Hi I have had similar but with long acting insulin, I felt ill constantly tired even if I had slept well. I was on Lantus to start with sleeping a maximum of 3 hours a night and being constantly ill, then tresbia which started upsetting my stomach, gave me severe leg pain, tiredness and made my...

I’ve been self isolating and social distancing since the 18th March, I’m fortunate that I work in education and I can work from home and still be paid. I’ve made face masks and used those when I’ve gone to the shop, I stay local and avoid people when I’m out walking the dog. I think it’s took...

Hi pump all fitted, it hasn’t yet got the software to link the dexcom to the t slim, two weeks hopefully it’ll be linked. Had a lot of hypos but it’s settling in and I hope it will let me have a full nights sleep tonight as I’m a bit of a zombie on day 5 of broken sleep

Hi thank you so much for your reply, I’m expecting lows my body does the what this and I’ll show you who is in control reaction. I’m on the dexcom g6 and have found a digestive biscuit before bed at the minute has stopped the night alarms. I’m really looking forward to getting it fitted, maybe...

Dexcom G6 and T:Slim X2 user. Insulin Humalog

I will indeed, I am very lucky to have the t slim x2 and the dexcom both supplied by the nhs. I’m loving the dexcom and a bit obsessed with checking my results. I think I’m over thinking how my body will react to the pump but my levels drop so quick, I don’t want my glucose to drop and the alarm...

I’ve been fortunate to pick my own pump I’m having the t slim x2 and have also got the dexcom to work a long-side it. I’m not fitted until Tuesday but I’m equally as nervous as I am excited

It’s been given its CE Mark so depending on which hospitals have taken it. I read some areas have it. I really really want it, I think this could be life changing for me and my allergies to long acting insulin.

I hope Thortons change their diabetic toffee to no added sugar toffee I loved that stuff

What drives me mad about this topic, is after watching Jamie Oliver who had no response for what about diabetics who use sugary drinks to save their lives and stop putting extra pressure on the NHS. All he cared about was the tax on those drinks going to create breakfast clubs for kids at school...

Glaxo sold Luxozade the Ribeana company

the 330ml bottles not the huge ones, bad days i can spend all day hypo. Some times i need two bottles to cure one hypo. Most mornings i have my lucozade and I'm lucky if that's the only one. I've tried everything and I've had enough, no longer have hypo symptoms so that's an extra pain int he bum.

Lucozade is the only thing that brings me back and it has saved my life more times than i can count. Bad months i can go through 6 bottles a day good months it can be 1 or 2 bottles a day. It costs a fortune as it is and i think there should be something so that people with diabetes are not...
