Hi, I've recently requested that my diabetic consultant investigates the possibility of me transferring from the Base Bolus daily insulin injection regimen I've been on for many years, to an insulin pump, as I believe my many injection sites built up over 50 nyears of injecting myself have...

I've been on Base Bolus regime this past 10-15 years at least - started off taking Levemir at bedtimeish and quick acting three times daily before meals - but been on Tresiba the past three years or so instead of Levemir, with no issues whatsoever! I take Novorapid before each meal three times...

Hi I am 79 and finding that my diabetic clinician consultant is not keen on me having a pump instead of four daily injections - I've been T1D since 1971 and on base bolus regimen - Novorapid 6-7units three times daily and Tresiba 9units once at night. Can anyone else comment please as I'm...

My Diabetic clinic specialist doesn't seem too keen to consider me for an insulin pump, despite me currently being on Base Bolus regimen - 6 units Novorapid three times a day and 8 units Tresiba at night - using Libre sensor and Accuchek blood checks, as the two rarely agree anyway lol - and I...

I take 8 units Tresiba 2230hrs daily and 6 units Novorapid before each of 3 meals daily, so not sure what double dose Tresiba would cause - but obviously means monitoring sugar levels more frequently for 24hrs? Keep those sweets handy!

Hi - I would recommend the Accuchek Mobile EVERY time - I have been using one for years now, it's main benefit being that it stores 50 tests from a loadable drum obtainable on prescription. This means NO having to dispose of individual test strips as you go along - the Accuchek does all this for...

That's very low - would have thought you'd have been getting too many hypos at that low? My consultant was reasonably pleased with me when I was in the HbA1C 40's, but when my Libre stats showed a regular low blood sugar pattern at certain times - has re-adjusted my insulin, such that now at 52...

Like heat but only up to 78deg F! (Type 1, Levemir/Novorapid Basal Bolus regime)

I had my 6 monthly visit to the local diabetic clinic and was told my current HBA1c is at 40 (new) and think that's 6.4 mmol/l - so we were all most happy about that! I have been slowly coming down this past three years from 7.1 mmol/l to 6.4 which is very acceptable! I have also been told that...

I certainly feel that the sugar tax could be unfair to we T1 DB's since when I go hypo its a NECESSITY to have some concentrated sugar handy, be it Mars bars, Crunchie Bars or sweet drinks when available, so why should I have to pay more for something which is a LIFELINE for people such as me?

I cannot understand why we even have to consider the NHS in this way, as surely it was always designed to be operated 'by the people for the people' - and the people vote in the government to carry out their wishes, even if it means all this extra money being required to enable that success on...

I occasionally get 'silly' results from my Accuchek Mobile - which in MY opinion is by far the best, having tried most of the others over the years, but they have always been registering too high and NEVER too low, but it usually goes back to expectation after washing my hands as obviously...
