Thanks everyone. I am on the t-slim closed loop system with the dexcom. Day 1 fully done. The next few days I think are tweaking as having quite a few lows but the diabetic team have been brilliant so far. I can see the potential this can bring so fingers crossed

So today I switched to a pump for the first time. After a lifetime of yo yo control I am really hoping this adds some stability. I must admit though, I have come away feeling slightly daunted by having to change my thinking and approach to trusting this little machine after 39 years on being a...

I moved from Levimir to Tresiba last October and for the first 4 months it was horrible. Like others say any changes are not immediate my usual ratios were turned completely upside down. I got to the point where i was ready to go back. Then i gave it one last try and really followed what my...

My advice would be to get them checked out. As people suggest both diabetics and non diabetics get them. I have had them quite a Lot caused by bleeds from retinopathy. Best to get checked to be on safe side

Pasta is always tricky for me. I usually split my insulin because if I have the full amount at the start i will be hypo within an hour

Thanks it is gratefully received

Thanks both. Must admit never had pain like that before. On the plus side I have a week off work to do as little as possible. I am just frustrated with the eye test as I don't believe it is a fair test. I have full 20/20 vision but that isn't considered. Not much I can do though so I am not...

So this week I have had my DVLA eyesight exam (which I am sure I will fail) and emergency surgery to remove a perrianal abscess. I am laid up now with the prospect of further operations as I have a fistula and just feeling generally fed up. I have less then 2 weeks to recover in time for my...

I use a strip of kinesiology tape. That you can do almost anything without it falling off

Thanks @Juicyj

I have been trying hard to lower my sugars specifically as I am having a lot of issues with proliferative retinopathy. I keep getting told not to lower too much due to the adverse effect it can have but I am not sure how much is to much and can't seem to find many answers out there Anyone...

Hi just wanted to say good luck. I can't say everything will be fine because I don't know but it sounds like your hp are doing what is needed. I am 38 and had a tough time with my eyes over last couple of years. Had numerous laser sessions and last week had more bleeds. I ended up paying for a...

Thanks for the reply @therower. Yes it was a normal afternoon at work. Everything apart from eating lol.

Evening everyone. So after a few opinions. My Basel testing started at 9.7 and finished at 7.6 after 5 hours. I will do another test but wondered what thoughts were on whether this would require an adjustment. I believe a drop of 2 is prob the limit?

Quick question can you drink coffee with milk or should you abstain from that as well

Great thanks @Juicyj. Now to figure out how I am not going to eat till 7 tonight[emoji21]

Morning everyone just after a quick sense check. I am doing a Basel test today targeting the afternoon section 12-6. Had my breakfast this morning so just checking that is it for meals now until 6? Been a while since I have done one of these but if I recall the last meal should be 4 hours before?
