    Accu-chek Aviva insight meter

    Hi Felt a bit yuk & tested...my meter says 'hi' I haven't experienced a level so high that it doesn't give a number, in years! Can't find anywhere how high is 'hi' - I'm thinking 30+??? Anyone know? (Canula was dodgy. I've had a big bolus so will retest in 20) Thanks :)

    Diabetes burnout, anyone?

    Wow. Burnout? Yes! 15 yrs in & I'm there. Always been so proud of how being diabetic 'doesn't affect me'. Turns out it's quite exhausting, like you say, to be constantly fighting the tide. You ain't alone that's for sure x

    Feeling so alone!

    Hey how you feeling today? Must admit I've been 'too sweet' () for 15 years and was 'ok' with it til quite recently. It's like I just realised its never going to go away, or get easier, and will always need close monitoring (if those complications are to be avoided) prone to anxiety etc, mostly...

    Flexlink cannulas for accuchek combo

    Having some trouble with flexlink cannulas. Would love to hear others experiences of them. I have used rapid d cannulas since getting the Accu chek combo last August. Never had a problem. My mum recently got a pump and is using flexlink cannulas, I loved the fact they were smaller, could be...

    Beach holiday / tanning issues / not wanting to look like Sp

    Re: Beach holiday / tanning issues / not wanting to look lik Ah yes, forgot about the industrial strength folic. Glad you knew, if we left it all to gp's where would we be!? You should have access to a 'pre-conception clinic', or at the very least an appt with your diabetes 'team' to discuss...

    Beach holiday / tanning issues / not wanting to look like Sp

    Re: Beach holiday / tanning issues / not wanting to look lik Hi Leanne Lovin Brett's idea, cannula in bottom area and the pump can hook on bikini bottoms!? Has your pump got a skin or a holder that can hook? You'll look like a Bond girl! I've had the combo since August last year, and haven't...

    Fasting

    Still take levemir, if blood glucose drops, have some juice or dextrose, it will not affect the hba1c. Presumably you have to fast for other blood tests, the hba1c does not require fasting. So a little bit of glucose will not affect it, as it is looking at glucose levels in blood over last 10-12...

    Treating the high after the low

    3:43 AM and I am afraid

    Oh mart :( I do hope you are wrong, things always seem much much worse in the wee hours, when it's dark & everyone else is asleep and you can't. Get yourself go the walk in docs, or a&e, you have experience of how it feels and if you think it's happening again, GO...far better to be wrong and...

    Anyone re-used cartridge before?

    Gezzathorpe, she's type 1 and on an insulin pump so relies on insulin to stay alive! So she couldn't go without unfortunately. A type 1 produces no insulin so without it can run into trouble fairly quickly. Thank you for your concern though & time to reply, it's appreciated. No worries, she will...

    Treats?

    Shelleyharris...pester your dsn about getting on a DAFNE/carb counting education type course, you'll feel so much more confident about it all, and you'll feel more informed & able to be knowledgable when explaining/educating everyone else around you! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

    Finally Cracked

    Faith, so glad things are looking slightly better. I think it was around week 5 when I realised for the first time in a loooong time, that I felt just 'normal', and balanced. I was a bit sceptical really and didnt think it could possibly be this simple, but I have to be honest, I just feel more...

    Anyone re-used cartridge before?

    Thank you both. She is in a far flung place so doubt they are available, they are usually ordered and delivered not obtained through prescription. A rare item I suppose. iHs -excellent, thanks! She'll be relieved to hear its not unheard of. I never thought of reusing them, I have always reused...
