I found this out the hard way too a few months back!

@donnelysdogs, I appreciate that. I had already worked out that two sensors per month would be cheaper than 150 strips but hadn't thought about writing the letter myself! I work in the NHS, currently in mental health, and when I see how resources are already stretched I feel bad as at least I...

Thanks all! I might mention at clinic in a few weeks time and see what they can do! I'm not usually the sort of person to embrace new technology quickly but want to live as healthily as I can to see my baby grow up and would love to keep an eye on glucose levels this closely to act faster! Do...

I'm sure I'm not alone here desperate to try out a libre but still in the waiting list after months! Having numerous complications despite good control for at least 25 of the 31 years diagnosed they are still happening and I can only wonder if there are spikes I'm not aware of and thought this...

Jagger38 I totally appreciate and understand your frustrations! I too had high expectations of a pump eith the thought of it ever going wrong stupidly not even entering my mind, and true my hba1c has improved dramatically but only when it's working! Like you I sometimes feel like a pump...

I don't know if you will find this of any comfort but the tubeless pump has lots of failures too in my experience so it would seem all pumps have their pros and cons to me, just in case you thought this might have been the solution!

Oh and just remembered something perhaps more shocking.....my own in laws refused to come to our wedding as having met me once in the six years prior to our getting married, decided they didn't actually 'approve' of me as they didn't 'like' the fact I had to take insulin or test my glucose and...

13 years ago I was undergoing part of my training with a 'big supermarket' post university. I had been there a few months when I was taken aside by my manager........to be told somebody was 'offended' by the fact that I injected myself, HIDDEN UNDER THE TABLE, THROUGH my clothes! Being so young...

Re: Pump and hot weather = nightmare! Hi all, Not sure if its significant but I am getting heaps more 'occlusions' in this heat! No two days the same really as had some highs and lows but generally a higher trend in the heat for me this time. Weird as when I was on mdi I had more hypos in the...

Thank you for your support Robinresbreast. It was never my intention to upset anyone, just trying to illustrate retinopathy can be a minor set back and not destroy all hopes and dreams. I wish you health and happiness my friend! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

There are plenty of patients to test on where no other 'cure' has been found.....there is absolutely NO need to subject animals to testing. The biggest main reason that the disease state is introduced artificially.

Dear Paul1976, I am in no way out to provoke an argument, merely pointing out that there is ore to life than figures and to offer hope to people like myself whoare struggling at times! I have no idea why my profile says I have only been diagnosed for 1 year but how I wish this were true...

Hi all, This is my first time posting but I feel so strongly about some of the comments I have read tonight that I felt compelled to write. Whilst some of the content of the threads is accurate, much of it is not! I have had T1DM for 28 years now and yes I have been through the whole horrible...
