For me it’s how unpredictable I find I can be. One second I’m fine, 1 hour later I’m high. Yesterday 2 units worked for a banana, today 2 units made me low! Etc etc. This might just be me but this is what stops me from perfect control. I also find the carb counting can be a nightmare when you...

I find restaurants are so bad with this. I always try to check nutritional values online or ask if they have a book where I can check. Nando’s are very bad, a diabetic friend and I went and upon checking, it said that their regular fries had something like 75gs of carbs- luckily we didn’t follow...

Hey! 22 and diagnosed 20 years ago! Feel free to give me a message [emoji322]

Good advice! I think I definitely need to experiment more with my combo bolus setting...

I’d love to try one but I’ve been told that I cant have a trial period or one funded on the NHS :( but yes I’d love to watch what happens with a CGM or Libre with pizza or overnight even!

Ugh it’s such a pain isn’t it, the things we diabetics will do for pizza!! Yeah I started at 8 two hours after and the four hours after I was 18 :( bolused for that and then woke up on 10, which is a little higher than I hoped to be which was also annoying. But I was the same and had what I...

Interesting! I might try a longer Bolus maybe that’ll help with the 2 hour lows! Yeah the one I had last night was a thin crust “skinny” pizza which I thought would of been better but no I was still 18 4 hours after [emoji849] maybe if I had done a combo Bolus it would’ve been better! I do want...

Okay, the title is a little excessive but I’m sure many of you understand where Im coming from... how do I successfully Bolus for pizza?! In the past year of being on the pump I seem to get it wrong every time. What happens is I eat, 2 hour test= below 10 or sometimes low so have to treat. 4...

Ooo wow that could be a challenge but maybe if the cases work out that will be my next step!

Your post has made me laugh out loud as it’s so relatable! But gosh you’ve tried a lot of different products and cases clearly haha, I will try my best to meet your needs :) Thanks for the boost of confidence!

Thats a great thought I didn't even think to consider this! I will definitely look into this more, I been using a flimsy case from a drugstore for the past 5 years so hopefully I haven't done any damage to my meter! haha. but thanks this will be great research for me :)

Yeah I had a lot of people say that it was a dumb idea and that "the world doesn't need another handbag designer" :( ah yeah, thats basically what I want to create, nothing too complicated just something simple yet attractive! Ooooo yes I love Cath Kidston thats a great idea! thanks :) x

Aw you dont come across as angry at all! which makes me feel better haha :) thanks a lot, yes of course thats one of the main must haves. I have thought about that too, I have had some suggesting for creating a handle too so I will definitely work with these ideas :)

Thanks Geoff! thats my main aim at the end of the day :) I will definitely keep everyone up dated
