    Minimed app and phone vompatability

    I certainly know it doesn't work on my OnePlus12r (android 16, nor when it was still android 15) Luckily you dont need the app for the 780g to work (though it does make uploading your stuff far far easier if you do have it)

    Minimed app and phone vompatability

    There is this page on Medtronic's site: https://www.medtronic-diabetes.com/en-gb/check-compatibility-app Though admittedly the search bit seems to not be working currently, may be worth trying it tomorrow afternoon though (ie hopefully something will have been kicked to get it working by then)

    [emoji638]mmol difference between Libre and G[emoji640]

    I've been using the G4 sensors probably for about 2 years now (give or take my memory) On sensor change day (which I normally do in the morning) I tend to calibrate it (with blood tests) a few times through that day to get it sorted, and normally by the next morning its pretty close to the blood...

    gift hamper advice

    Or if you want to get food, ask them what they'd like, they are likely to know what works for them, rather than some other random diabetic (of whichever type)

    Medtronic 780g and Pixel 10

    It could well be that Medtronic just haven't put it on their compatibility list and wont let it run on that phone with Android 16 until they've tested and made it sure it works fine Its never worked on my OnePlus 12R since I got it last year (was Android 15 and is now Android 16) :( (yes I'm...

    Advice and help

    Not just the clinic but it can also come down to the attitude of the consultant Back in 2017/8 I was trying to geta pump, every time I saw the consultant he basically said 'well it would help' but other people may need it so you cant have it - gee thanks. Then at the end of 2019, he retired, new...

    Finger prick variances

    Blood test machines have to be with 15% of the actual blood glucose level to be considered accurate, so getting slightly different numbers is not unexpected I'm afraid 7.8,8.5 and 9.4 are all with 15% of 8.5 so its probably somewhere around there) Some times the CGM's can be a little out, which...

    Diabetic retinopathy/employment

    If you are using Windows it does have its own built in magnify as well in case that helps (I accidentally turned it on once and everything was suddenly very very big!) Here is Microsofts page for it to explain about it ...

    Shouldn't do, after all, non-diabetics have insulin in their systems as well

    Type 1 Accu-Chek Aviva Expert

    Those meters have been discontinued by the manufacturer, thus the reason your nurses cant get them for you anymore, and you havent found any at the actual price they were The ridiculous price you saw was people taking advantage of that and seeing if they could make some easy money, cos whilst I...

    Rapid timing

    Depends how long it takes for you, some people need longer than others (and if also differs per insulin - some do work faster than others) Are you going low before eating or very shortly after eating - if so then yes it could be a bit early Can also depend on time of day, before I got my pump I...

    Insulin dosage

    Some do just need more than others, if its what you need, its what you need - no matter whether the nurse thinks its a lot or not There can be very big variations between what people need. PS. I think you said you're aType1 somewhere - would help if you could fill that in in your profile - just...

    Cgm sensor skin issues

    There are a couple of barrier sprays available that may help, I know I get one of them on prescription cos if I use the infusion kits or sensors on my stomach it goes red as well. See if your husband can talk to his diabetic nurse/doc and get one prescribed - I know I used to used Cavillon until...

    Do the nhs not do definite diagnosis any more?

    Go to your doctors then, the hospital departments not associated with diabetes would be very unlikely to diagnose you with diabetes anyways as that is not what they do, they diagnose and do stuff for their own specialities not others Your GP can do the proper test and then a confirmation test...

    Do the nhs not do definite diagnosis any more?

    The NHS do do definite diagnoses But, was it an HbA1c check they did or just a finger prick check - if it was a finger prick then they (the HNS) cannot diagnose from that anyway, needs to come from an HbA1c (normally 2 fairly close together I think, 2nd one for confirmation) If it was an HbA1c...

    Graves disease- help

    I got Graves at the end of 2020 (to add to my T1 and coeliac) They put me on an 18 month course of carbimozole and it calmed down and then then said 18-month course ended and within a few months it was back to misbehaving - I did get the conversation of surgery or the iodine treatment to get rid...

    COVID vaccine

    Just because I suspect the vast majority of people who get the flu/covid,etc jabs have free prescriptions doesn't mean its the free prescriptions make you qualify. I'm sure I saw the updated covid guidelines and I'm sure diabetes does not qualify you by itself, but other things may well do - or...

    Info

    Do note that with Tresiba, it is definitely one of the longer lasting insulins and it can take a couple of days after a change in dosage to take effect, so if you are changing the dosage of it, you'll need to be patient to see any results (I used to be on Tresiba before I got my pump, so have...

    Just Diagnosed with T1D

    Just as a random thought, when did the pain start, was it shortly after starting the insulin - if so maybe you're just having a really bad reaction to whatever insulin you're currently on (I know at a DAPHNE course I went on, one of the guys was having huge problems with exhaustion and it was...

    NovoRapid pen refills dont seem to work as good?

    Unless the mechanism in the reusable pens is not working as it should be, cartridges in reusable pens should work exactly the same as flexpens, as it is exactly the same insulin, same dosing units, same needles - its just a metal pen instead of one-use plastic You can test how much its given by...
