That was good advice which I'm going to try & keep in mind as I never stop trying to keep on top of it. I just get annoyed as I've had 4 really great days & then today, hey ho.....

Hi, can anyone else relate to this? So Saturday evening & best friend comes to visit. Being Saturday night we shared a Chinese meal & a bottle of white wine each. Meal was all weighed & carb counted & wine was lovely & cold. Fast forward till today....... set a temp bolus of 30% reduction to...

I did the same a good few years ago prepump. Called NHS24 in a panic. Advice was to have a feast. Put me off Mars bars for life! Lol

Hi, I have the subscription app, think it was £35 for one year, it wasn't cheap but I love it. The other option is the book which gives as much information as the subscribed app, you can buy from Amazon @ £13.99 but it is bulky to carry if you are out & about.

Hi, I've been using omnipod since March. A couple did come loose in the summer when the temperature was at its highest. I use skin prep by smith&nephew, £14.99 for 50 from Amazon. Wipe the area that you are applying the pod 2, it's makes the skin tacky and I have had no problems since using it...

Hi, I am also type 1 & had covid just over a year ago. Best advice I can give is to make sure you follow your sick day rules & take medication that you would normally take for flu/cold. Keep your fluids up & check your BG regularly. If levels are high check for ketones. I found my BG had...

Thanks for your help Nicole.

Thanks Juicy J appreciate your help. Will give it a go!

@Juicyj & @NicoleC1971 Hi girls, I am planning to go to a yoga class before teatime tonight. Do either of you have general experience of whether this type of exercise drastically lowers BG. For an active workout I tend to lower basal by 40% Thanks

Hi, I think you should be able to drive as they have not advised otherwise.

Hi, my last pregnancy was 20 years ago but I do remember my background insulin needs returning to pre-pregnancy within weeks rather than months. Maybe be best to call your diabetes team for clarification as it may well be that either a.m. and p.m. doses need upping or one or the other. I've...

Hi chloelox, this might not help but what is your correction ratio?

I had the same thought. We probably won't hear one way or the other regarding the investigation results. Such a tragedy

Hi, if this an unusual occurrence & I know it's not ideal but you could try some gentle exercise.

That's good news. You're not alone thinking pods aren't working, I dread to think how many I abandoned in the early days. Glad it's improved!

@StewM Hiya, how are you getting on? Any improvement?

It was, poor guy & his poor husband and family

Hi Folks, my mum called me tonight in a bit of a panic after seeing this on TV...

Thanks Stew, I don't think it's fat as low fat bread roll & think hot dogs are low fat. Can't seem to get to the bottom of it. With high fat/high protein I use 60/40 extended bolus for either 1 or 1.5 hours. Sharon B said to start with the 60/40 & it does work for me. Give it a go.

I really feel for you and can understand your feelings but you will begin to feel better once the diagnosis kicks in & you see how resilient your wee daughter is. Thinking of you x
