Hi, does anyone know if a tubeless 300 unit reservoir insulin pump exists, that is compatible with a CGM (Dexcom or Libre) and also can be used on an iPhone? That's what my son is looking for, but does it exist? I have researched, but it seems he may need to compromise on at least one aspect of...

Have been using this for months, with really close results between blood and isf readings. It has been amazing BUT......Then bought a box of 10 and used 3 in a row, ALL of which were excessively inaccurate at 100% + wrong/ higher. My son thought he was at 5.5, felt hypo and was at 2!!! So this...

So my son had his T1D diagnosis 9 months ago. Routine testing for other autoimmune conditions revealed elevated Coeliac antibodies. A second blood test 6 months later showed lower, but nonetheless elevated levels. A recent gut biopsy looked normal to the naked eye. No symptoms were present, so...

Diabetes nurse advised me to consider changing from Lantus to Tresiba yesterday, to take account of fact that Lantus doesn't last the full 24 hours. She said that it takes 7 days for Tresiba to be fully in its groove/ pattern, whereas with Lantus is it 3. It's also less flexible when one has...

Hi, I hope someone might be able to advise me. My son was taking 10/11 units of Lantus basal for a few months. Suddenly, when the hot weather hit, he needed less and less (hypo after hypo), until we hit 6 units. That lasted about 2 weeks. Since then, he's had increasing Lantus needs to achieve...

I do not have diabetes; my son sadly has T1. He uses Freestyle Libre and I ordered a box of 10 of the sensors a few months ago. As he progressed through them, I soon realised that they'd expired, though they still seemed to work. Abbot sent me 10 sensors to use within 2 months and I didn't...

T1D is new to my life. I scan for what's new in research and developments a lot and there are some interesting as well as some bizarre things to be found. I'm struck by people who have had this condition for years and who say that they've been promised cures constantly, since their diagnoses...

Please can I ask those experienced people: does fluctuating temperature cause varying insulin needs? My son's insulin needs seem to change a lot. When the hot spell struck, his Lantus needs went down by 25% suddenly (to avoid hypo after hypo) and then slowly crept back up again. Humalog level...

My question is in the title. Can anyone advise? thank you
