Have put my first dexcom one on this morning. it is currently warming up. I am hoping for great things. Libre 2 has been a disaster. They keep replacing sensors but not sorting the problems Will update as things progress

Hello Tin-Owl I was in a similar position to you prior to going onto a pump. I was on 3 units of basal at that that time and going low most nights despite having a snack. The team locally were of the opinion that a pump would be beneficial for me. For me it certainly did sort the problem. No...

Good plan. I would agree there is a lot to carry around with you. I always carry pens and a spare pod & vial of insulin

Hi Richard F I am also an Omnipod user. Not sure I can be of any help. I have not experienced many failures in the 2 years. Three or four I think. I cannot remember the errors codes only the screamimg pods. It is very frustrating when technology fails. Hope you do not experience any more...

I had to contact Abbot today as my phone was alarming signal loss. This went on between 09.00 till 12.15. After all the usual questions Abbot are replacing the sensor. They do not want the faulty sensor returned and if the same happens with the sensor I am now now using they will replace it as...

Same issues here. It seems to have happened after they updated the app.

I am pleased that you have succeeded in getting moved to Dexcom One. I have been working on this for some time. It does seem to be getting closer. They are currently working on getting Dexcom One added to the local formulary. I look forward to hearing how things go with the change. Libre 2 is...

Hi Vix85 I too have had similar experience. It does seem worse recently. Not sure if the changes made to Libre view have anything to do with it. I am currentry speaking with the DSN Team locally about moving Dexcom One.

Like In response, I have included my pump on my house insurance. No other costs I can think of

Hi Bluemarinejosephine I use the Omnipod Dash. I had the Medtronic 670 for a short while before this but due to arthritis in my hands I found the filling and changing the reservoir very difficult to do. I must stress that this was due my arthritis and not the pump. The questions from In...

Hi CavJ. Sorry to hear your news. I also have colitis and Type 1 diabetes. Prior to my Type 1 diagnosis I was treated as Type 2 and was given metformim. I experienced significant side affects and metformin was discontinued. I stress this was my experience and it is not to say you would be...

That is the system here in Scotland. You do need to register to get access etc. Quite easy to access. Get in touch if you have any issues

Hi Tony Noble, I have also experienced similar issues. Sometimes it just doesn’t upload data. Seems to happen more often if I try to download data in the evenin, not sure if there is a reason for this. I have also spoken with diasend and they told me it was a known problem. They encouraged me to...

Hi Carl W I use Skin Tac to keep my Libre in place. For me it really works well. I get it from Amazon

Hi Ann48 & Vicky19 You are not alone in experiencing issues with Libre 2. I have frequently experienced the ones you describe as well others. I am told by the Pump Team locally we are not alone. Hope you get things sorted soon

That is great that you have got rid of Ketones. As EllieM said check your sick day rules. I would also keep an check on your sugars to check that you do not go low. It is not easy to balance everything out. It is hard work and time consuming.
