Hi I started with a pump 4 weeks ago and on the second and third week I had a sensor fitted which monitors you levels every 5 mins for a week. The hospital can then down load the data from the sensor and can see how your levels are for the week, how your insulin is working (or not) after you...

Hello I am new to carb counting and was wondering what other people used to count carbs rather than carrying the carb & cal book about with them. I travel a bit with work and am trying to reduce the amount of stuff I am carrying around. I have looked at a few different I phone apps and kindle...
