Expires in November 2024 – thanks again for the link!

Fab, thanks for the link. Will take a look :)

I got fined about five years ago years ago for the same thing. Been type one for 41 years. I then applied for and received a physical card but haven't been asked for it since, and have of course now lost it. Am trusting that once it approaches its expiry date I'll receive a reminder...

Do you have any diabetes complications?

Basically, though, the media hype is just saying that the closed-loop pump that lots of people are already on will be rolled out to more people, rather than some groundbreaking new tech that's been launched. Is that right?

How on earth do you have an HbA1C of 37?!! Absolutely wow!!!!!:)

Interesting, thank you. I'd heard that Fiasp was more 'syrupy', hence the reported blockages. Will chat about it all at my next appointment.

Fascinating, I had no idea. Thanks!

Well done, sounds like you're definitely on the right path. Keep it up :)

Prancy, were you referred to a diabetes psychologist? I spoke to my consultant the other day about how I'm feeling overwhelmed with my T1, having had it for 40+ years now and she said that it's very common to get 'diabetes burn-out'. Hope all goes well with your therapy :)

Thank you. Will look into all this.

By 'manual phantom bolus' do you mean disconnecting the pump and delivering the bolus into the sink or whatever? Thanks for the tips.

My big problem with the t:slim and Control IQ is the way it struggles with my slow insulin absorption / fast metabolism, and also the way it over compensates for post-hypo highs. For example, I'll deliver a bolus 15 mins before a meal and my sugars will rocket pretty much as soon as I've...

Clever tips to fool the system, thanks. Hope it continues to work well for you :)

Really interesting, thanks. I use a lot of insulin too, so I'll ask about Fiasp too. Thank you.

Interesting. Does bolusing on Lyumjev with a pen mess up the pump algorithm?

I swap my Dexcom G6 between upper arms. Occasionally alarms in the night for loss of communication, but pretty happy with positions. Daren't try tummy as my sites get sore quite quickly so don't think I'd manage 10 days straight in one place on there.

Thanks for that info. Will give it a look. Great to hear your friend rates it :)

Wow, I was told that Fiasp wasn't suitable for the T-Slim. How's it been on it?

Good luck!
