Yes please @azure :)

Hi @Rachelley Have you had your eyes screened and HBA1C checked recently? My first thoughts when i read your post was either high or low blood pressure. As its been persisting for so long, I'd be seeking advice from your GP or health team. Hope you feel better soon!

Definitely! I cannot maintain a 3am check and a 5am check & correction every day. I have a 6 year old and a 2 year old as well as being a full time student...it leaves me exhausted! Good luck at your appointment too, I'll keep my fingers crossed that it's good news for you @GrantGam :) Keep...

Thanks @GrantGam! I spent last night watching videos of various types of pump, how they're fitted etc etc. I have to say the Vibe still looks like the most suitable pump for me. I don't think any pump is going to be 100% perfect for every user but to me it'll be a vast improvement for my...

@iHs thank you very much for that information...it can be a bit overwhelming researching the numerous types of pump so I appreciate your reply :)

Thanks so much @azure, all the information you've given is very insightful and helpful. Animas Vibe definitely sounds like it could be a good choice for me :)

Welcome to the forum @AzRami

Hi all, After a meeting with my consultant last Friday, she suggested pump therapy would be the best next step for me due to DP and insulin resistance... I'm now on the waiting list to do the Adapt course (did do DAFNE 10 years ago) and I'm also on the waiting list for a pump. According to my...

So sorry to hear this sad news :(

I have the same period of insulin resistance (from I wake until mid afternoon) whether I'm doing LCHF eating or having carbs such as toast etc. Doing LCHF means I have slightly better control but nowhere near what I should have considering I barely eat any carbs. For the past few weeks I even...

I have 3 eggs either boiled (in a cup with butter added) or scrambled with butter and milk for breakfast. Lunch is salad (lettuce, cucumber and onion) with chicken or tuna, avocado and mayo

I don't follow DAFNE, I done the course around 6 years ago and was on a 4:10 ratio but still had very unstable BG levels, constantly above 13mmols. Out of the full group who done the course, I was the only one on a 4:10 ratio which seemed to baffle the team running the course. They didn't seem...

Hi @Daibell yes it is being very tricky, it's frustrating having poor control for most of the day when you're doing all you can to try and get your BG levels stable and between 4-7mmols. My DSN has had me do several things including: A fasting BG check with nothing to eat after 7pm and...

I did mention pump therapy and was advised it could be in the pipeline once I do the Adapt course which I'm on the waiting list for. Yes I used to be on 10u Levemir at night but my DSN advised to increase both am and pm to try and lower the impact of my DP. My DSN is having a meeting with the...

The information booklet I was given is directed at T2s, however my DSN said that they are now prescribing it for T1s too. I seem to be insulin resistant until around 2pm, 1u of novorapid doesn't even lower my BG by 0.5 a mmol. I then become more sensitive to my Novorapid, with 1u lowering my BG...

Morning all :) My DSN suggested a GLP may benefit me due to my insulin resistance. She said I'd inject it once or twice per day, it'd slow the release of food from my stomach helping to limit the impact of food on my BG levels and also making me feel fuller for longer. Does anyone else inject...

Hi @Peppergirl I'm having the exact same problem regarding weight loss on LCHF! After speaking with my DSN yesterday she advised that GLPs may be a solution for me. You inject it once or twice per day, it's slows the release of food from your tummy making you feel fuller for longer and...
