Hi everyone, Had the tslim x2 a couple of months now and it’s great. I’d really like to be able to see what basal rates control IQ is using so I can see how/if it’s different to the programmed basal rates. I’m expecting it will be. The reason for this is that I need to create a second...

Hi all, My insight pump is getting chopped in due to the recall. The clinic have given me the options of the Medtronic 780g + guardian 4, tandem tslim + dex or possibly the ypsomed looping + dex. I like the sound of the algorithm on the Medtronic as it learns the patterns, but I heard such...

Hi all, I’ve seen a couple of people mention that in addition to long and short acting insulin pens they use intermediate acting insulin to help manage things like dawn phenomenon. Would anyone be able to give me anymore information about this? What insulin do you use? Did the DN recommend...

Hi all, Can anyone help? My pump canulas keep failing and I’ve been running high numbers for the last four days now. The canulas either cause bleeding and just block up or the insulin just sits and pools and doesn’t have any effect, unless I walk, at which point my bg plummets. But as soon as...

Hi all, just after a bit of advice :) i have the insight pump and have been offered the steel canulas. I was given two to trial and I quite liked them, they’re easy to insert, I don’t feel them and they’re quite discreet too. but, I noticed that my levels where running a little high towards...

Hi all, I’m curious about setting my pump up with a looping system but I have a question before I go out n get all the kit. I have the dexcom g6 and the insight pump. I tend to find that I sometimes end up with high bg because the insulin has pooled and only starts properly working when I...

Hi all, I’m just wondering if anyone else experienced dawn phenomenon as almost a seasonal thing? I don’t seem to get it that much during the summer, but now the sunrises are getting later it seems to be kicking back in. Is this a thing? Is it just me? Thanks, Nomi

Hi everyone, hope you’re all well [emoji2] I’m having a bg wobble and have been checking my basal rates etc. Can someone remind me how to check my carb:insulin ratio? I’ve always been 10g:1 unit but find I’m doing lots of corrections. It’s been so long since I last did it I can’t remember...

Hi everyone! I keep starting low carb but fail miserably. When i’m out and about I often end up in the sandwich aisle of the supermarket trying to work out what to get. Usually ending up with a v carby meal deal of some description. I’m a sucker for snacks. Chocolate especially and I find it...

Hi everyone, Hoping I can pick your brains for a possible new insulin pump! My current pump, the accuchek insight, is up for renewal and I don’t know what to do. I like the pump but I have issues with the canulas. It may be me rather than the pump canulas themselves that is the problem so...

hi guys, I’ve been having fun with my infusion sets recently and found i’m having to change them every day or so. On top of that the new box seems to have extra strong adhesive so i’m covered in red welts when I take them off. My stomach is a no go area now for infusion sets whilst it all...

Hi all, I have upgraded to the Dexcom G6 and have 5 untouched G5 sensors left over and no Transmitter. I would prefer to pass them on to someone who would benefit rather than bin them. I’m in East Yorkshire if anyone wants to collect, or can post. If you’re interested, DM me :) Merry...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had experienced any issues with the dexcom G6 giving them inaccurate readings? I’ve upgraded from the G5, but am having tonnes of issues. I put a G6 sensor in on Friday and it was immediately wrong by 5 points. So I calibrated it (3times with 15 min breaks)...

Hi all, I have noticed a rise in my blood sugar in a morning which i’m fairly sure is the dawn phenomenon. Thing is, it seems to move around so over the summer it kicked in about 4am, now it’s darker mornings it seems to kick in about 7am. Is this a thing? Has anyone else experienced this...

Hi guys, So recently I've been told to stop putting my cannulas in my stomach and sides (love handles!) area because the sites have broken down and don't absorb properly. I was wondering what other places people use? I have the insight pump with tubing, but I am happy to stick the cannula...

Hi, My BG has been around 17-20 for the last 24 hours and is now slowly going up, it's at 24.6 at the moment. I keep taking insulin to correct,I haven't eaten carbs since this morning when I had some toast ( thought it was an overnight/morning high and I was expecting it to go down...

Hi, I have the accu chek insight pump and the clip has broken (again...). I like the one the manufacturer provides as it is nice and neat, but they always break in the same place. I was looking at phone cases etc but they're a bit large and I don't want to have to wear a belt. I just want...

Hi all, I'm collecting opinions on the availability of sugar free drinks. I'm diabetic and getting a bit frustrated with mixing everything with Diet Coke on a night out. I want to join in on cocktails and other fun drinks! Please complete my survey, if there is enough interest I'm going to...

Hi all, I'm hoping you might be able to help me out. I've been T1D for 10 years, and on the pump the last two years. I switched to the pump due to rubbish absorption at injection sites. In the last 18 months or so I have really started to struggle with how fast my insulin acts with respect...

Hi guys, I need to do some basal testing to make sure everything is doing what it should and I'm terrible at not eating, I usually graze all day long. Does anyone have any vaguely exciting no carb recipes hidden away? Thanks in advance! Nomi X
