I’m on the pump waiting list and had my first meeting with the pump nurse today. After discussing my options I need to decide between Medtronic 780g and tandem t:slim x2. I’m leaning towards the t:slim and wondered if those who use either of these pumps could offer advice.

Diagnosed LADA last year after 10 years as T2. For the last 2-3 weeks I’ve been experiencing terrible pains in my feet and hands. It started off as pins and needles but it’s getting worse. Hba1c is normal and DNS doesn’t think it’s neuropathy so I went to GP who then told me she does think its...

I'm type 2 and currently taking victoza, metformin and gliclazide but I'm getting started on insulin next week. I had been lowering my carb intake but the last week the nausea from the victoza has been pretty bad so I was eating porridge and bread as I've found I don't get as nauseous with plain...

I've just been told today I've to start on Victoza. I'm type 2 and up until last summer I've had my diabetes well under control, even managing to come off my tablets for two years after losing 3 stone. My sugars started creeping up again though and I was put back on metformin 2 years ago...
