Hi all , I’m hoping someone can help as my erratic sugars are really getting me down. I’m 32 and have been diabetic since I was 5. Since I was 16 , I was on the mini pill , and when using this I didn’t have periods at all. I use an omnipod insulin pump and my hba1c is 51 so I’m fairly well...

I’ve been diabetic for 25 years and not experienced anything like this before so wanted to see if anyone else has the same issue. All of a sudden, out of nowhere , I seem to have become super sensitive to insulin. My eating habits haven’t changed , it’s not been overly hot here , my sites...

Hi guys , I’m hoping someone can offer some advice . I’m due to fly on Thursday with the omnipod for the first time , and I’ve read online that you need to disconnect your pump for take off and landing due to changes in cabin pressure which can result in over- delivery. I’ve read a few horror...

Hi all , I know there’s a wealth of experience in this forum so am hoping someone can explain what’s going on. Yesterday I switched from the 640g to omnipod and ever since I’ve been having a lot of hypos, has anyone else experienced this when moving pumps ? I’m putting the pods in the same...

Hi all I’ve been pumping since April and have been finding that even taking my dog for a quick 10 minute walk is making my sugars drop like a stone. Before when I was on MDI’s this never happened so I’m looking for some advice or guidance if possible. I’ve had a dexcom for about 3 months now...

Hi all , I’m hoping someone can offer their advice or experiences. Are you able to wear your pump for a standard dentist check up and hygienist appointment? I’m not going to be having an X-ray taken but in the room they have the X-ray machine which they pull over you in the chair. On the door...

Hi all , I am hoping someone can offer some advice on dating and being a T1D and on an insulin pump. Being single and trying to find someone nowadays seems challenging enough but being on a pump just seems to have added to it the challenges. I’ve been diabetic for almost 26 years and since...

Hi all! Sorry I feel like I’m posting every week on this site at the moment. I’m just wondering if I am doing something wrong when connecting my minimed reservoirs to the tubing connector. Once I’ve filled the reservoir with insulin and go to connect it to the tubing , i push it into the...

Good morning all :) I’ve been using a minimed 640g pump now for about 6 weeks and had previously been on lantus with a MDI regime. In the past 6 weeks I’ve never had such good BG readings and am thrilled with it so far. However I am experiencing a change in my hypo awareness and I just wanted...

Hi all, I'm new to pump therapy, I am only 4 weeks in and my control *touch wood* has never been so good. I came off MDI as being on these was like riding on a rollercoaster, one minute it was high, the next minute crashing through the floor. The issue I am having is with the infusion sets. I...
