Hi all, How many carbs should I allow as it says on jar 94 grams/100 but of which only 3 / 100 is sugars

I am on Animas, it's really good. But one thing I read somewhere about Medtronic is you can set half ratios on carb ratio. Say you would like 10.5 carbs to 1 unit. So I read it will accept 21 to2 . Don't know as don't have one...correct me if I am wrong.

I also found libra accuracy after the first week to be not good. I was paying £50 each. They were also difficult to get them to replace a sensor. I also tried diacom g4 which was better but only lasted about 10 days. Most accurate is blood tests.

Has anyone managed to retain there driving licence after having 5 laser treatments in each eye

I have a cheap contract android phone G3. Works ok. Just £8 a month. I recently uninstalled Google Chrome and put on internet explorer BRAVE. Also using DuckDuckGo for search. Phone has speeded up a lot

I been type 1 for 53 years. Only been pumping for 18 months. A big advantage is, if you want to alter basal rate with tresiba it takes 3 day's to see effect. With pump it's a few hours. I used tresiba the pump is very good for me. When going out for meal just dial in the carbs and press go, or...

I have had 5 in right and3 in left about 12 years ago.now I have been told need more in left. They can only do a maximum of 5 in each. Will lose liscence now. Got a car and 2 vintage motorbikes ( my hobby) will have to use bus or cycle. Type 1 for 53 years

I have same problems. About 12 years ago I had 3 laser sessions in one eye and 5 ( the maximum) in the other. I just been told now have bleeding in the one and have to see consultant. I am now worried because I will loose my liscence. I have vintage motorcycle's and another hobby that needs...

Good for you. I found it tremendous after 50+ years on mdi

Yep mine changes regularly even if temperature, health, exercise is unchanged. Sometimes regular tweaking.

I tried it for a while, also tried Dexcom. The Dex is more accurate. But now just do a lot of bg tests. As I see it theres no point unless it is better than 1 mml accuracy

Type 1 is nothing to be ashamed of. I have had it over 50 yes. Wish I could swap with a normal person. All my friends and work colleagues know. A pump is no more offensive than a phone is to use.

I went on a pump last year after 51 yrs. It's really good, more precise. But will not suit everyone

Mine is 6.3 daytime and 6.9 during night. I am often being told my Hba is too low at 45.and to raise it. Don't know why as I am not hypo too much (maybe 2/week).

I have an animas and find it very reliable. Never had a blockage, unlike some others I have read about. Very good support from the rep and animas uk. Hope all is ok and there jobs remain safe.

I have used the libre privately for a while and found it sometimes ok and some were not. The dexcom is better but is expensive. so basically i do not use either now. But I would like to have the libre on prescription even for just occasionall use I am hoping glucowise is ok when it is available

I had been on injections for over 50 yrs mostly in the stomach but also the legs. My stomach had just about had it. Been on a animas vibe now for about 10 months. I have been putting it in my stomach useing inset 30 cannulas which are angled and can last up to 3 days. My stomach lumps have...

if you go high try a slight walk ...it helps a lot

as above, I order online from animas. when I changed from straight canulas to 30 degree sets they even phoned my mobile to ensure I had ordered correctly. Animas are very good.and the pump been excelent.

my pumped humalog works very quickly when in normal range. I rarely pre bolus, only it I am a bit high then oly for 10mins. I found pumping humalog works faster than on mdi. I have been on novo rapid long time ago (mdi) and was changed to humalog and found it to be faster
