Hi all, So after a visit to the hospital to discuss pumps, I really like the idea of getting one. I have been invited to a manufacture talk (Medtronic and Accu Check), but naturally they are only going to talk about the positives as they want you to use their product. But I want to know the...

Will have a look on there now :)

That's great information thank you for the book suggestion, I will certainly look into it. The omnipod does have some positives from what I have read :)

Hi @azure Thanks for the message. I understand it is personal preference and will certainly ask lots of questions. To be honest I'm going to have to anyway as I'm really new to this. So many makes and models to choose from, I feel it can sometimes be overwhelming :) Thanks for your Help!

Hi @Snapsy That is exactly what they are like with me. They seem to praise the insight for the way it works, has been developed, uses cartridges and software. They even say that if they asked someone if they could return it or have it back the request would be declined. That is a very good...

Hey @Snapsy I might actually ask when I go in, I didn't think about asking for a try on/trial when I'm there. You have made a very good point about where you may and may not be able to put it on the disconnecting for certain things makes it seem very much less of doom and gloom when it comes...

Thank you very much :)

I do like the look of the omnipod, do you find it easy to use? Thank you for the advice and will let everyone know how I got on later today

Thank you for this information you have been most helpful

Hi @Snapsy Thanks for the message and your story did sound a little unique lol The insight is the one they really want me to have and must admit the thing that bothers me most but shouldn't is the hosepipe sorry... tubing ;) I must admit pre filled cartridges and size of the pump is kind...

I've been doing it four years now and have only just got good at it... just like most things time makes perfect. As long as you have the basic steps and a couple of moves learnt you can dance to a whole song with a good lead. Me and my wife go to one based in Medway in Kent called Medway Lindy...

It's always different when your left to your own devices, I know because I'm like it with my dance moves so hard to think on your feet sometimes. I'm on day 3 of my weights today and I'm starting to ache to must be doing it right.... or wrong, it's one or the other lol I think you should do...

Hi all, Tomorrow I have an appointment to discuss insulin pumps with my diabetes team at the hospital. I have had many discussions already with them but tomorrow is an opportunity to look at some and see if one I like the look of is available on the nhs. I do a lot of Lindy hop dancing and...

Hi @Snapsy Thank you for the message and all the information you have given me! Yes Im based in kent and been attending a Lindy hop group for the past 4 years and I am really grateful for the teachers there providing such a good way to exercise and make friends. I did think about personal...

Hey Thanks for the reply, all my meals include either salad or veg, meat, low fat products when available but my meals are always a portion size that isn't big as I'm not a big eater. I have never joined a gym and do as much dancing as possible and home exercises.

Hi all, I am a Type One diabetic and looking for some advice. I do Lindy Hop (1940s Dancing) twice a week and really enjoying it, but find I am not as fit as I used to be. I'm looking to reduce my weight by around a stone (I eat healthy) and tone up the top half of my body. Has anyone got any...

@azure Hi Thank you for the reply. That's very informative and will try and avoid my stomach area for a while and see how it goes. What sort of toning exercises/routines should I look into do you think? How has using a pump been for you and is it big? Your advice has been appreciated. :)

@catapillar thank you for the reply. I will try looking into the advice you have given me, I know I won't get rid of it completely but just reducing it would be great. Will look into the core exercises. Thanks for taking get the time to reply :)
