After seeing numerous posts on low carb I’ve moved over to the dark side, haven’t particularly done it for diabetic benefits as my control when eating carbs was really good. I started low carb yesterday, 29G of carbs a day. I’m still weighing/counting my carbs precisely & taking the insulin...

Something I’ve started noticing since going back onto a pump in January & having my CGM fitted is that routine seems to be a massive key player in the fight for tight control. I’ll give a few examples of what I’m noticing. When I first started the pump, every time I went to the gym & did...

Do we have any Lapl/ppl license holders on this forum? Before the start of the pandemic I was 3 lessons into my training. For obvious reasons things have been put on hold. When I started the training my plan was to take it slow, 1 lesson every 2 weeks so that I could get a good record on my...

Has anyone else found being Type 1 diabetic had any major limitations on what they’ve wanted to do with there life’s? Personally I’ve never let it get in the way of friendships, socialising, exercise, eating + drinking etc etc. I’ve always tried to live my life as normal as possible, doing...

Just found out a little bit of information about the automode feature on the Medtronic 780G & it’s certainly something I wasn’t told from Medtronic UK. So I’ve been speaking to a guy from the Netherlands on the Medtronic pump users Facebook page, and what he’s being told from his Netherlands...

So today while I was getting changed I ripped an infusion set out of my leg that was only 15/16hrs old, reservoir obviously nearly full. So instead of drawing up a reservoir & changing an infusion set I decided to just change the infusion set. I’d been 100% in range over the last 36hrs then...

Just came across a post on the Medtronic pump users Facebook page regarding differences between the SG & BG reading for pump users. Supposedly when doing a finger blood test, you should never need to squeeze the finger to draw blood. The prick should be deep enough so that the blood is easily...

I just need to have a rant about the guardian 3 & see if anyone else has had problems, I’m using it with a 780G! At first everything went great for me but slowly but surely I’m starting to agree with all the negative comments I saw before starting the pump. I’m seriously thinking about running...

Medtronic 780G Update. So my first training session on the 780G was last Thursday. It was a 3hr session to help dial in all your settings & to run through its features, we where also suppose to fit the guardian 3 sensor. Unfortunately due to some delays we never actually got round to fitting...

Anyone else had any issues with the ups delivery service based in the UK? Also why the hell do Medtronic ship everything in tiny bundles? My 780G was dispatched Friday the 18th & it’s been sent in 4 small bundles. First package came yesterday with infusion sets & reservoirs, another package...

So, my 780G has been dispatched & is on its way. Training booked in for the 7th of January so nearly time to get excited. Basically I’m very active, gym 6/7 days a week & usually always on my feet with work etc. I don’t really just want to have the pump in my pocket because of the types of...

Just wondering if we have any type 1s on here that are serious gym goers? I train 6 days a week as a minimum, sometimes 7 depending on how I feel. Recently I’ve cut out all cardio training & im focusing on Bodybuilding type of training. I’m working alongside a PT who controls all of my training...

Hey everyone, I know there is a forum specifically for Insulin pump questions but it seems very quiet over there so thought id post my question here. Im due to start pump therapy on the 7th of January on the Medtronic 780G. Im quite active & usually go the gym 6 days a week as a minimum. I was...

Hi guys, quick introduction. I’m 26, been diabetic since I was 13/14. Never accepted diabetes in my teenage years & always had problems like most of us do. I was previously receiving pump medication when I was 16 & I was using a Medtronic paradigm. So in November after a phone call with my...
