I live in Preston, Lancashire (for my sins) and they have offered me Medtronic 640g, Accu check combo, Omnipod. I went for omnipod :) I start in two weeks! I’m scared but excited!

Hi there ruby! I was in the exact same predicament but I’ve gone for omnipod. I got the trial dummy one to see and honestly it’s so comfortable, I hardly noticed it! And that way you’re completely wireless!! I start in a couple weeks and I’m so excited!

Thanks everyone I think that would be a better bet. I just hate wasting it!

It’s weird I’ve been wearing it for years, but Ive been struggling a little bit anxiety wise and I’m kinda sick of all the questions when I wear a strappy top

Oh I didn’t know that thanks!

Me again! I’m due to start the pump in July and I have stacks of pre filled pen injections, both fiasp and Lantus. As I used to work in a pharmacy, I know that they can obviously not reuse this and it will be thrown away. I am so saddened about the tragedy that began our friends over the pond...

Ahhh! I just want somewhere a bit more discreet! It’s hard because I want it to be accurate too! Thanks everyone for their suggestions x

Hi everyone. I’m looking for some recommendations . I’m a libre user and loving it.. however now that it’s hot and I’m wearing sleeveless tops and dresses starting to feel a little self conscious and wanting to know if anyone’s tried any other sites? I’ve heard some say they wear it on their...

Thanks everyone, I think I will talk to her, although I did mention I was a little worried and she wasn’t for budging the time span of all the appointments, the clinic I have to go too is a while away, gotta jump on the motorway to get there so not easiest of journeys! (Nervous driver!) I’ll...

I agree! Did you have to fast and wake up in middle of night when you first started?

Heh everyone thanks for all your input, in response to why a week, the nurse told me it’s a morning session on the Monday, afternoon session on the Tuesday, I have to spend the morning there Thursday going through the pod change and then back again the Tuesday after to see how I’m getting on...

Yes I like this idea. All my family are quite protective and keep telling me that i don’t need to take it as AL and the nurse was offering a sick note. But they have been mega supportive and I don’t want to take advantage.

Hi all!! So I’ve been approved for a pump and I’m so happy but I got super anxious today when they told me that I’d need a week off work with the appointments to set up the pump and educate etc. Now I started my new job at the end of Feb so it’s still quite new. However I’ve had a period of ill...

Hey there Your post struck a chord with me. I was 17 when I was diagnosed and hated it, hated what it did to me, the box it put me into, I did not want to accept it at all, I then by chance realised that if I didn’t inject my insulin I would lose weight.. which I felt for me some positive...

Hey becks. I totally know the feeling, please if you want to dm me for a proper chat that’s absolutely fine, sometimes I don’t get notifications you’ve replied. It’s so hard and I have days where I feel that life’s so unfair and have my own little pity party. But we have to live with the...

Hi! Sorry for late reply. Yeah it’s oroliferative? Yeah I drive, tbh I don’t find my sight is affected too much (fingers crossed) I’ve never had to have laser or injections for it so far, seemed to of avoided that so far but wouldn’t be surprised if I have to next time they get checked. Tighter...

Hi becks they always check your renal function in blood tests when you gogor your annual or 6 monthly checks. They didn’t even raise it to me I had to ask.. I recommend asking what yours are. I wish I had this info sooner, so not to scare or anything but they mentioned that as both eyes and...

When you say yours became a serious problem? What happened? I just can’t afford a Miao Miao at the moment [emoji45]

Hey, yeah think I will. It’s not happening every night but it’s weird that I was indeed hypo when I woke up which makes me think it was a true low. Just not waking up, feel like I haven’t slept. I’m a little anaemic too so doesn’t help!

Hey! Well not in the middle of the night as I didn’t wake up for the low but when I woke up and it said 2.6 on the sensor I checked and it was 3.0 so it’s only a little outs
