    GEO being used for many things does not excuse disability discrimination, Stopping a user from reloading CGM software is the equivalent of a wheelchair manufacturer finding a way of preventing a UK holiday maker from repairing a puncture in the chair tyre until after they return to the UK. The...

    Type 1 Diabetic, CBD oil, thumbs up.

    Have given CBD oil a try. I’m pleased with the results so far. Been using for 2 weeks now, twice a day (Morning and Before bed). For me It has lowered my BC levels to the point I’ve been able to make a small reduction in my insulin intake (I’m assuming CBD reduces inflammation which in turn...

    Have you ever lied about having T1D...?

    Novopen 6. where to buy one.

    Just had a reply from Nordisk, The Novopen 6 is not available anywhere in the world. In other words (unless they are supplying customers on the Moon or Mars) they were lying when they put out a press release saying it was going to be available from 1st qtr 2019.
