Just had an appointment letter to say my accu chek pump is to be upgraded to the insight. Would welcome any advice

Just been to clinic and my Libre was spot on with its prediction of my HBA1c. I've found that so long as I keep well hydrated it reads very similar to my accu chek meter, it tends to deviate at higher or lower readings. OK I've still got more work to do to bring it down to the level I'd really...

Just heard from the GP that my duodenal biopsies are positive for coeliac disease. I know that this isn't the end of the world and loads of people have greater issues/problems than this but just been to the supermarket and have ended up feeling sorry for myself. Think I need a kick up the butt...

My son was diagnosed with coeliac disease back in February and as a family we were advised to have the blood test to check if we had it too. My blood test has shown a high TTG level so will now need to have an OGD to confirm. Can anyone tell me how going gluten free will affect my control...

At the moment I would do anything not to have to test, adjust, be hypo, hyper, basically just have a few days where I could just be me. Not sure what I'd give up or do to achieve this. Wouldn't mind never eating chocolate ever again but couldn't give up my glass or two of wine a week. Sent...

Just wondered if anyone has any experience of this system? Got just under a year with my accu check combo (which I love) and thought I'd see what else is out there now. I have been thinking of self funding a cgm, work shifts and think it will help the monitoring side of things. Does the cellnovo...

Sorry for the long explanation but it sets the scence!! Just got back from my first trip abroad with Horace (the pump) was travelling by myself so slightly anxious. Horace is an accu chek combo. At Stansted did the right thing at security told the girl supervising the loading of the trays where...

Just had my three month pump clinic appointment and my Hb1Ac is the lowest its been since 1991. Ok its still 7.8% but it was 9% in feb and had been higher than that at times. I know i've still got loads of work to do to reach perfection (is that possible with D!) but i am really chuffed. Just...

Well one month since i started my pump and already i'm feeling better, no real big swings and only a few hypos. Had my first clinic appointment yesterday and my Hb1AC is down from 9% to 8%, hasn't been that low for over five years! Horace (the pump) is wonderful!! Sorry this isn't really a...
