    Smart Pens

    The pen I got for Lantus cartridges is called the “AllStar pro.”

    Smart Pens

    Hi, The Lantus cartridges will not fit into the Novopens (different arrangement with the attachment to screw the needles to.) To the best of my knowledge. (& I have also looked.) Sanofi do not make smart pens for Lantus. The smart pen thing using Bluetooth is a deal struck up between Abbott...

    Signs of diabetic maculopathy found in recent eye screening

    If it’s any consolation to you. I had “macula oedema” diagnosed a number of years ago. (Now named “diabetic maculopathy.”) I did have treatment as a course of ant VEGF jabs. The outcome for the last 3 years is stable on regular checks with no further need for treatment. & I still have a...

    Hypo unawareness (HU) questionnaires

    What I found over the years using a meter to monitor hypos. Is after an initial test of say 3.6 then treating (my lower field of vision starts flickering around 3.9.) if I test again 10 minutes later? There can be a further drop to 2.6, before a rise? I normally wait 20/25 minutes before testing...

    Hypo unawareness (HU) questionnaires

    Actually… This reminds me a little of the time I took my mum to a “memory clinic” for a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s. They were correct in the assessment. However.. There was a tast with “clip art” images she had to identify? A crown a barrel & a lizard. (Actually, the lizard looked more...

    Hypo unawareness (HU) questionnaires

    Hi, I’m “old skool.” Am I hypo aware. Yep. Have I ever in my 48 year T1 history been “blue lighted.” No. What I know is meters can have a lag suggesting I dropped lower before the rise. The Libre does the same but takes longer to recover on the graph… (up to 45 minutes?) Due to interstitial...

    Type 1'stars R Us

    I’m not sure… But airport scanners might need a wrist exposure (“nothing up my sleeve.”) From now on? Best wishes on recovery.

    Disability At Work Act

    You are wise to be cautious regarding links. Regarding my employment history. I’ve never encountered the issue employees seem to have at Amazon. I’ve had the odd dodgy tummy day in my time. But my employers have always been glad I just showed up… The rest of the day they suggest, “you gotta...

    Disability At Work Act

    On an iPad, it is possible to hold a finger on the link instead of clicking it. Which will provide a “preview.” & further options on what you wish to do with it?

    I can’t see the numbers on the dial

    Hi, Would a cheap pair of off the rack reading glasses help? When I had my eye issues a few years back. I used to use my phone camera as a magnifying glass whilst working in a warehouse with some stupidly small stock labels?

    Mounjaro and insulin

    You can always put your phone in “airplane mode” but switch the Bluetooth back on for the sensor. What I find with sensor readings during lows, (if they are hitting sub 3.5mmol?) is there can be a lag as the interstitial fluid takes time to register the catch up with BG levels rising (& even how...

    Mounjaro and insulin

    OK, Hypos. They can be funny about liquids in hand luggage (Lucozade.) But I’ve had no issue regarding sweets in the bag. Or pockets. I wouldn’t let my insulin out of my sight so I carry it on board. (Be screwed if I lost it.) If you carry a meter? They may swab it for explosives (for...

    Mounjaro and insulin

    OK. Security have seen it all. I personally have never had an issue with needles. If I’m off to a hotter climate? I keep my supplies (including the pen in use.) in a “Frio wallet.” The hotter it gets the cooler it keeps it.? No ice involved. There are different sizes & types to be found online...

    Mounjaro and insulin

    Hi, I may have read your post wrong.. (appologies if I have.) Lantus is a daily injection insulin which works on your background BG levels whilst fasting. Novorapid is injected.(usually prior.) to eating a meal. The dose is dependent on the amount of carbs consumed in that meal. Traveling...

    Strange Libre 2 Graph

    I’ve only seen something like this before, but with lower troughs over a 20 minute period whilst sawing wood? The sensor was on the arm used.. I was also using the xDrip app, but a scan with librelink was similar.. Could you have the sensor probe near muscle tissue?

    Eating guided by bs

    The way I see it when I correct a liver dump as a T1. The BG levels need the insulin to utilise the excess sugar in the blood & “feed” the body but I’m not hungry my self, first thing in the morning. That liver dump for me technically is my “breakfast.” By brunch or lunch. It’s a different...

    Statins on NHS?

    I was offered statins about 10 or 12 years ago? Been told I would be dead soon if I didn’t… (literally.) I have no markers to suggest a problem. Just seems like pressure & horror stories. Not facts from HCPs. The last time my endo approached it like I was still using “Thomas the tank engine”...

    Peripheral Neuropathy Barefoot Shoes

    I don’t have neuropathy. But my wife did gift me some Bagsouni (just looked up the name in the shoe.) sort of like “Crocks.” But not so “clog looking? even the sole breaths… A picture tells a thousand words.

    Medical Exemption - Prescriptions Charge

    I heard it was 10? According to what I read on New scientist & “Tomorrow’ world.” TM tended to cite it as a pump. I got a mobile phone they predicted! Still no pump.
