Will be on iPhone.. have loop built and basal, isf, etc all ready to go!

Had my omnipod approved!! Means I can loop officially once I get started!! The loop trial with 2 pods was amazing and I got some fantastic results. Excited to get going...

That is awesome!

The pods and libre have held up well for nearly 2 weeks of sun, sea and pool time.. I have cut tegaderm to cover the sticky parts of each - worked pretty well. The diving was only for 20 mins and in a pool around 1 metre... no problems with either pod or libre after. She wanted to do a beach...

I’m so proud of my little one, she did a scuba experience in the pool today.. with both pod and libre. Type 1 won’t stop us....

How are you finding it?

So, 1 pod (3 days in) and I have to admit I love this system. I will self fund omnipod if I can’t get nhs funding (will have to sell my jeep!!). Bolusing is a synch, I have had a couple of lows, buts that’s my playing with basal rates .. but what a difference a few days makes!!

Hi @SL1975 I had exactly the same experience as yourself, I even queried with the consultants if I was even diabetic!! (Many occasions). not sure where you are, but I went onto libre pretty much as soon as I could, this really helped me check what was going on and see the trends on which way...

Yeah, I’m in conversation with my daughters team weekly, we are struggling to level her, so they are waiting on results of my test ;) If all goes well, we will be looking at a funding request for Dexcom for her. As to low carb/keto.. I have done this myself with a lot of success, unfortunately...

So, I have taken the plunge.. self funded Dexcom g6 and I have to say I love this cgm. I was on mdi and setup loop with my numbers and went open loop for a week to test. Great to test the app and the interaction with my g6 (pump simulator mode). I had a consultant appointment and he is putting...

Not sure if posted elsewhere (on mobile app in the airport) but I went through this guide using my Mac last night and it’s all good! Back on spike.. trialing a week or two with personal licence, but if a good I will buy an apple dev licence and then it’s good for a year without having to resign...

So.. updated to ignite a few days back and all was good. Connected daughter up tonight, Nightscout and xdrip working on her phone, no spike follower on my iPhone now, the app wouldn’t verify and now after reinstall doesn’t give option to add cert :/ Back to sugarmate and no predictive till they...

T1 won’t stop you doing this, I am a year in and am back to distance running - it’s taken me more time to come to terms with the diagnosis than actually doing things as a T1! My biggest bit of advice is to prep when doing exercise - for me I decrease my background insulin the night before and...

Been pretty quite of late, life is busy! Now on a split dose levemir and fiasp mix. It’s really helped with being able to manage long runs.. As such, I completed the London landmarks half last weekend! This is something I didn’t think I would be able to manage when diagnosed and hypoing after...

Accepting the diagnosis is much easier now the honeymooning is over... feel like I can actually move on and move forward. It sucks, but bit of a relief to be honest..

So I’ve been pretty quiet of late. Finally got my results from the hospital, GAD antibody was strong positive @2000 units/ml and islet cell antibody was negative - not sure what this means but paperwork says definite Type 1. My honeymoon period of taking 0 fast acting came to a sudden halt...

Still waiting for my tests.. but a week and a half in with no insulin and low carb very low calorie diet is this...

When fasting my ketones went to 1.8, am checking morning and night and am sitting around 0.3-0.6. DSN knows about this and has ordered the blood tests for me, am 6 months diagnosed and she doesn’t think this is honeymooning. The idea was to shed a few kg before my holiday.. nothing major, but...

I am now 10 days in on low carb, low calorie diet. 7 days without insulin.. no lantus and no Fiasp. I feel like I did 12 months ago.. I did a 10k run in an hour, no stops no refuelling, no hypo.. cruised around 4.5 Tonight I thought I would have a food experiment. I had a higgldy pie and 300g...

I took a lot of acid years ago when younger... it affected me differently based on how I was feeling, who I was with etc. I guess acid paranoia would be my only fear as a diabetic. If you get yourself worked up about bs levels you may think a dose is required and accidentally hypo (or worse)...
