Hi Spiker, I have recently had the same problem. I phoned animas and they talked it through with me. Apparently the pump vial has a lubricant in it which makes it run smoothly. They asked how much I was moving the plunger before I put it in the pump. I was taught to pump it several times. They...

I hope things go well for you. If you do go onto metformin I was prescribd a fibre called Benefibre which helped with the diarrhoea

Good luck- maybe what your body is doing has changed and so your treatment might need to

maybe have this conversation with the doctor who runs the diabetic clinics at your gp's. They may well be willing to wait 3 months and monitor.

Hi I am not exactly a girl as I have been diabetic for 42 years but happy to chat if it helps until you find someone younger

it looks like it cant be done but surely the don't want us uploading 3 months of someone elses results? that's rubbish. I have emailed the company and will let you know. Many have a reset button that you use a pin for

Hi I have a freestyle insulin and want to wipe the data clean- does anyone know how to reset?

I keep baby carrots, fish sticks, chicken and cheese for when I n eed to snack

chocolate is actually much slower to get into the system due to the amount of fat in it and is recommended not to be used. It sounds to me like he is just using it as an excuse- especially due to the amount he is eating - that is far far to much for a low blood sugar and will cause him to run...

your company must obey the law. it is called the Equality act 2010. they brought in extra protection called discrimination on the grounds of disability- this means not directly about your disability but the effects- this is what this is. He cannot forbid you to be in the locker room because...

I love it. No injections. lots of monitoring but all good. You can take it off. I don't like putting cannula in my leg as I just pull it out. I don't like pj's so it is loose in the bed but just rolls over with me no problems. You can disconnect it at times and mine is a vibe so is waterproof...

Hi, I too have several- I have type 1 and hypothyroid. I also have low vitamin D and polycystic ovaries and SAD so never know what is causing my problems. Life is fun

some chemists do them such as Lloyds but best to look at their web site as can get cheaper prices. It is important if in some countries like Egypt to use bottles water as the water is so impure or it will breed unhealthy bugs and need to be thrown but bottles water means it remains good for...

Hi I am having a recurring problem with my vibe in that it says it is not primed and cannula has not been filled. I wondered if anyone else have experienced this and what is the cause. it is not a one off. Sometimes I occurs when I have just changed and sometimes day 2 etc. I use inset 30...

Hi This is standard across Britain. I get my bins on prescription from my gp or using a pump direct from them so don't have to wait for one to be delivered. I put mine out the night before they collect. Again it is erratic

hI KRISTEN, I would look into stress response if there is nothing personally wrong. Yu say that she and your son are dealing with stuff right now. if this is to do with mother then this would have a great emotional effect. When I am stressed I vomit- cant stop it. Also when I was young I used...

when I am stressed initially my blood sugar goes up but then as a result of that and after the liver has released its stored then it takes it back. as a result of that the blood sugar falls and usually rapidly. for example- I have gone into and interview at 24 and come out at 1.8- obviously I...

I have been diabetic since I was 3 and am now 46. Over the years I have met many ignorant and rude people who have told me that I don't know how to look after myself. I know have a chronic back condition and need surgery so as a result of this I have put on 4 stone in weight- I was also changed...
