Woop! Get mine *tomorrow*!! :-) :-)

OMG @tim2000s I can't believe no-one's replied to this: I AM SO EXCITED BY THIS!!!! :woot::):D:woot::D:) ..... I am already *ridiculously* excited that I'm getting my pump on Tuesday... and was just a *teeny* bit disappointed that to look at what the CGM is doing I have to look at the actual...

Aggghh... Was thinking about you but didn't want to ask... I am SO impatient so feel your pain...! ;-) ... On the upside not being first means you can learn from everyone else's trial & error... Every cloud n all... :-) :D

I was at the talk and have the book... Looking forward to experimenting with the techniques once I have my pump & cgm:-)

Nope! [emoji2]

6 is my magic, feel good number :-) ... Lower and I start to feel wobbly and anxious, higher and I start to feel that terrible; slow brain and lower mood... At around 6 I notice I feel significantly lighter in my mood and quicker thinking too. So 6ish is my happy place :-)

Oh brill! I'll join this later :)

Ouch! :-( ... Sounds frustrating... And painful...! Hope they can offer a solution for you; know some people use a barrier spray to stop them having a reaction to the cannula tape...? The other reaction I've heard people have is to the Teflon sets, and for them using steel sets work better...

Ah... If I see the post again; or another similar, I'll copy and paste what I read and post it here... :-)

PS .... Loosely, indirectly in amongst the huge relief I have around soon having the pump I'm actually having a bit of a bum day {actually, that's a ridiculous understatement -- an utterly miserable day would be more accurate} so thanks all for being so lovely and funny and making me smile and...

@Flowerpot -- I know!! Never ever imagined I would get excited about getting permanently attached to a piece of technology!! ... Honestly that's the only bit I'm still unsure of... Being a single gal n' all... But -- you all say that the benefits WAY out weigh any of that and so... Excitement it is!

@Celsus -- you really made me laugh too!! To answer your and @Heathenlass q re which insulin I'm going to be using: it's back to novorapid for now... I didn't want to do *anything* that might put them off me having a pump so... We'll see. Actually quite curious cos I think it was the Lantus and...

Lol!! @Heathenless you're funny and making me laugh as always...! Keen to hear how yingtong is doing too... :-) And -- FIVE SLEEPS TO GO!! :-) :-)

This time next week I'll have my new pump!! Not that I'm excited or anything?! That's all... :-D

Flowerpot are you on facebook? I definitely know some people on their have extended their sensors... I couldn't tell you specifically how because I don't have a pump/Cgm yet so it's all slightly 'foreign' to me, but I do know I've seen people with 640gs extend them because I was thinking how...

Woop! So glad to hear how well Smartguard is working... I'm ten days away from getting mine.... [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]

... Clearly it's not just me...!! :D --- I've had all the above too I think; one friend is a nutritionist and asks me *everytime* I see her; 'tell me why they think you're type 1 again...?" -- and I say 'because my GAD antibodies, which is meant to be below 5, came back at 1,800 higher than my...

Last night I had *yet another* frustrating conversation about being diabetic.... Friend (who knows I'm type 1 from previous conversations): when do you get your insulin pump? Me: 10 days time, should be great! Friend: how long have you been diabetic? Me: about two and a half years...

OMG yes!! What's really bizarre is that I don't eat meat so should be a classic target for low B12 -- but mine has consistently hovered around the low 1,000 mark for years! I do take a multi vit with a B-complex in and have spoken to various nutritionists about whether I should stop taking it...

I don't think I remember Atalanta... Will go google :-)
