Hi there, is anyone replacing their insulin pump in 2021 through nhs funding? If so did you hear anything from your clinic about post brexit arrangements, if funding is gonna change or if deliveries are going to be delayed? Question 2 is what are the chances that someone can loose insulin pump...

no it comes from NHS fortunately for me :)

Unfortunately appears that xcom is not able to work with medtronic for the moment. I read couple of articles that Fitbit will work closely with Medtronic to sort out some feature that enables you to view your CGM on your smartwatch but for the moment nothing interesting has happened :(

Guys as per subject of the thread - I have a medtronic enlite sensors :)

Thanks for that, but how do I connect my sensor with xdrip?

Hello Dear Community, I was made aware recently that I am able to project my CGM readings on my fitbit device. From what I read I need Glance face on my fitbit (check) and an app called xdrip (installed now). Could someone send me a guide or explain me like I'm 5 how to connect xdrip to my CGM...

My question more relates to the statement of my doctors saying my basal rate should be as even as possible throughout the day cycle rather than having jumps between 0.5 or more units per hour. Basal rate is just for my reference to check that statement :)

Hi guys, T1 here. I have a question about your basal rates - would anyone of you insulin pumpers would be able to share with me your sample basal rate per 24h so I can compare it with mine? I've heard that it's better off to have even basal throughout the day (i.e. 8am 1u 9am 0.9u 10am 0.8...

Hello there, I have a general question. I am soon having an interview at US embassy for tourist visa in London and I was wondering about security measures and my insulin pump. Did any of you have any experience with going there with insulin pump? Do I need any medical certificates and...

1) Firstly I go to GP and register in their facility as I understand. OK but when should I do it - after I will get my NIN number and my first job or for example as soon as I will move to UK or should I do it even sooner? I will have some supplies with me when I'll arrive for about 3 months.
