I stay away from diabectic meals after been given a diabectic meak back in the late 80's when on my flight out I mention to the flight crew I was diabectic in case something went wrong (was travelling alone). On my return journey given a special diabectic meal (becasue the crew on the flight...

Had a call from the hospital consultant today to go through my test results which were done after the appoint as I attened a late cancellation appointment - I actually already knew the results as a GP nurse called me about some things (and she was very pleased with the HBA1C result) last week...

Before covid always used Insure and Go - most times got annual insurance for about the £140 for just me. This time needed to use Allclear as partner on a waitlist for a hip so pretty sure it will not happen before our planned trip wanted to make sure we were covered. The price without the...

No issues execpt small injections with a pen is very strange.

I'm with you on vials & syringes. I did change from Lantus to Tresiba so had to go onto a pen but at least I know from my experience I will not go that way for my short acting as it will not work for me. Hopefully it is just a manufacture issue than moving away from vials.

@Soplewis12 It is this basal I need in half units as sure this is my issue but the consultant has said no. Fi-Asp I get in vials so have a half unit syringe so no issues there.

@EllieM I will ask again re Dexcom (as yes aware the guidelines have changed or about to change) and pump but everytime in the past when I just ask the reply is often no try this (which often I have already tried) but I only seem to get a yes when I present concrete evidence which is what I...

Hi Soplewis yes I normally do have a snack when I checkimg my levels are dropping but yesterday I had fallen asleep so wasn't awake. In regard to another CGM I am hopefully with the new NICE guidance that I may be able to get the dexcom but I will need to prepare lots of results and all the...

Hi Stewm On a previous thread I did explain the issue which happens most days and I think you mauy have replied to that one but here is an example: Short - FiAsp Long - Tresebia Ate lunch at 12 noon (my normal time) at lunch - 6.1 at 3pm - 11.5 at 4pm - 8.1 at 5.12pm - 6.9 so 5 hours after...

Woke as normal 6am Had breakfast Arrived at supermarket by 7am Finished a bit later at the supermarket than normal due to only 1 check out and there seem to be a lot more people shopping - even the self check-out had queues. Read paper - then decided to do a big thorough tidy & clean of bedroom...

Sorry to hear of your frozen shoulder - a too currently have a frozen shoulder but quite mild (Still got movement just no high reach with little pain so can function day to day) so only doing exercise and occassionaly taking the odd pill when pain and sleep are geting a major issue. The doctor...

Agree Libre is a great tool but for me and after a long conversation with Abbott was told to stop using as it didn't work correctly for me so I was scanning but still doing the same number of fingers pricks as there were so different and couldn't trust the Libre as the Libre reported lower so...

I know this doesn't answer your question but T1 been asked to do jury service twice once down south and once in the north - both times when I have mention T1 they have said no thank you we will remove you from the list - to be honest I was disppointed both times and thought surely all T1 can't...

@Soplewis12 the reason why fasting is done is that you don't get any distortion with protein you may eat. Even for T1 that eat low carb still inject (but a lot less) for the protein eaten. Also on the DAFNE course told not to count carbs in veg (I didn't agree with this comment) but later...

@thewestiesmum I am aware you have struggles and issues so would tread carefully re the basal tesing as I am not 100% sure they provide the full answer for everyone, as my requirement in the monring, lunch and dinner are completly different so think a 24 hour basal test or even the 6 hour slots...

Hi Mark No I don't have private cover so can't really answer your questions but also note if I did have cover what was in the terms and conditions at the time of signing up may no longer be the terms & conditions of the policy now. You are going to have the direct these questions to the...

Yes that is a largest drop - as I mention in my first reply I also did the same injected bolus (then I was on Humalog) instead of basal (then I was on Lantus) but I fortunately was aware after the injection what I had done so ate to counter this injection - is there something you can change so...

Yes given too much but never had a seizure and sorry to hear this happen to you - do you know why you injected too much? In my situation it was after injecting bolus instead of basal insulin it suddendly dawns on you that you given the wrong insulin before bed so you start eating food and this...

Once I got of posting I had a look at the sprit health website and it says they are free (test solution) but not sure if you would still incurr postage as didn't look any further, As others suggested give them a call. Re the suggestion of getting a friend or relative - I would be cautious on...

You can if you want but have you tried a test soultion - I don't use the Tee 2 but aware many T2 like it due to the lesser cost for strips but for all the meters I have used I have been able to get a test solution from the manufacture to test the meter is working correctly. This was always been...
