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 :)

Is there still a pump section on this app? I can't seem to find it? Feeling thick! ;)

How do I upload one on app??

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...

My mum is currently on holiday abroad with a new accu chek combo pump, she thought she had taken more than enough supplies, and spares. However she thought the cartridges were in packs of 10 and has only just realised there is only 5...she changes cartridge every 2.5 days so will run out. She is...

I am absolutely elated, this is why... I developed background retinopathy in 2010 after pregnancy. I was told (and read on here) that it could improve/reverse/disappear with good bg levels. But didnt quite believe it! I had my eye screening today (my 3 yr old was highly disappointed when there...

What would you do... My mum has been t1 almost 39 years, after seeing my success with the pump she asked about getting one. because she isnt able to achieve an hba1c in range she qualified for one. Her control is fairly erratic, she uses v high doses of insulin (120 total units a day), so...

Anyone know if you can delete a bg reading on this meter? I just tested before eating porridge and stupidly hasn't washed hands, bg was 14.7, was shocked because was 4.7 not long ago and hadnt eaten/drank anything. Tested again after washing hands, with alternative meter and was 7.9, tested...

Any techies out there? Can anyone tell me how to upload a pic from iPhone to the forum app? Tried on the 'full version' but any pic (from the 'choose existing' option. but have taken new pic too) seems too big to use. Is there a way to do this on the app? How can you reduce the pixel (or is it...

Hope someone can relate to this... I've been on a pump since August, and since fiddling around in the first few weeks & doing lots of adjustments, settled into a regime that worked for me. I don't really change the basal rates unless I notice a pattern and then I only tweak by 0.05u per hour...

Can anyone tell me what this is in a nutshell please? I'm using a pump (accu-chek combo) and think my swings from lo to high have reduced somewhat but I keep hearing about SD. My a1c is always fine but I've always felt this is due to too many hypos (in the quest for better levels). After 13...

as of last weds i am attached to the accu-chek combo pump. i realise they like to start off with 'safe' doses of insulin, but i really feel like i'm getting nowhere near enough insulin. although it's nice to be hypo-less (a common, daily occurence that i tolerated in the quest for a...

morning i had my accu-chek combo pump 'fitted' on weds, i am very bewildered with it all, lots of info to take in etc. anyway i have a telephone consultation booked in to talk to my doc today about adjusting my rpt prescription - for new insulin, test strips and lancets. (has anyone had any...

i'm very excited, i've been approved for a pump. having a trial using saline on 15th aug. i had a choice of two pumps, the combo looked good, i like the way the tester talks to the pump. THINK the other was medtronic, but can't remember! anyone using the combo? any opinions on it? are there any...

hopefully a quick question...i will phone DSN monday but i want to get more of a handle on this subject. am 'starting again' with learning about how to accurately calculate my insulin. been t1 for 12 years, have always kinda guessed, this works out ok but i want to be better than ok (am 9 weeks...

this may have been asked before, but i can't seem to find the answer i'm looking for, so forgive me if i'm repeating myself! anyone know/recommend an app on android phones for calculating insulin in relation to what blood sugar is and how many carbs etc? in particular one that uses UK values...

advice from any pregnant/previously pregnant ladies please... i make myself 7 weeks pregnant, this was a surprise pregnancy (with reasonably well controlled BS levels thank goodness) so i wasn't 'in the system' of the pre-conception clinics that they hold in ante-natal clinics...my doc got me...

hi...anyone out there pregnant right now? feeling lonely! i'm eloise & been T1 for nearly 12 years. i've had 2 children, 9 & 2 and a couple of early miscarriages (which i reckon were caused by high BS). i'm almost 7 weeks pregnant (compete surprise! last A1c was 6.8 and i've been pretty...

been posting about my mum...taking alot of insulin (200u+ daily) and still can't get on top of her levels. she already split her levemir am/pm anyway but accidentally took 40u at lunchtime the other day instead of her novorapid. she took novorapid aswell, and reduced her usual dose of 70u (lev)...

would really appreciate any advice about my mum. i am T1 (12 yrs) and am waiting until my clinic appt early april to talk about the possibilities of using a pump (have been worried i've got some 'damage' but will bring this up at clinic). mum has been t1 for 37 years, and has been fairly...
