    What stupidity to attempt next year?

    Thanks, that's a good idea, I fancy something with a bit more interest than just following a signposted route, a bit of navigational challenge as well.

    Steel Cut oats

    Anyone know where I can get them, none in Waitrose yesterday

    Looks like another potential route for CGM?

    I've just seen it on BBC news, and it does look like a once-only thing with analaysis based on absorbtion, then removal and lab analysis in a GC or similar.

    Looks like another potential route for CGM?

    It was slightly contradictory in that it was one-use for drug delivery, but also said that it was used in neo-natal monitoring

    Diabetes Protocol claims to cure type2 diabetes

    I'd offer two responses here, 1) that's not a very low carb diet really. Yes it's lower than average, but not that low, also what form are those carbs in? 2) are you exercising too hard? If you are in a low HR mode (even for endurance exercise) you'll use carbs initially adn then switch to fat...

    Retinopathy shocking...

    My problem is fitting these things in around my work pattern, where I can be scheduling things 6-12months from now with hard dates in mine and clients diaries, and with me being away several weeks a month typically leaving the house at some point in Monday and getting back on Friday. I can...

    Back to MDI - Cellnovo wasn't working

    Given my experience I'd be waiting until Feb for the Insight. Addenbrookes are not giving out new Cellnovos at the moment due to the wide ranging issues. It'll be back soon

    Broken needle

    background insulin

    It may take a few days to build the effect in your system. Which backround insulin are you on as some show changes more quickly than others

    How many IU?

    BTW, where in NZ are you? I've got a cousin in Christchurch, lovely part of the world

    How many IU?

    I agree entirely with your last statement. Perhaps "entirely irrelevant" is a bit harsh and not what I actually said, I was just trying to get you to think about it in a different way My point, which you appear to agree with, at least in part, is that you as an 86kg strength athlete reall...

    Retinopathy shocking...

    I must be lucky, I've not needd the drops yet, which would be a problem as I tend to cycle to the appointments anyway.

    Roche Insight Pump

    For comparison, the CellNovo is almost tubeless (20-50ml variations) and the reservoir holds 150U. There is a timing chip in it though which de-activates it at 72 hours, hard coded, no options. Pump stops, that's it. So there is a definite advantage for low users like me (<10U/day on a...

    Thank you, that's one thing you've always done whether or not you agree with what people are saying

    In the final push - can we make it to £1000

    And another one. Thank you very much. Some of the research out there is truly inspirational at the moment and even if a cure is not imminent, better management must be just round the corner

    What stupidity to attempt next year?

    Oh dear, please explain 1) what you think I have done to upset you 2) why you think I am stupid 3) why you think I am bragging - should success in any form be simply ignored? My motivation this year is clearly to raise money for charity by using my ability, next year I want to have fun for my...

    Does one of your fingers hurt more??

    I don't have one finger that hurtsmore doing the test, but I do have one that seems to remain more painful afterwards

    How many IU?

    Teh problem with this kind of question is that it's looking at it from the wrong direction. How much insulin I use is irrelevant to you or anyone lese, as the replies above demonstrate. Teh question really needs to be "am I taking the right doses for me and how do I know?" as there are so...
