Hi all, Recently my cat has decided on joining the diabetic club. I have tonnes of leftover freestyle lite strips from my Omnipod before I went dash. Does anyone know where to get a Freestyle Lite meter that I could buy as it seems hard to buy one as they seem to have stopped making them? I...

Is there any news on the closed loop and DASH situation? Of course Tidepool are are still doing theirs and I believe Insulet are doing their own but they will bound to be limited trials or US only when out. What happened to the we are not waiting approach, it looks like Tidepool still use that...

Hi All, I have now received my DASH, I was considering adding onto the last topic about the DASH but I decided to start fresh as this is more about the actual handset rather than availability. My favourite improvement is the ability to turn off all beeps apart from the hazard (pod fail...

I have just had my results back, and I felt like sharing because its this forum that enlightened me, the weekend after coming home. Its my first HBa1c after my two year diaversary (which I missed/ forgot). Two years ago I felt a little lost, sent home with minimal information and I was a little...

Bread to me is my kryptonite, it seems to be one of the only carbs I crave (naan is all time fave, but never been a success yet), and yet also the only carb I just can't get a handle on. I very rarely have it, and when I do it is often the burgen soya and linseed at a respectable 11g a slice...

Hey Everyone, It's been a while since my last appearance, apologies. I am not too sure what I am aiming about in my post but as there is significantly less information on XDrip and iOS I thought I would update everyone how it is going. So I read about XDrip on iOS (not XDrip+ sadly) and...

I haven't had any major problems with my treatment really, other than my varying sensitivity levels but tonight I am having a pickle. SO I thought I would come to the place where these things are solved. I am sat at 10.2mmol and have been since 7:30pm, I don't do well when my numbers are past...

Hey All, Just received a new transmitter and after updating my phone for a while when I reconnected all my missing readings appeared on my app. Its not a one off, been away from my phone for a while today and every reading is there. I have heard about this (G5 + transmitter?) but nothing...

Hello all, I have had my basal needs reduced the last few days, pretty much on -50 all day otherwise I end up dropping. Today I have woken up with a slightly cold. Nothing major but looking around the forum and a bit of google it should definitely be the opposite. My only assumption is that my...

I have been waiting on this one, Sugarmate was US only until the other day. If you have a Dexcom g5 you set the share to one of the followers and thats it. The app itself is rather good (see screenshot - and don't worry about the numbers the Dexcom sensor has been on its last legs the last few...

So I have been browsing both here and the web and I keep getting thrown to which rotation plan to use. So I thought I would ask for a consensus. You don't have to be Omnipod veterans. Background is I am squeamish to try new sites (wimp when it comes to all things medical to be honest). My legs...

So I have been officially a T1 for a whole year now! I only just realised after I posted in another post and saw my own signature! Feel like I have missed out on a celebration :( Starting year 2 with all the tools and hopefully even more knowledge :) Does anyone else do something on their...

Had my Omnipod a day now, wow, a whole 24 hours without a single jab! Fantastic. Loving it, easy to use and straight on the insulin. Having to ween myself off the Tresiba at the moment, got a few more hours until I should be on total control (I dropped it the night before the pump). Some of...

Hello All. I have been quite absent due to busy schedule (I occasionally pop on to have a look through the odd post so not totally absent) and just thought I would say hi again and give you my recent news and updates with Christmas coming up. Best news is all the courses done, i's dotted and...

I just had an email stating that One Drop is now available for Android! If anyone is looking for a good app to log carbs, exercise, medication, HBA1C and of course BG this is a solid app. It is also free with no ads (well not on iOS anyway I cant check this version out but I am confident it...

Potentially a other one of those holy grails (just like those ever occuring battery developments) But interesting nonetheless Diabetes and Needles: Relief May Be On The Way - Healthline https://apple.news/AOsvfnfCaRHuGr-M1yxdxzA

Hello all, Just had an odd one and was wondering if anyone else has had the same. Gave my usual breakfast jab, upper buttock, counted to 10 then I took the needle out. I then witnesses very suddenly a clear droplet emerge from the site. I gave it it a wipe and it was a good amount of liquid...

I know this is a topic well covered, wheres quickest, where is best ...etc but recently I have started to notice something strange. My default site is abdomen for food, with thighs for basal and upper buttock for correction/ slower meals. As I honeymoon T1 I tend to need only one bolus a day as...

Hello All, Just curious, how many of you pay for apps that help monitor your blood? What ones are they? Are they a one time purchase or a subscription? If you don't have any paid apps or subscriptions how do you feel about them? Have you tried any? P.s. I am not in the app game and am not...

Today I had my first review following diagnosis in Feb 2016, I got a bit of a telling off with a HBA1C of 4.7% (28). I now have to bring it up to the 5s which is fair enough. I have also been referred to the pump specialists as I carb count and have good control (if a bit low). I haven't had a...
