In my case they check I thoroughly. They used an ice cube with me to check my feeling, if they weren't satisfied they would have done it again. They leave it a little while to make sure it has worked! That hit was the bout bit that wasn't pleasant, getting the epidural in, to be honest but the...

Age 9 in 1997 just had my 18th anniversary with my lifelong pal, type 1! X

I had a planned c section, i was fairly relaxed trough out the whole thing to be fair. They would have let me go natural up until my planned date but wouldn't let me go any further. I would have loved a natural birth, but it wasn't meant to be, my beautiful boy was delivered by c section at 38...

Thanks @himtoo I have just been speaking to mine now, got to stay up another hour and check both sugar and ketones are on their way down! I do love it already, went for a walk and just out a -20% basal on- fab! As u say it's just all those little creases that we need to iron out! My diabetic...

No no anyone free to join, oopsie, thought I put it on the main discussion page! The more the merrier! [emoji57]

Thanks @noblehead, that's a brill idea I'll ask them to let me know if any training comes up! Need to be confident in the pump before trying! High sugars tonight [emoji19] insulin from the pens wearing off now so need more from omnipod! Just a massive balancing act x

Mine was about diabetes, but I agree about that one! Haha

Should u be eating that? But, you're not allowed chocolate... Aren't I? Watch me! Actually makes my eye twitch like scrat from ice age ;-/

Thank u, I'm giving it a few more weeks yet to be more comfortable on the omnipod before even trying. I have been prescribed some folic acid but haven't started taking it yet. Will I have to have more appointments/more regular hba1cs?

Hello, I have been type 1 diabetic for 18 years. I have a little boy who is 5 and my partner and I are hoping to get pregnant again asap. I had a tough time when pregnant with my little boy (trying to manage on injections) so I am now on the omnipod in the hope I can 'tweak' my sugars better...

Ok, so I'm reading a book at the moment, the character has a 'shovel list' about words/phrases she hates so much that she wants to hit people over the head with a shovel! An example from the book is, "here's the deal." Now, I've had some pretty stupid/cringeworthy things said to me over my...

It depends who u talk to... My diabetic Doctor wasn't happy with anything at all under 4 where as my nurse said the high 3s are ok (they were usually just before I was due a snack) x

I also have a dietitian who was a lot, lot bigger than me. She ranted at me for what i was eating, so I took it n thought ok, maybe I do need to be a bit healthier. Has to sit and wait to see the nurse, the dietitian came in from the canteen... Sausage bap, McCoys crisps, can of full fat coke...

Yeah I really like it, love that it has no wires! They did my hba1c the morning of getting the omnipod then will do it again after a month! Bit of a pain with the start up as I was up in the night for about an hour as my sugar was 4. But still have insulin from the pens floating round!

Just started my omnipod today [emoji5]

Yes it is the freestyle strips not the freestyle lite. They are the only ones that work

I feel the same, my mum has had terrible health problems due to diabetes. although on the most part I take good care of myself the future still terrifies me! It's so reassuring to read the comments, because I think the actual worry of how things could be is probably worse than it may turn out! I...

Thank u @noblehead I am confident with the features, just a bit nervous. I have to half my basal tonight to prepare for tomorrow, but I'm convinced it's going to throw me really high in the morning, but we'll see! A girl at the school I work at has a pod and I thought it was amazing without the...

I was refused more test strips on my repeat prescription, with the Drs surgery saying if I needed to test so much I needed to contact my diabetic clinic. At the time I was 7 months pregnant with blood sugars that we're all over the place and the diabetic center were certainly aware of my...

Thank you snapsy! Lol! Your other half may be put out at that haha! I know what you mean tho! Because it's so different! I think I was scared because I was put on a pump when I was pregnant and I hated it! I didn't have the grace period u have when starting normally to figure things out ...
