    Weight loss Type 1

    Hi @Emily[emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]]][emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]] my main take on your post would be that actually you are not eating enough calories. If that amount is your daily intake then your body will think it is being starved and go into a sort...

    Type 1'stars R Us

    I have just tried to reply to you Tony using the website as numbers do not work on the forum. I have lost the will. It then lost everything. So here goes with words Six units of Tresiba the vial I change after three weeks as it loses efficacy. Fiasp I get through a Three hundred unit pen in...

    Novorapid frustration

    Rob it is interesting when you say your Levemir lasts five weeks. My Tresiba would last at least that long and it does say on the packet it will be good for six weeks. However, as time went on I realised, yes it keeps working, but a lot less efficiently. I was injecting lots of Fiasp to correct...

    Libre 2 Plus sensors not lasting 15 days on a regular basis

    So far so good. All lasted the full time. Been on them nearly a year now.

    Novorapid frustration

    Hi Rob. Whenever I have ridiculous unexplained results I change the insulin vial. Just had to do the same with my Tresiba. After two days of banging my head against the wall I realised it was losing its efficacy. A couple of days into the new vial normal service resumed.

    Alternative to humalog

    @Lakeslover I use my I pad and go direct into the forum app I downloaded when I first joined.

    Alternative to humalog

    It does this via the forum rather than web site. Hugely irritating! As I prefer to use the forum I get round it by just typing out the numbers in word form. For yourself posting dosages it may be easier to log on via the actual website to save time and make it clearer.

    Cgm sensor skin issues

    When I had a very bad problem about four years ago the hospital recommended Cavillon spray. Worked immediately. Just be careful where you are when spraying as it’s like plastic and doesn’t come off. Still have spots on my bathroom mirror. I know longer have an issue. Touch wood!

    Unexpected Appointment

    Well, all went well. A really lovely man. Very supportive and complimentary. Young and enthusiastic. Basically told me to just continue doing what I’m doing as results are excellent. Did find out my HbA[emoji637]c when diagnosed. One hundred and ten. No wonder I felt ill.

    Unexpected Appointment

    Not been yet Tony. It’s this morning. Will let you know. He sounded great and very up to date on the phone last year. I was in clinic to do a trial earlier this year and the nurse said he was lovely.

    Unexpected Appointment

    Pretty happy, I was due a face to face appointment with my new consultant. He’d asked when doing a phone appointment last May if I could go in next time so he could meet me. Very nice. Anyway the appointment was overdue but not urgent. The phone rings yesterday lunchtime, it was the clinic on...

    GP appt - need advice please

    @Maggie75 @Melgar is correct with his stab in the dark. Our levels do fluctuate throughout the day. As a Type one on insulin I need a much bigger ratio of insulin to food in the morning than later in the day. It is very common for us to have different ratios for different meals. From your point...

    Rant about diabetes review/ GP surgery madness

    @Daibell Your post is so correct. We have to be proactive and in charge of our own health. And also be prepared to jump through humps sometimes without getting uptight about it. At the end of the day as a Type one I am getting so much for free that quite frankly I don’t know what I’d do if that...

    explaining what it's really like to live with Type 1

    @Prancy in the UK to get a pump requires certain criteria. Even if you managed to jump through the many hoops there can then be a waiting list. I have awful problems with steep numbers in the morning. But am not having lots of hypos and my HbA[emoji637]c is good. So chances of a pump are slim to...

    New I Phone seventeen

    @Ushthetaff I didn’t want to go too big either. So resisted the max. I carry mine in a bum bag so don’t have the pocket problem, though it fits well in a cardigan when hanging out the washing and my dressing gown. I have actually surprised myself as I love the bigger screen. It is so fast too...

    Libre 2 readings are shockingly inaccurate

    I for one would be furious to lose this product. It has its quirks, as said, the first day particularly. I always put on a day ahead which helps. But for me it is pretty accurate and as someone who has tested along side meters at the same time they don’t match either. People seem to think blood...
