I carry the day's supplies in my handbag, everything else in my hand luggage. For a long trip or exotic location I split it between my hand baggage and my husband's and carry extra supplies. I am reasonably confident that in France my usual supplies plus a spare set is enough. In places like...

Oh at night, when I wake up. Am I hypo? Is it worth disturbing myself to do a test to find out? Half an hour or so later I tst, and am always hypo, because it's the only reason I ever wake up at night (unless my son wakes me with a nosebleed!)

I find a good breakfast for me is Freekeh or Spelt grains (1/4 of a pack as sold by Merchant Gourmet) mixed with plain yogurt (100-150g) sweetened with something like agave or maple syrup (the wholegrain slows its absorption really well) and topped with fruit. This can take me through a heavy...

Not heard from consultant, but keeping detailed records to show that a basal dose appropriate for overnight makes me hypo, every day, late afternoon...

When I was travelling for university interviews I stopped at McDonald's for tea on the way home.The guy behind me in the queue decided to show off to his girlfriend... by picking on the teenager with a chronic medical condition - nice! After I'd injected he shouted at me that I should me more...

Thanks. Called and left a message for my consultant today looking for clarification. I don't think I meet NICE guidelines, but I do meet some of the other recommendations eg number of injections per day (often 7-8) and my hypo awareness is sometimes a bit lacking! Might the morning high ave...

OMG, he was my doctor in London 20 years ago! Thanks for the link, will see what we can do... it's a catch 22 here... you can't have a pump until you show on a basal bolus regime that you are prepared to put in the work required to make it work. And the way you show this is by making your...

Waste of time then. Last time was told pump available to anyone, now I'm not eligible.

How does your blood sugar cope with that? I'm wondering whether a pump would make long (>1 hour) runs easier to manage too?

Thanks all for replies. Will have a chat to consultant today, but am tempted to give it a try and see how it goes. Would really like an omnipod, but not sure if they will be on offer in my area... IVF wasn't, CGM isn't, so probably won't get the pump I most want either!

No, I don't know what's available here. If it's accuchek that will probably make up my mind in the negative, as, while I love the functionality of the aviva expert I find it horribly unreliable! However, knowing my health authority it will be the oldest, clunkiest,heaviest, and most awkward they...

Hi, after more than 35 years on injections I'm debating going on to a pump. But I feel really squeamish about having something dosing me all the time, and concerned about malfunctions. Also a bit worried about things like how you attach it under dresses, in workout clothes etc, and how you...

As if you couldn't think of this idea yourself, if it would help!!!

Have you been lurking around waiting to promote your product? I'd so, please go the whole hog and tell us where to get it!

If it's peer 100g cooked, I'd say that's it's cooked weight, not raw.

Free version works across platforms too. Testing it out, liking it so far, aiming to get trial version of pro from a challenge to see if I want to up upgrade, as it's quite expensive, but worth it if good...

Doors mysugr store data in the cloud or on your device? I'd love an app I can use from tablet or phone and each would update itself...

Don't know if it would help at all, but just sawa review of an app called Diabetes Companion by mysugr, where a teenager said they found it really motivating. Reviews have it as a really fun app which may help her with motivation...

How do you get MFP to report total carbs? It works out for individual foods for me but only to Urals calories, not carbs...

Like nearly all the other adult type 1 people here, I neglected the condition in my teens. Unlike most I'm well past being in my twenties, in fact I'll be 45 next month. I have minor retinopathy, only detectable on annual retinal photography. No other complications. All teenagers accuse their...
