I mainly use CGM but if I've changed the sensor within last 24 hours I still check using finger prick. Readings within first 24 hours can be quite a bit out.

Oops! Lol

Congrats @Moosh97. I have had two successful pregnancies. We are all different but you will probably find you need less insulin in the first trimester but then your needs will change & you'll gradually need more insulin. You will need to ensure that you are checking your BG constantly...

I'm looking forward to giving it a go, have heard that the young coach is a bit of a contortionist, I'll be in agony, lol.

Thanks Nicole, will go with the 45% reduction initially for the LBT session, see how it goes & adjust for next time if need be. Don't think it's hot yoga but will reduce insulin a bit. Let's see if I can actually stand up or move in the next few days, lol. Thanks for your support. PS take my hat...

This is good to know. I know I'll just need to give it a go, just didn't want to reduce insulin too much & end up with massive high leaving me feeling rotten. Thanks for info.

Hi everyone, I bit the bullet last week & joined a gym. I've has 2 cardio exercise classes, reduced insulin via pump by 45%, one class more successful than the other; one non hypo & one hypo. I'm wanting to try a thighs, bums & tums toning class & a yoga class next. Does anyone have experience...

I was exactly the same, hand sweats & anxious. Once I did the first one & realised it was a breeze the fear melted. Go on, you know you can do it!

Morning Andrew, I was diagnosed at 21 and am now 52 but still remember the shock of diagnosis. Please do not be hard on yourself (from one person who learned through experience). Just now for you is just a period of settling down & getting to know your bodies needs. With regards to the food...

I know it's personal to each & everyone of us but I'm curious to know what others have set as their upper range limit?

I agree 100%!

Hi, I had never used a pump b4 starting omnipod dash in March this year. You may not encounter this but these are some of the niggles I experienced: It took me a few months before getting the correct basal rates set up for different activities but fantastic to use now, much less hypos. The pod...

Thanks Searley.

Definitely worth all the effort it needs to get the dosages correct. The specialist team will indicate one month to get there but it takes much longer. I'd say 4-6 months before I was comfortable with settings, a lot less hypos as can set temporary basal when more active. I'll be honest I...

Hi, think I might have found solution. Time will tell as just tried it but seems OK so far. Swipe down on your home screen, (flight mode torch, Bluetooth, etc) press on location, then select libre app & grant permission. Fingers x'd

But if there are referrals to follow up clinics following an accident overseas patients will be charged x

Hi, have you contacted insulin to enquire?

Hi, have you tried a carb free day to check basal rates? Is it one basal injection or do you split it a.m. & p.m.? I would contact the pump nurse to see if they can provide alternative guidance.

Hiya, I've only been using the pump since March so my first experience. Initially I despised it, so much to think about & adjust to but now I'm OK with it. Certainly aspects of it could be improved. I have a bad cold just now which has affected my BG readings but no where to record on the PDM...
