Hi all, I've been on the Minimed 640g since last November, so just over a year now. After doing some reading I believe that I have lipohypertrophy in my right thigh (no delivery, can't feel the needle being inserted when changing sets, bent cannulas etc). I stopped using my thigh a very long...

Hello, I lost my Contour Next Link 2.4 meter a few months ago and have been using my Accu-Chek Mobile ever since. I went over to the diabetes clinic yesterday to ask for a new Contour meter, as I want to get the results sent to my Medtronic 640g pump as I feel it'll be more beneficial...

Hello, I'm really looking for some help as I am running out of ideas. I've been on my pump (Medtronic 640g) since November, and I've had a really really bad few days. Please bare with me as this is a very long post (and I'm feeling very emotional and fed up about this all so please be kind!). I...

Hello, I'm looking for some help. I've been on my pump since about 5pm and just tested my BG - it was 2.7. I treated the hypo and suspended the bolus. When should I resume the bolus? The pump is showing 5.7 units still acting. Thank you in advance.

Hello, Not sure if this is in the correct section of the forum but I've done a search of the forum for similar questions and had no results, so here goes! I'm receiving a pump next week and have recently started looking into moving to Dubai to work (I'm a teacher). It is very very early days so...

Hello, In my appointment with my consultant this morning she wanted me to begin splitting my Lantus dose (currently on 20 units at 10.30pm). Can I just check what this means? It was explained but I've forgotten as it was discussed amongst lots of other things. Should I take half the dose at...

Hello, I've just arrived home from my appointment with the lady who is responsible for insulin pumps at my diabetes centre (after waiting almost 2 hours to go in! But hey ho). My current Hba1c is 10.3 m/mol (89 in mg/dL) and she told me to come back at the start of July to get it retested, where...

Hello, I sent my driving license off to the DVLA along with the numerous form as I have a 3 year license that expires next month (because I'm T1) . I sent it off about 10 days ago and am worried that I haven't heard or received anything. How long has everybody else had to wait to get their...

Hello, Until Saturday I had no interest in insulin pumps...I was actually so ignorant and oblivious that I thought you had to have an operation to insert the needle into your abdomen and it stayed there forever! However, having spent hours on Saturday talking to a lady with one, who actually...
