Thanks for reply. I'm now trying longer cannulas as I'm using my legs not tummy. I some time do space out the insulin doses.... the only thing the team questioned was why all the doses and not one. I'm waiting to hear back from them on this problem. I've not been given the option of a different...

I have been using the tru steel now. I am still getting the lumps but they are now the width of the plaster. They are sore and unpleasant. The others were too but deeper than these. Don't know what to do now. Any ideas?

Thank you [emoji16]

I've not but I'll ask to try them thanks.... I also need to try some longer cannulas as my pump and Dexcom don't like to be too far apart to communicate and the cannula tubing actually got pulled out in my sleep this week! First time that's happened

I'm using autosoft 90. Some of the lumps are particularly sore and large

I have been rotating my cannula sites on my legs to give my tummy a rest. I'm on tandem t slim and g7. My control has recently been erratic and I've made small slow adjustments to try to control it. Then on the build up to my monthly my insulin requirements go up then suddenly drop off and I...

Ok thanks for the reply

I use the t slim autosoft 90 infusion set

Recently I've been noticing insulin droplets inside the plastic of my cannula insertion point. When I've changed it in the past sometimes the cannula needle has a kink on the end. But recently that hasn't been the case and the cannula has been inserted for longer than a day and no kink. Erratic...

I'm going to start on g7 in about a few weeks and I understood that it's a quicker warm up time.... but this isn't sounding good if you have to put on new g7 whilst still using old g7 for a number of hours.... sorry I'm a bit confused. I've had difficulty with erratic, incorrect and complete...

I am also on a lot less insulin, got down to 33 units novorapid in a day on some days in the month. I've always been 55-65 units a day and upwards. The only other time I needed less insulin was when I was on the antibiotic clarythromycin for a week on the two occasions I took it. My insulin...

From my understanding the ozempic may have helped me by stopping my liver from chucking out glucose in a very unhelpful manner. I've lived with brittle diabetes type 1 with type 2 symptoms and insulin resistance and weight gain and having to take insulin even when I've only had a green salad (...

I am type 1 and been on ozempic for about a year. Gradually worked my way up to 1mg a week injection. The most positive impact on my diabetic control in over 30 years! ( I did also start on the t slim pump some months later along with Dexcom g6). I have felt sick and it's made me more tired than...

I am type one on the t slim pump and Dexcom and I have been on metformin for decades for my insulin resistance. Drs have questioned my type of diabetes then come back to type one with type 2 difficulties. Last year I got put on ozempic for me to help my insulin work better for me. I didn't know...

I'd like to know this too. Asked my team but not heard back from them

I had gained a lot of weight and diets, which I tried loads including atkins ( yes closely supervised) and never lost weight. My big problem has been that I still need a lot of insulin when eating just a green salad! I wasn't believed by a particular diabetic dr for years, I saw lots of...

Thanks for all your replies. I do have the quick and slow acting pens as a back up but really wanted them as a last resort knowing how much difficulty I would have doing the swap and calculations for a couple of days. It's hard enough to try to get bloods under some semblance of control...

Thanks for your reply. I live in a small remote place where the pharmacy is at the drs and there are no others..... they got it today thankfully and my extra 24 hours on the tandem t slim cartridge turned out ok. I know it's not advised so it's certainly not something I would suggest but it...
