Morning Emck How are things with you this morning ? I did not experience ketones any higher than 0.1. Perhaps 111 could give you some advice I do hope your sugars are now more under control and ketones have disappeared

Hi Emck Based on my own previous experiences it may last for a while yet. I had an intramuscular steroid injection some 7 weeks ago and the effects are still there. I have a pump and with the help of the team here I have increased my basal rate by 25%. For a few weeks I was also adding 10 to...

Hi missamywebster. Unfortunately this is not unusual. This has happened to me on various occasions. I had one fail yesterday, the cannula was bent, 3 weeks ago I had 2 fail on one day for the same reason. I use skintac which I get from Amazon to keep sensors in place for 14 days. Sorry you...

Hi @billyerskine I am an Omnipod user. I have been using it for 18 months. Apart from a short time on the Medtronic pump the Omnipod is the only pump I can comment on. It took some time to get used to pump. At least that is a stage you do not have to go through. The Omnipod for me I have...

Thanks. Pleased your GP could help with your insulin. As you say worrying none the less If I do get not sensors from the chemist tomorrow I will contact the Pump team and see if they can help

I sincerely hope that Libre 3 is more accurate and reliable than Libre 2 when it arrives. In addition Abbott have a lot to learn about customer service. I have been waiting 7 days for 2 replacement sensors and have just been told that due to the large number of orders it will be another 7...

Hi Annevl Sorry to hear about the issues you are having with Libre 2. Unfortunately it is not impossible that you have had 2 sensors which are inaccurate. I had 2 fail just yesterday. It is worth remembering that there is about a ten minute lag between blood glucose and the Libre reading. I...

I would agree. I have had 2 sensors fails today. I have lost count of the number of sensors I have had replaced. I am very cautious when dosing on the basis of Libre 2 readings. I sincerely hope things improve

Hi Soplewis12 I have been using the Omnipod Dash since Feb 2021. I have had to make a lot of changes since going onto the pump although not as many as yourself. My basal rate has doubled. My experience of pens is limited. The changes I had to make were mainly due to me being on a variety of...

Hi Ann48 No problems. I was lucky that my phone was still under warranty. Like yours mine just stopped working. I have found Libre 2 sensors a bit of a lottery with a large number needing to be replaced. I have a clinic appt tomorrow, there will be considerable gaps in the data they have. I...

Hi Ann I experienced the same problem last week. Initially I was passed back and forth between Abbott and Apple. I was told there was recognised problem with this which they were working to resolve. I was guided to use the reader instead. I then went into the local store Apple store locally...

Hi Mazzi724 I also experience similar problems. The highs following changing a pod I manage by using a temporary increase to my basal rate. The pump team locally also suggested changing before a meal so that you bolus shortly after changing. These strategies have helped me. The Omnipod was my...

Unfortunately this does not work on iPhones. It would be good if did Thanks for the info

Hi cdpm I use skin tac wipes which I get on Amazon. They work well for me Good luck

Welcome Donsman. Another Aberdonian here

Hi Andy I was diagnosed Type 1 about 2 1/2 years ago. I am also on thyroxine, have been since childhood. I am also a multi layer person.Will be interesting to hear if anyone is experiencing this

I had my 4th jab about 2 months ago. I was offered this as I am immune compromised ( not due to diabetes or being a pump user ) and had to shield during the lockdown. I live north of the border and the immune compromised group were offered 4th jabs earlier than across the border

Hi Heather . I have been using the Omnipod dash for over a year now and also experience similar issues. I do not have any other suggestions to make. I have tried them and they do help. Good luck

Hi heather. I too experience this problem. When I asked for advice from the pump team here I was guided to increase my basal rate by 30% for a couple of hours before changing my pod. The other suggestion was change my pod just before giving a bonus. They had found this helps insulin to be...

Morning Beepie. I experience this was well. My way of resolving it is to switch my phone off and then on again. For me that seems to sort things out. It is s recurring problem though. Good luck
