I’ve recently started on the omnipod and on about my 5th pod. None of the first four I could even feel when the insulin was going in however this one is really stinging, only when I am bolusing. It is closer to my side (on my stomach) than the others as I turned it around so the cannula side...

I am due to start on the omnipod tomorrow. I was just about to take my background insulin tonight (Tresiba) and wondered if I am meant to take it? I haven't been told either way and would presume I would still take it as normal? Tresiba lasts about 3 days so surely this will impact on the pump?

I have my first omnipod clinic tomorrow. Is it worth me taking my other half with me? Didn’t know if people did this and if it’s worth it to get another person’s head around stuff!

Totally off topic but thought I would try on here Does anyone have any unused sun savers codes from the newspaper from 6th October - 19th October. I was trying to collect enough for some bear grylls adventure tickets but I am three short and it ends today! Thanks in advance!

I am moving to Canada in August with my partner on a 2 year working holiday visa. I have done quite a lot of research into diabetic supplies availability and still slightly confused on the insurance/costings. We are planning on moving to the Banff/Canmore area in Alberta and wondered if anyone...

My consultant has told me he thinks I would benefit from a pump and for me to have a look into three to go onto. These are the omnipod, accucheck insight or the Medtronic 640g Does anyone have good/bad experiences of these? I am leaning towards the omnipod due to no tubing. Also how long are...

I have just changed from levemir to Tresiba last week. I was taking 4/5units of Levemir on a morning and 15 units on a night. I now take 13 units of Tresiba on a night only. I was planning on increasing my Tresiba does after 3 days as suggested as I thought 13 wouldn’t be quite enough but did...

I went to Thailand last year and printed out an info sheet about coping with diabetes whilst away - it included translations, contact numbers and guides that were country specific. I could have sworn it was a diabetes uk publication but can't find anything on their website! Does anyone know...

I have had type 1 for 4 years (I'm 26) and have always felt quite in control until lately. I have just returned to the UK from a year in Australia and can't quite get my blood sugars on track. I was having high BG on a morning so upped my background insulin which seems to have helped. However...

I did the dafne course at the end of last year and since then my bg overnight has been pretty much perfect with my background insulin dosage. These past two weeks however when I first wake and test on a morning my bg has risen by approx 3 points. I have already increased my background on a...

Every morning when I wake up my blood sugars are fine, almost exactly what they were when I went to bed. I had 10units of levemir on a night and 5 when I first wake up. I tend to get up around 5-6am most days and don't have breakfast until 10ish. When I go to test at 10 my blood sugars have...

Lately when I am using my novopen to inject levemir I get approximately halfway through 10 units when the end won't press anymore. If I let go of it and then press it again it comes out. Usually after this has happened when I take the needle out some insulin comes back out of my leg and is...

I am soon to be moving near to Northalleton. Does anyone have any experience of what the diabetes nurses/service are like at the hospital? Thanks in advance!
