Hi cumbria-pumper I am in similar situation to yourself. I think you can still upload data from other sources to Diasend such as the Omnipod and it is just Libre that you can no longer download into Diasend. Does the data from the Libre not go directly into Libre view ? I know that means data...

Hi Antje77 Enjoy your carb yummies. I will be keen to hear how things go. This insulin has been suggested to me, the only issue highlighted was the insulin blocking my pump. I use the Omnipod Good luck

Hi sreid95 I have been experiencing similar issues with Libre 2. They are now sending me 3 replacement sensors and a replacement reader. Hope you get things sorted soon. Roll on Libre 3

I moved to Libre 2 about a month ago. First two sensors worked well and were more accurate than Libre 1. Unfortunately I had one fail overnite, it alarmed 3 times saying low, finger prick showed that was not the case. I eventually got through to Abbot after numerous attempts and they agreed...

Hi Jessica I am sorry to hear about the problems you have had with the Omnipod Dash. Being disturbed at night is no fun especially when you have young children. I changed from the Medtronic Pump to the Omnipod Dash in February this year. I have had 3 pods fail, but not in the same way as...

Thanks for the information. Have signed up for the free trial. Looking forward to seeing how it differs from Libre, hopefully more accurate Thanks again

Diagnosed T1 over a year ago based on raised AntiGad levels. I have 3 other autoimmune conditions Hypothyroidism, Colitis and Acute inflammatory arthritis

Good Morning. Sorry to hear of the issues your wife is experiencing. I am on both methotrexate and insulin. There maybe some other reason for the guidance the Doctor has given. Is she on any other medication ? If she is on steroids that may be resulting in high blood sugars. Hope things...

Morning Mainsail Happy to be some help. I totally agree about being able to do things for your self. I had to get friends help me fill the reservoir on the Medtronic pump. I wonder if your Pump Team could give you some longer needles to use to draw up the insulin. You would probably have...

Hi Mainsail. I moved onto the Omnipod Dash on Monday. I changed as I was finding the set changes on the Medtronic very difficult due to arthritis in my hands. So far I have changed the pod twice and have found it much easier. Not sure if I can be much help. Regarding drawing up insulin the...

Just wanted to provide an update. I was given the opportunity to try the Omnipod Dash and found it much easier for me. I changed onto the Omnipod Dash this afternoon, now just have to learn how to use it. Thanks for all your suggestions.

Good Morning Elenaki I have been experiencing similar problems to the ones you describe due to arthritic hands. I started with a Medtronic pump in Sept 2020 and set changes are very difficult. I have now tried the Omnipod and I can manage to do it on my own. I am awaiting training to allow...

Hi MatthewB-CYM I use SKIN TAC wipes to help my libre stay in place. Works well for me. They make the area really sticky Good luck h884

Hi kaylz91 I in with NHS Grampian and have not heard anything about Libre 2 as yet h884

Everyone in my health board area was changed to the glucomen areo 2k if they changed to freestyle libre. I have not found it a very good meter. It is heavy on batteries (approximately every 4 weeks). When the batteries are going low you need to set the date and time every time you use it. I only...

Hi Asa35 Unfortunately I do not have the cgm. I wanted to get used the pump before looking into this. I obviously need to overcome the challenges I am having with set changes. I will be interested to hear what you decide. Good luck

Hi Asa35 I have recently started on the Medtronic 670g, my first pump. I find it easy to use and it has made a big difference to, for example, my time in target and night times lows. The only issue I have is challenges when doing set changes. This is due to arthritis in my hands. I am...

I use skintac wipes to help keep the sensor in place. You can get them various places such Diabetes Supply and Amazon. Hope this helps

Hi Folks Thanks very much for your replies, I use the mio advance infusion sets, they are easy to use. No issues there. It is filling the reservoirs and connecting the tubing that is an issue. I live on my own, I have various friends that could help. I already get their help opening bottles...

Thank you Hopeful34, Thanks very much for this. I did wonder about using these precautions. Thanks again h884
