The phone number for Medtronic is 01923205167, they are there 24/7 - switching to the USA customer services at 5pm GMT They have always been of help to me when I have needed them, and it was a lot in the first month & I have since had two free clips for wearing on my pants when I have dropped...

I use a Medtronic Guardian CGM, it does require insertion of a sensor once a week, but I have had a sensor in for as many as 23 days- still getting spot on accurate readings. I only had to change it when I knocked it and it fell out. You do have to calibrate it every 12 hours with a finger...

I have been using the Medtronic Guardian for 5 & a half months. I have a severe short term memory loss problem thanks to brain damage that occurred thru a diabetic coma so I was really difficult for me to learn how to use it. I was in tears more than once. The first two months I was still...

My eye sight was seriously deteriorating, going from 20/20 to myopic is three weeks The only time I wasn't thirsty was when I had water in my mouth- it was summer (diagnosed on August 22nd) and I seriously felt like I was melting. I have several other auto immune diseases, over the years I had...

Maybe things have changed since my licence was revoked- unfortunately. But I did get a letter from the DVLA saying six months.

During the day, on a lower dose of Levemir it was not unusual for me to be in the 20's. I have 9 total autoimmune conditions- with my type 1 not even being the worse of the bunch. Having multiple autoimmune diseases that do not play well together has a major effect on my blood glucose levels. I...

I had a pump, gave it back after it nearly killed me. Not expected to survive, still suffering five years later with the after effects - inc brain damage. My short term memory is virtually non-existent.

I switched from lantus to Levemir a little over 5 years ago, I had been on a pump for a short time in between with disastrous effects. The Levemir gave me security during the night, as - with taking it at 10am it was no longer working by 2am so night time hypos where drastically reduced. At the...

For 9 years I took my full sharps bins to my GPs and got an exchange, Then all of a sudden they said they couldn't do that anymore, I had to make arrangements for the council to collect them every 24 weeks. I had to beg the collections man for enough bins, I needed three but they where only...

I don't see the point in a carb-less Chinese meal, I just count the carbs and adjust my insulin I know how many units I need per 10gms of carbs & how my points one unit of insulin brings my bloods down. After I learned to count carbs, the dietitian probably said one of the worse things anyone...

I have two little Yorkies who have saved my life several - maybe even umpteen times. If I haven't detected a hypo, and am asleep they go for help. They look for a family member, then at the door- back at the person - back at the door until the person takes the hint that something is wrong. If...

Do you know of anyone who actually got their licence back after having it revoked because of loss of awareness with Hypos? I lost my licence ten years ago, a month after my type 1 diagnosis & I miss it every day. Things where really bad in the first 5 or 6 years- multiple hypos- out of my mind...

I have been type 1 for 7 yrs, i have other auto immune diseases that dont play well with the diabetes. I have been on two pumps, the first was the medtronic and the second was the animas made by jonhson & johnson. I was taken off it because i had a hypo during the night, and was still being...
