Turn the signal loss alarms off. Haven’t had mine on since there was a signal to lose. Drove me up the wall. Once you are not aware there is a loss it’s amazing how quickly that loss is irrelevant. Very few gaps. And when there is it can be filled in.

Very poor practise. Would be no good for me. I pick up a new box with five Tresiba in at a time in. Each vial lasts four weeks when I then dispose of due to poor efficacy. Yes they can be kept out of the fridge, but only if in use. Each of my Fiasp lasts two weeks.

@DiabeticDi I just googled this procedure in relation to Type ones. It does say to contact Dr and liaise re insulin requirements.

Just put your question into Google. The answer is yes. It is classed as a disability and covered under the Disability and Discrimination act 1995. They are in the wrong and heading for trouble.

Love a variety of veggies if I go a couple of days without I am craving them. Not a meat and two veg girl. More a meat and five veg girl. No longer bother with potatoes. @Marie 2 when I was a child my parents had a large garden and grew everything. It became a long standing joke that if there...

Still keep updating my I phone [emoji637][emoji638] mini with no issues. I’m finding it interesting that there are issues for some and not others. @Ushthetaff agree on the phone size issue. Love the mini.

Hi @Zeppex as a type one my management of this condition is different. However I am going to try and address some of the issues you are raising. Yes the medical profession are less worried about the higher level HbA1c in the older amongst us. However, it is perfectly acceptable on a personal...

How did you get on with the shingles jab? I found it awful and am dreading the next one. Always have my flu jab, but was contemplating ditching the covid one this year. Now I don’t have to make that decision.

In Leeds they provide a [emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji639]]l bin as a must for putting the used applicator in. Don’t know why, never requested it. I get a new one once a year. The sensor I peel off sticky backing, cutoff filament and put in battery recycling.

I always refer people to read the NICE guidelines, they are an interesting read and the list of points show you really need to be seeing people with more expertise in diabetes than a GP. No type one should be denied a CGM. That has been the case now for a long while.

Have just been back and read this thread. Astonishing! I am so glad they managed to get to you and start treatment. The relief you must be feeling to get a diagnosis. I googled to read the symptoms and very low sugar levels are indeed one of them. And many of the other problems you were having...

What I will say is Type One’s are not expected to have their levels back in range after two hours. Insulin continues working, the length varies depending on the insulin. I know that I can take four to five hours but will drop back. If I injected correction doses after two hours I would go hypo...

Good old Grimsby! My home town. A very exiting match. And in my opinion a much deserved win. Could have done with some of that rain they had over in Yorkshire.

Been using the Libre 2+ for the last few months. Haven’t had any fall off. Haven’t had to remove any. 65 years old with an I phone mini working on 18.6 Have been using Libre for many years since the very basic model came out and had very few cause issues. Always replaced without any problem...

Advantage of a reusable pen is memory of injected doses and ability to link information to Libre.

Shall recuse myself. Am busy caring for parents who live away where there is no reliable internet access and grandchildren. Have little time for me as it is. Thank you for suggesting me.

Hi @Bluemarinejosephine like yourself I am very resistant to all forms of medication, taking just insulin. Many years ago before my diabetes diagnosis I was in need of help following some ongoing health issues. I remember picking up the prescription for Prozac and having it sat on my kitchen...

@Addaia01 switch the signal alarms off. Did that years ago I know when the alarm goes off there is a specific reason.

This applies to closed loop along with people who find managing the condition hard and have a high HbA[emoji637]c. The criteria for just pumps are still strict and very few people make the grade unfortunately.

Fabulous! @JimW
