Thank you for the love :) I hope everyone is doing okay as well! I have tried skin tac, but I think I need another kind of tape, skin tac works up until the tape starts to fray around the edges and that’s when I’m hoping nothing gets caught under it. I was so sweaty this summer, and that’s...

I think Dexcom G6 are doing a free trial, otherwise self funding :( CGM funding is not widely available to type 1s, CCG funding etc is different across the UK, so I think chances are very slim for T2

Hello everyone! It’s been a long time! I have a chunk of news to share with everyone - first one is I am back at uni! I handed my notice to my manager 5 weeks ago, my job was getting harder and harder as time went on. Diabetes wise, I’m not doing too well, it went down hill from when I got my...

Hello again, I’m just checking in on everyone, how is everyone? I read a news article that was very sad. :(

@Fairygodmother Sorry for the late reply, I think this time around therapy has helped. Thank you, :)

Hello everyone! It’s been a while, how is everyone? - I’ve had both vaccines - I got fed up with CGM issues to that point I stopped wearing it. I did call Medtronic about it and they confirmed it wasn’t a transmitter issue. Anyone know anything about transmitter replacements after a year...

Hello, I’ve been enjoying matcha tea, so I decided to brew a dirty iced vanilla matcha latte (with espresso). :) I spoiled my birthday gift because I gave my boyfriend a very valid reason - if it’s something that I can wear I can’t wear it at work - watches, jewellery etc. Especially with...

I hear you! I caught up on sleep though :)

Hello there friends, I’m finishing up my annual leave so I thought I’d pop on to say hello. I’ve had my second Pfizer vaccine, this time it hurts and I got a huge lump from it. Headaches and high BG included :( I took a wee break from wearing my sensor and I’m praying my team won’t be angry...

Hello there, you’ll need to speak to your consultant about a pump and There is criteria for it: https://jdrf.org.uk/information-support/treatments-technologies/insulin-pump-therapy/can-i-get-an-insulin-pump-on-the-nhs/ Even for self funding, you’ll need approval from your consultant, or a...

Hello I see some nice art work going on, breath taking! How is everyone? Long long time since I posted, but I got a replacement pump not that long ago. I’ve upgraded to level 20 and I’ve been pumping for a year - time flies! Work is the same busy place, I’ve experienced the end of life...

I’m aware of auto mode because I’m in auto mode. There are very very few of us on CGMs/closed loop systems so pumps without that do offer a split/square/dual wave bolus for higher fat meals.

Hello, I think you’ll have to ask about it. However when I was doing DAFNE in november 2019, there was another person with a pump doing it with us. But when it came to adjusting our carb ratios, his ratios and the advice given to him were more specifically for him and his pump. With higher...

Hello Warren Welcome! I’m aware your GP can give you more test strips. I had a similar issue back in 2013, where my GP gave me just one box and I was suffering hypos, of course I’d go through weekends without testing so I needed an ambulance. GP since then has given more. Also you don’t need...

Hello friends, I’m very sad to say that most of us have joined the tier 4 party. I’m incredibly bored, tired and frustrated with this, but early Happy new year to everyone! I got a letter today for my maxillofacial surgery, but annoyingly they need to call me to schedule an appointment. I...

Unfortunately the picture is quite low quality, but it’s definitely my front door. Neighbour’s door is much nicer with two alive plants. I had a scout around my house and I checked the bins, no sign of it :(

In that case, I wished the person opened it because surely they don’t want makeup, but we’d never know xD I’ve heard that too because of covid-19, there would be someone patrolling to steal parcels outside people’s doors etc. It’s such a shame that people would go that far to do it, I know times...

Hello friends, Anyone else have had their parcel disappear from their front door? I was expecting a parcel today, postie delivered it - he went through the trouble of taking a pic leaving my parcel outside my front door. Bf went to get it and it wasn’t there. I felt like I was being teased...

Hopefully not, I’ve heard some people do trigger off alarms and some people don’t. We all had a good laugh!

Oh yes, with some cheese? We gave up and my bf did tell his dad about it. So we are all cackling. :) it doesn’t block the opening of the bottle, it just looks ridiculous.
