I had a lot of pod fails for 6 weeks but since I was advised by another podder, to pinch the area up, but push down on the clear cannula end when inserting cannula it's really good. It works for me anyway but might not for others. Like not having tube and good PDM. customer service is also good...

I just been speaking with libre support about inaccuracy. They keep telling me to allow 10-15 after bg tests. Yet according to there own website it says 2.4 minutes. I told them this lot's of times. You can't have both. They are sending me a reader and sensor. They previously sent a neo meter...

Sorry to say this, but since the pandemic things have may have taken it's toll. Seeing a gp doesn't seem to happen, just a phone call if your lucky. DSN appointments don't happen. I don't think it ever will again. Surely they are all being paid still. Might as well just ask google. Will...

I am very pleased to announce I now have an Animas pump. After 1 day on it I am so happy. I know it is early day's but the first meal I had it was so simple to bolus. Some of the thoughts I have had like how to carry it or sleep with it is now easy. I cannot feel the canular(steel one). Was...

Hi all thanks for reading I have been type 1 for 50years. My injection sites went bad and eventually was put on Toujeo + humalog. I work 3 or 4 days a week. When I was on Levimer I found it better to increase my non working day's dose from 16 units to 20 units for good control. DAFNE graduate...
