@rochari not to be a kill joy here BUT why did you only take the bare essentials with you for your insulin supplies? I always take at least twice as much as I need when I go on hols!

Why not??? You only have a few weeks supply left. I placed an order on Tuesday last week with well over a months supply left. Also ordered the Mio Advanced, which I now love :) @Razzamuffin you know I am going to ask on why the NHS are partially responsible for your diagnosis.

I still find insulin works best for me ;) The NHS is amazing. I don't know where you get it is bad from?? We do not have to pay for anything with our type 1 diabetes

Hi @Diabeticger Yep, its a phase....And yes it will pass. I can guarantee EVERY type 1 on this forum has gone through it. Its a 24/7/365 thing with no holidays or rest from it. I was diagnosed 49 years ago and been thru the hoop a few times with it. I will NOT let it beat me......I am in...

@Razzamuffin https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/back-in-the-day.170692/ take a look :)

Afternoon all.....just catching up on the weekends antics in here! @Razzamuffin there is a thread on here somewhere (I will look for it now) that has pics of the old bits and bobs we used to use "back in the day" it will shock you

MMMMmmmmmm COOKIES

Woohoo, well done @Nometype1andproud doesn't the pump make life a lot easier? AND winning at guesstimating carb content

No, just gotta get up and pee before accidents and new bedding is required :)

Afternoon all @Razzamuffin I was diagnosed at 4 1/2 years old, so diabetes is all I have ever known. I guess I am used to it, still hate it every now and again mind. As Juicy has said you are doing really well with it so far....keep that up :) @Juicyj and @MeiChanski Worcs isnt that far...

A visit to Lidl this weekend it is then

In my eyes a reversal of diabetes means no longer diabetic?? @Jim Lahey do you still class yourself as diabetic? John, you are still diabetic on your own admittance. I am diabetic for life with no chance of reversal. I have to take insulin to live, without it I die! And there lies the difference!

Fingers crossed they can come up with a solution for you

@Sattiva have you phoned Medtronic and asked them if they have any solutions for this itch you have

Ah right, sorry, I mis understood you. And now rereading you first thread I can see..... oooops! In that case you may be allergic to the sensor or the chemicals on the sensor? Does the itch go away or does it stay for the full 7 days it is on, I presume you are on the Guardian 3 sensor

Difference in what??

Hi @Sattiva and welcome to the forum. Yes, we hear a fair bit with itching with the infusion sets. A fair few people are allergic to the teflon canula. I know @Juicyj had an issue with the teflon canulas and now uses the sureT(?) metal canulas, she will be along shortly and will explain

Haha good idea Robs :) Now I just log off for an hour or so

So, technically, still has diabetes just that his treatment is the way he eats!?

Just about good morning.... @Razzamuffin welcome to the best thread on the forum. Not going to repeat what everyone has already said about the honeymoon period BUT..................................:) @Coopsy91 WOW what a job. What is it that you do on board??
