscuits in each.

Hi there... Basal rate hey.... Bane of my life... Mine seems to keep changing every other week... As soon I get my rate spot on feels like I need to increase/decrease every other week!! Love this condition I do!!

After a horrendous day yesterday think I'm 'back on track'....not done anything different... Nature of the beast I guess!! :happy:

I use the dexcom G4 with the animas vibe and fund the CGM invaluable. Whilst it is 15 -20 mins behind and not as accurate as an actual BS reading seeing trends over the course of a day helps me with fine tuning my basal and seeing what foods spike me and for how long. It also really helps me...

Hi there fab new about the pump... Probably best move you'll have ever made! If you have a good understanding employer may be worth while asking for a couple days off work if possible as a lot of basal testing will need to be done initially. I took 3 days off as I felt the most important was to...

I have often taken a small dose of insulin as a correction before eating so as to get me back in range before calculating my dose for my meal. However I must stress that I am very cinfident that my ISF and my basal rate is set correctly. I wouldn't recommend this though without you ensuring...

Thank you all for the birthay best wishes.... appreciate them all - they have really cheered me up :-)

Well had very little sleep last night with the dog playing up and unexpected high BS readings - Dexcom doing nothing but vibrating, to get up at 5am to start work at 7am finishing at 6:30pm to be told will soon have to work to 8pm feeling hungry tired dealing with **** and to top it off in the...

Mine's 5.5 - 6.1 throughout the day and 6.3 - 6.7 during the night Mine's 5.5 - 6.1 throughout the day and 6.3 - 6.7 during the night. Ha1c came in at 46 consultant happy but GP wants me to raise Ha1c by increasing my background insulin so as to prevent hypos??? Even though only may have the...

* when your cgm wakes you in the early hours showing you are below your minimum limit but on testing you are actually 6 mmol!!

Me too reported about 4..... Absolute Muppets!!!!!

Wow thanks for the translation... But who wants to be frustrated by this on a site for people already so frustrated about trying to manage their condition and need to seek help advice and support ..... I certainly dont.... Just hope someone is able to remove all this garbage !!:arghh:

Just woke up to check this great site and a number forums have thousands of threads all in Chinese!! Also in my notifications I have loads of them saying "someone licks s comment you made about them etc etc" is it just my account or is some F@£#&_g B@#£#_d tying to destroy this great site which...

Congratulations on those readings... Those readings I could only wish for... Keep up the excellent work your doing so well:)

Hi there I can not comment on exercise as I have not thrown that into the mix yet. Regards to carbs I tend to always inject before my meal unless my bs is on the low side is less than 4.5 then may inject after my meal. If I was to have a high fat meal which would have an effect on insulin...

Hope you find them they not only work for me fantastically but are also really easy to carry around they are in very small plastic bottles
