I wonder if anyone had experienced something with a set change issue. What’s happened. About 48 hours into my last Pod, my blood sugar started climbing as if my Basal needs spiked. I hadn’t ate in over 6 hours and saw a sharp spike, promptly corrected and went back to sleep. Two hours later...

Since switching to the Pump I’ve noticed quite a strange side effect to eating Sausages. Between 2.5 to 4.5 hours after eating, even with an Extended Bolus on board I see a sudden sharp spike in Blood Sugar levels (3.0/5.0 mmol/l in the space of about 30mins, more if I don’t have an Extended...

One of the things you hear a lot of with Extended Boluses is "it's trial and error", which I don't dispute there's no way round that. The thing is to determine if something is an error and the cause of that error you have to know what success looks like and that's something, as I refine my...

Since switching to the pump recently, I've found an issue with Fiasp which was present when I was injecting it - but was quite easy to deal with - is now causing me major issues. So when my blood sugar goes above 10 my sensitivity to Insulin drops significantly. The higher it gets the less...

So my Diabetes Team has disappeared off for Christmas, and I'm having an issue with my Pods, so I was wondering if any of you can help. As far as I can tell they won't be back for quite some time (the phone's just ringing off the hook, and my Pump Nurse's out of office says she won't back to the...

Hi, I've only been on a pump for a week so I'm not sure if this is a common issue or not, but it's not one I've experienced using MDI. My Bolus seems to be getting "backed up" when I inject. What do I mean by this? I take the Bolus and about 60% activates (based on the spike I get compared the...

I've seen a lot of people on the Forum talk about getting rid of spoiled or bad Insulin. One thing I've always wondered is what criteria do you use to determine if this is the case? Like I know lack of potency is one thing that a lot of people point to, but with Insulin requirements fluctuating...

So I’m going on the Pump next month. An Omnipod Dash (for a variety convenience reasons). I don’t have the funds for an attached CGM (got a disconnected Libre 2 though). What are things you wish you knew before you started using the Pump? Had my first induction session today, so think I have...

Hi there, I’ve been having some unusual experiences with Fiasp. In June, I found my Fiasp slowing down, due to sudden extreme spikes after meals which, if left uncorrected, would fall back down on their own. This happened consistently with foods with all sorts of GI. Realising the issue, I kept...

So on my second Libre 2 sensor now and one thing that's become clear to me is that whilst the Alarms are useful there are times when they're not. I've set my range quite tight (to account for the continued drop/spike after the alarm is triggered). The thing is the Libre has always been...

Something’s bugged me for awhile and I was wondering if any of you could help. The basal test guidelines seem to preclude the possibility of your Basal being too high. Why’s that? You must have ate no less than six hours ago. You must have also had zero readings below 4.0 in that time...

So I was wondering if anyone could help with this. In the past two weeks, I’ve had two acutely stressful episodes. Not the most stressful events of my life by any stretch, not the most stressful events I’ve been involved with since using Tresiba, but stressful nonetheless. However in the past...

So I had a brain fart and forgot to take my Insulin with dinner last night. My two hours post meal reading made me think I just needed correction. My three hour reading made it abundantly clear I hadn’t take any Insulin with dinner. What’s the rough guidance on what to do in such a situation...

So since starting using Fiasp I've noticed increasingly that its action curve has been flattening. By that I mean, its peak is less and less effective and its tail is more and more effective. The more this happens the harder I'm finding it to match dosage times to my meals. My main technique has...

Hi everyone, I was just wondering what Insulin Absorption was like for folks in different injection sites. I’ve noticed some trends with my different injection sites which go beyond a faster slower absorption. Stomach; Basal: I would never use Fiasp here on the evidence of my Limited Trials...

Hi, I was wondering if any of you could help. I've been having some issues with my Tresiba recently. Some days, I take it and it absolutely hammers my Blood Sugar and I'm going Low after every meal. Other days, it's like there's hardly any there, and I'm having to take 150% doses of Bolus to...
