No I don't. I'm type 1 in insulin pump and max dose metformin. Low to no carb doesn't make a huge amount of difference to my control or insulin levels. One of those apparently unique cases the drs day. Currently on 16:8 eating regime. Was in 500-800 calories a day now more like 1200. Offered...

Thanks for your reply's

Interested to know if there are any type 1's on here who take SGLT 2 or dapagliflozin?

Hi yes that is correct. My nurse has just got back to me. I have asked if I could be allowed to trial a very low dose. It's that or byetta. And I'd already shown I was able to follow a 500-800 calorie a day diet with no carbs

Thanks for the reply's. I've been type 1 for about 30 years. I've been on metformin for years. I've tried byetta. I've done no carb and low carb and it's said now it's recognised that my body reacts with ketogenesis and so I can end up taking almost as much insulin for a green salad as I do a...

This week I had my diabetic consultant and team on a speaker phone consultation. The line wasn't completely clear so I didn't grasp a couple of words. But I had asked, again, why clarythromycin may have made my insulin requirements by a third in 7 days and was there another medication that did...

I am 47, had type 1 for 30 years. I am insulin resistant and brittle diabetes. I'm on the pump, libre and metformin. I've tried alsorts if ways to lose weight but just continued to gain. Started slim pod this year, the 16:8 IF. Now finally I'm losing some weight. Almost a stone at the moment...

Thank you for your reply. I have had trauma in my life and stress that has come from that. It has left me I guess with the hyper vigilant switch stitched on as it's been described by my M.E. specialist support carer. I have tried many many things to make this better But adrenaline can kick in...

I’ve known for years about my blood sugars going higher due to stress, but if I ever had to prove it then now I have. I’m doing the 16:8 way of living at the moment and so because I don’t eat til about 3pm, I can see what effects my bloods before this time. Excluding basal reasons. Due to having...

Yes as Jaylee says below it's the mobile all encompassing one. The lancets are attached to the side of the machine and the test area is in a barrel of 50 which automatically resets for you each time. I use that and libre mostly. Haven't used the 'old' insight handset for ages as it's so slow. My...

I didn't have the libre last time I dived but I tested my blood before and straight after dive. Try it if you feel confident in your waterproof casing.

I've found a silicon pump case but for a different pump, that I like. I've found a neoprene bright pink pump case for the arm, leg or tummy that I like but it's from America or Australia. Have searched loads of places. Any ideas or suggestions before I design and make my own hooks and clips are...

Ok a few years on. Dr took me off gliclazide as he said it was an old drug he was phasing out. I have moved under extreme stress and it's been **** since. But I have been on the pump for about 5 years. Full dose metformin. One dr wouldn't accept I could eat green salad and it made my sugars...

Thanks. I have had my cannula pulled away from the skin at night but was awake so could remedy that straight away. Have had this happen a few times when the pump falls out of underwear as it yanks on the tubing. Going to make an across the body bag for it to go under my t shirt and see how I go...

I have the insight pump and when I used the hand set I had the pump in a bra pouch. I then hooked this on my nightie over night. I’ve now been on libre for some time and accucheck upgrades test machine which is loaded with a barrel cartridge to use as back up. So this makes the insight test...

I’m on the flexible 8mm cannulas, straight. I have to change every other day sometimes everyday and often get quite a lump at site, I assume insulin. I’ve been offered to try the metal ones or angled but perhaps not just yet whilst covid is affecting supplies I’ve been told. Not sure if cannula...

I've had this once. It just kept bleeding and bleeding!

I'm on the accucheck insight and am now on my second round of it making it about 5 years. I can only use it on the lower part of my tummy and change cannula every two days now because too much insulin builds up in one place at the site otherwise. I've tried above my waste and it varies from...

Hi just an update. I'm using mySugr. My nurse noticed and said it was the Roche one so I could use it for bolus workings too... long story short.... after few people working on it when I knew something wasn't quite right. I'm on the insight pump. That handset cannot be used with mySugr as it...

Hi thanks no it's ok I just noticed this and thought I'd better respond [emoji846] didn't mean to have left it
