Almost 22 months but we've been referred for IVF now.

Same here. I wouldn't...:)

Congrats on your success - brilliant to see how your T1 didn't stop you becoming a racing driver. I've applied for a Non-Race B in September but so far didn't get anywhere as there was arguing over me having hypos from time to time. I'm diabetic for 35 years and as a T1 I am convinced you're...

I guess I'm one of those people and mine takes a lot longer than 24hrs to settle in as well. It's been in now for 31hrs and is still way off. I'm wondering if it's a sensor of this dodgy batch!? @Hill28 It does not hurt at all and if I can do it anyone can!!! I'm the biggest wimp ever and was...

I've started the Omnipod in July this year and yes, it doesn't have the integrated CGM which would be nice. BUT and that's why I wanted it - it doesn't have any tubing dangling around which was the most important factor for me. But as someone else said everybody will say that their pump is the...

When I spoke to the customer service yesterday I enquired about putting the Omnipod on the same arm as the sensor and they discouraged me from doing so as they said it might well give you faulty readings but it hasn't been tested yet as such. It's annoying as it makes me lose one pump site which...

@smidge Yes, I discovered that as well with the horizontal arrow. But as you said it defeats the point having it as I'd like to know in which direction my bs is going:) Glad to report though that I spoke to customer service this morning and they did some calculations and said there must be a...

Potentially, but I have actually double checked every time. And last night when I scanned and it told me 20 something and my meter said I was 13 something I was quite glad I did as otherwise it could have ended quite badly I guess;). It's true that the libre "can't keep up" if bs is changing...

That might be the case robert72, thanks for your reply. So if it's on the back of your arm do you never lie on it? I imagine it would be the same for me. It's probably worth a try though for me - just need to wait 11 days until I put a new sensor on:) True logindetails, thanks. And to be fair...

Apologies for the attachment - I assumed it would go into the post as a picture:( don't know how to change it...

Morning all! I have a question re-my sensor readings - they're fine during the days and go inaccurate overnight for some reason. Now, I know it can happen if you're laying on it whilst sleeping (not sure how I can avoid it if that's what's causing the problem) or if you're dehydrated (but I...

I test around 10 times a day. Before and after food. Before bed and when I wake up. Before driving and in between. It's crazy that they are trying to limit how many test strips you can have cos as a previous poster said it'll save money in the long run but I guess the NHS doesn't think that far:(

It'll come down quickly and the only thing you can do is test test test..and if you then keep a close eye on sugars you'll be fine I'm sure:) xx

Thank you, I hope so too! And I have heard of so many girls who had unplanned pregnancies and still had healthy beautiful babies. As I said I am sure you (and your potential baby) will be fine. How's your hba1c if you don't mind me asking? xx

Sorry forgot to say I am sure it'll all be fine so don't worry too much (I know it's easier said than done) xx

Hey jojogirl! I can't advise re-higher blood sugars to start with as I've never been pregnant myself (just trying for 20months already) so apologies here. Are you taking any folic acid? If I was you I'd get a prescription for 5mg folic acid (if you aren't taking it already) and start taking it...

My sugar levels returned relatively quickly back to normal after I was signed off to be honest. As I said I was fell walking a lot to get me de-stressed which was great. School is making it look like my diabetes is the problem and I needed support with it which is clearly not the case and never...

I can tell you a little story about how stress affected my diabetes/sugar levels: I work as support staff in a secondary local authority school and I really do love my job - it's often stressful but that's fine and I can cope and it doesn't affect my sugar levels in any way. Beginning of the...

Nice. Congratulations. I had the same in July after almost 35 years on injections. I got used to it very quickly;)

Same here. I am running two cars and none of the insurances increased:)
