Hi, I have been on the pump for soon 8 years now but I am off to do a masters in South Africa in February next year. This means I will quite possibly loose my entitlement to the NHS and therefore to the pump. This means getting a private insurance over there, which, on my budget, will not be...

Hi, I've been a type 1 for about 8 years and on a pump for 7 of those. I tend to manage my diabetes quite well (last hbac1 was 5.8 ) and also don't really limit myself on what I can eat (as long as i put the insulin in to balance out). There is one food though that I have never been able to...

Hi everyone, I have been using the Optium Xceed for... well, since I was diagnosed type 1 7 years ago I think. The other day I used another tester and noticed that when there is not enough blood on the strip it will throw an error so that your only option is to use a new strip. I thought that...

Hi, I am a very fond skier and spend quite a lot of time up there in the mountains. Only problem with this is the cold and my BG machine always shows an error because of this. Sometimes it prevents me from testing all day, which isn't the best as I am doing exercise all day. I've tried all the...

Hi everyone, I went on the pump about 4 years ago now of which the first 3 went absolutely fine. Recently though i have been having major issues with the infusion sets not working and this week end a problem with leaking wires that led to DKA and hospital. I m just starting to wonder whether the...

Hi, I'm new to this forum and have had type 1 diabetes for about 7 years now. Whenever I am faced with an weirdly high level I can normally, after a bit of thinking, come up with an explanation and try to avoid it later on. Though this past week I've been very confused. I have started running...
