It takes time to learn how a different insulin affects previously embedded T1 actions, and it can be disconcerting. I’ve been using Fiasp for a while now and also switched to it from Novo. Like you, I find that a larger dose is required to reduce a high; I wonder if the first phase of the...

Yes, enjoy the picnic with your friends Becca. I order if it’ll last until bedtime, there’ll be so much to catch up on. There’s real joy in reconnecting with people after such a long and stressful time, hooray for a little vaccine breathing space.

Happy Weekend all. Have a good one.

Good morning Karen, good morning all. Yes, I agree @urbanracer, the trial subjects for the closed loop will no doubt be picked by the Lead Endo in the chosen set of CCGs. I was feeling the desire for the device that’s tantalisingly dangling from a branch of medical research. I think we’d all...

Good morning all. I WANT to be part of that trial @urbanracer.

Another sunny day, another one that’s going to be a teeny weeny bit warm. The outdoor tap, vintage 1936, suffered what’s likely to be terminal malfunction yesterday. It’s a shame, it’s a lovely throwback tap. Still, it’s done well to keep going for 85 years. May we all last as long and look...

Good morning everyone. Still here, juggling basal like the rest of you. In a momentary sweet spot with just a half unit increase but expecting that to be short-lived. Like you, Karen and Becca, a half unit can make a lot of difference, so when will quarter unit pens arrive for those of us...

If they’d watched South Pacific they might have got all gooey eyed.

Has anyone who discovered hitherto unknown relatives found other T1s among them? My nephew, half-sister’s son, was a T1.

@urbanracer I found out when I was about 11 that my father had had a wife and other women previous to my mother but no divorce. He’d left her for her sister. Gawd! A few years later, he and my mother were married, bigamously, when I was on the way. My mother didn’t know about his previous. I...

Does your diet include foods that contain Omega 3? Things like greens, nuts, oily fish, gas? I can’t find many quantity/gram figures but there’s this https://www.heartuk.org.uk/low-cholesterol-foods/omega-3-fats

@Jaylee, I saw on another thread that you had some odd symptoms; have you managed to book a PCR test? Hope it’s just one of those jab effects and nothing we need to worry about.

Lots of wind here too, trees thrashing about but seagulls just coasting through it, they’re amazing. I’m stuck at home right now. I was supposed to be seeing a couple of good friends this afternoon but I’ve an infection resurgence to quell, the usual one, the one that really likes people with...

Happy Crimble @becca59

Hi and welcome @Quinapril.

Hi @Marie 2, late response I know. EoPatch, I think, a South Korean venture. It sounds as though it’s similar to a Tandem but I know too little to be sure.

The way it works this side of the pond the Consultant would need to authorise that I have a pump and my bloods have, so far, been too good for that to happen. I couldn’t afford to self fund a pump so I think the only way for me to get one would be to the endure months of misery that’d accompany...

I can confirm that Fiasp tends to lose its oomph after about two weeks. I keep my insulin pens in a Frio but even then both Fiasp and Levemir can decline in effectiveness as time out of the fridge passes. It also seems to vary from cartridge to cartridge; outdoor and indoor temperatures aren’t...

Thank you for commiserations @becca59 and @Marie 2. I was cross with myself. I even failed to be cross enough to release enough adrenaline to raise blood sugars: double inadequacy. I saw your reference on another thread his morning to the development of an integrated cgm and pump, a looping...

Good to hear you’re here @Japes. Yes, working in education is tough right now; it’s exhaustingly taxing. Older daughter’s experiences and frustrations with the way the ‘rules’ lag behind the ‘realities’ plus the extra work and pupil support over the last year has made me very grateful that...
