Would anyone mind explaining to me, in really simple terms, how to go about using extended bolus/carbs with Android APS? I've tried researching and asking in the AAPS Facebook group, but all you ever get there is "READ THE DOCS!!". Well, the docs aren't too great at explaining a lot of things...

Good news! I've been offered a switch from MDI to pumping. Bad news! I have no idea where to start. My consultant has said I can pretty much have whichever pump I want, which is awesome, but I just don't know what to choose and why. They seem to be pushing the T-Slim and Medtronic 640g models...

Hi all, Is there a way to test how long bolus insulin remains active in my system? I'm having a few problems getting my insulin to work correctly and the dosage right, and one of the things I think I should understand is how many hours my NovoRapid remains active, at least while sedentary. Thanks

Do any of you get double spikes like this? My control the last few days has been pretty dreadful, I just can't seem to get the post meal levels back down. And I'm having issues like on the graph with a second spike hours after eating. Just when I thought my sugars were coming down to normal...

How long does your post meal spike tend to last? I can't get my head round mine! Since getting my Libre I've been much more aware of what is happening with my glucose levels at all times, and I'm finding my glucose spikes after eating to be a bit confusing. Today for example, I had beans on...

Hi all, Before I start, just want to make sure I state that I know everyone is different, reacts in different ways and so on, not not necessary looking for advice here! For the last few years I've been on NovoRapid and Levemir (split dosage in the morning and evening) and in the last week I've...

Hi all, I'm trying to get hold of the Accu-Chek 360 software so I can download the results from my Accu-Chek Mobile and share them with my specialist team. However, I can't find it anywhere! It doesn't appear you can download it from the Accu-Chek website (unless I'm just not seeing it) but...

I have a sweet tooth. There's no two ways about it and I like a sweet cup of tea. However, I find that using artificial sweeteners raise my blood sugar by quite a bit. For example, after a single cup of tea my blood can go from a reading of 5-7 to 18+ I've been T1 for 20+ years so you'd have...

For years I've been using BD Micro Fine+ 8mm needles, with no issues. I've recently moved to a new area and therefore a new GP and when transferring my repeat prescription across they have removed the BD needles and replaced them with Braun Omnican Fine needles on a cost basis. Now, I'm all for...
