Yes hopefully it was a one off, my worry was I have had enough hypos over the years to know what is normal for me but I have never experienced that, it wasn’t the feeling of hypo that continued it was just extreme panic, but not panicking about the hypo if that makes any sense? X

I just know I can be quite temperamental when hypo and don’t want to say something I wouldn’t normally! Calm rooms are much easier to get your head back togethrr in! X

Thank you for replying, it was a panic attack, much more than a panic, I felt like I couldn’t breath everything was heightened and I was shaking even after the hypo had ended. Normally I can handle hypos well but today something just changed and it really spooked me. The worry is that it was a...

Thank you for your reply, I have little hypo awareness but have not had a panic attack like this ever before, (hallucinations yes panic attacks no!) It was such a shock and has really shook me up I just don’t want it to happen again. And I’m glad it’s not just me who doesn’t want to be around...

Hi all, So this afternoon I was in the supermarket with my partner and I started having a hypo, whilst this happened he bumped into someone he knew and I walked away, (I was eating a bag of crisps and in no frame of mind to talk to anyone) he can’t of been away from me for more than five...

That’s good to hear! I moved clinics a year ago and I was so shocked about the different treatment they recommend! Im hoping the pump will sort out my injection sites, it’s getting to the point that my legs are just sore now, and so bruised! Pump meeting in two weeks, looking forward to it!

It seems everyone has something different! I always find the bum hard to get too and not hit the same spot over and over again but I’ve gone back to using it just to give my legs a rest!

Thank you for the info RE pump, will definitely try different sizes out, didn’t occur to me before! Needles I’m not sure what size I am on at the moment, last downsides them about 5 months ago as I was always on slightly longer needles, but that wasn’t brought up at my last appointment even...

It’s a nightmare when there’s not enough room to rotate! I’m going to go back to bum for a while and just give legs a break, my stomach has a permanent swelling now so not much I can do about it but legs are just to painful to keep injecting there!

Thank you, definitely going to go back to the bum for a bit, haven’t used arms since the syringe injections years ago, also use he libre on my arm now, don’t know if injecting there will effect the readings on that?

Thank you, are you finding the bum works just as well as legs? I got the impression we weren’t meant to inject there any longer but I can’t keep swelling like this! Thank you for the info on the pump, I am getting plenty of questions together at the moment so will add that to the list. To be...

Hi all, The past month or so I have really noticed big bruises and lumps on my injection sites, I spoke to the nurse a few weeks ago and her advice was to just keep rotating. I have been injecting for 22 years now and have always rotaed sites as much as possible, (I’m quite slim so there’s...

Thank you! Not so much running but dancing and yoga, will bear it in mind when planting! I am going on holiday for two weeks one week into being on the pump so I will have time to work it out without the pressure of everyday life which should help!

It's just quite a shock! I am going to the clinic next week and will let you know what they say with regards to it being reversed!

Thank you, I wasn't sure about the back of my arm due to the size of the pod but I will give it a go!

I think being diabetic is always going to effect you, there is no way it can't. There's no denying that it's not always easy but it does get better. I had a turning point this year when I decided I can either let it dictate my life or I can take control, I have embrecaed being diabetic, it's...

Hi Michelle, I have had the libre for a while now and in the hot weather they seem to reduce in stickiness! I know a lot of people cover them with rock tape or something similar but I personally like to use my libre as an accessory to my outfit so ten to put a sticker on that matches what...

Thank you for replying, sorry to hear it has now affected your eye. It is a strange comfort to hear people have had it for years before any effect has taken though, I'm hoping it will be some time before anything happens! Thank you, and yes appointment made with the clinic already! X

It's so scary isn't it! Still waiting to meet with the nurse but I have eventually calmed myself down after speaking to others about it!

Hi all, I am getting the omnipod at the end of this month, I can't wait but am worrying about where to wear it. I have seen most people wear on their stomach which is fine, but I have a 14month old cocker spaniel who is always jumping up for cuddles and play time. This has never worried me...
