No, it doesn't ring your phone, if your BG goes too low then it automatically suspends the pump and restarts when it's reached a more stable level. It also makes the pump beep and vibrate to alert you to high and low readings.

Thanks, I'll have a chat with the DSN about the Libre :). Wish she'd directed her frustrations at something else that day instead of me, been hard work trying to bring myself back up, but I'm getting there :)

She is a bully, the poor BIL is really under the thumb! I think the rest of the family just want to have an easy life and can't be doing with the hassle of a fall out. My hubby has never really liked her because of the way she seems to control his brother, but I never really knew how awful she...

Thank you, I have tried to distance myself from her, but we have a family dinner every Sunday and she makes a point of trying to speak to me, she will never apologise though, and I just can't get past it, not at the moment anyway. Difficult when my husband "can't understand why I'm still upset...

Thank you! :) He's always smiling and I'm sure he thinks I'm doing a good job, and I know that's all that matters. I really hope my Jacob grows up to be more understanding than most when it comes to diabetes, you never know, one day it might be one of our children who gets involved with a long...

Thank you :), just sick of feeling like my best isn't good enough. I had a hypo at work today, so I ended up running half an hour late (I'm a practice nurse) while I threw some jelly babies back. Haven't had any bother at work for ages so people were asking me if I was alright and what had gone...

It's really hard to explain it to them as well, they might know what the symptoms of hypo and hyper are, but unless...

Hi, I've got cgm but only because I was pregnant in December, so got supplied with enough stuff to last through pregnancy. Unfortunately, I had a missed miscarriage in January and there seems to be problems with getting the funding sorted for long term cgm for me, so I stopped using it. All the...

Hey, Thank you for all your replies :), it helps so much just knowing I'm not the only one going through this. I've gotten used to just trying to get on with things on my own, about a year after I was diagnosed, I went to a support group called "The Expert Patient Program". Unfortunately, I was...

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum, but feeling very fed up at the minute. I have Type 1 Diabetes, diagnosed when I was 17 and I'm now 32. I'm married, we have a 20 month old son, and I control my diabetes with an insulin pump. I find it difficult because I don't know anyone else with Type 1...
