    Which pump is better

    Hi, I’m on the tandem t:slim x2 and it expires soon. My options is the t:slim again or the minimed 640g. I’m leaning towards the minimed as I have never liked the t:slim in respect of the cartridge holder. It’s terrible to get out and the charger port plastic lid doesn’t close. But I was...

    Low carb eating

    Definitely correcting We think maybe it was the insulin in the pump as I’m doing such low carb I was day 7 without a site/insulin change. Maybe this was why I got the dka. I thought I could just keep going as long as the insulin was in pump till it was gone and change. Oops

    I don’t understand how I count for fat? I only know how to carb count and try to stick to under 50. I was in icu for the dka and my bs were 16 I was at 8 bs readings prior so I do not see how I could have even gotten a ketone level of that high let alone dka And I actually put ok 2 kg that I’d...

Then for no reason I had my first time having ketones , I didn’t really understand what a high level was actually as I just never get them. I felt nauseous and weak I could barely move and I...
