I use a timesulin timer for my lantus solostar. I have only had the pen a very short time (I got mine as it was recommended to me via the charity website INPUT) It works very well, its very much like a lcd watch display and resets to zero if you remove tha cap for more than ~8 secs from the pen...

The small red crosses are when you entered a meter BG value, The big red "plus" icons are events you marked as illness/stress etc via the handset If you look at the bottom of the graph in dexcom studio there is an icon legend to explain them, If you hover the mouse cursor over one of the...

Re: CGM sticky tape? I too use hypafix if I have the sensor on my stomach area and it usually stays put for 2 weeks. I normally use skin tac skin adhesive when I put the sensors on my arms (where they last around 3 - 4 weeks).

Sounds like my hospital.. I was approved in february.. theyve just ..ie 3 weeks agfo actually applied for funding from the CCG. Ive been hanging on by my fingernails waiting for info. I have had to keep on asking whats going on for near on 9 months now and I have still not even been given a...

Are you sure you have no ketones as any above 1.5mmol in your blood should mean you contact your clinic ASAP. Any ketones over 3.0mmol and you should go straight to A and E If you can I would try get in contact by phone with your hospital first thing in the morning and ask to be put straight...

Hi there.. you will probably need to let people know which pump you have so they give you help with the beeps :)

I am seriously considering changing my clinic and I know I can request this. Who and how do I contact my gp? by letter? or in person? I get on great with my current consultant and DSN but their hands seem to be tied by the CCG and I am getting to the point of giving up and moving clinic. I was...

In my limited knowledge of this its usually the case of what the scanner might do to your transmitter and handset rather than the cgm setting off any alarms as thecgm (and pumps) can be damaged by x-rays and very strong magnetic fields. I think you should perhaps ask animas that question...

Hi Yes it does.... I drive a small tractor as part of my work And the g4 is very useful as I can check on the go and I have set my lower alarm limit to 4.3 so I have time to correct before going too low. When driving I have it mounted on a small mobile phone holder so as before I can stop...

I self fund the G4 and have been using it since the start of July this year. I have also used a loaned medtronic guardian too. I am on novorapid and lantus injections The sensor is the part that goes under your skin, and attached to it is the transmitter which does what it says on the tin and...

You sound like me! There are somethings that may help... You must prove you have tried your best to the NHS before they'll issue a pump. That means lots of meter data... diaries etc. Email your dsn the data regularly show that you're having hypos and let them know you`re fed up with it. You...

As above... I`ve had lasering in both my eyes. My sessions started about this time last year and I was going back for more every 4 to 6 weeks there after. My last 2 sessions have been checks only .. so its getting stablised now. The worst session I personally had was the first one as I didn`t...

Hi Nicky If you check out the input website you should see that they`re holding a weekend exhibition in Truro on the weekend 5/6 October so if its not too far for you it could be worth your while going along. Input are really helpful and you`ll also be able to talk to the various pump...

I have had on very rare occaisions a disposable pen fail to inject. Usually if I cant actually press the plunger its been a problem with the needle so I change needles see if I can do an air shot ok and then inject. The combination of switching out the needle and repositioning the injection site...

I was in a similar situation to you but eventually was approved for funding and I am now waiting for the funding from my CCG. I tried everything my clinic asked me too but eventually I was approved... It is a frustrating long winded process (for me anyways) especially when you see other...

The rebound from the first hypo can be because of the liver reacting too late to the low blood sugar and converting its stored glycogen into glucose... so during the following hours the liver is "refilling" and converting glucose back into glycogen... so although you're correction ratio in...
