My appointment is in March but I thought I’d better start researching more now incase I have to “present” any info to them to try and sort it out! It’s great that you’ve heard of that happening though, very encouraging…

To be honest changing my hospital would probably be a good idea, not least because it’s impossible to get in touch with them! I have emailed them to ask but it was before Christmas and I’ve had no response (pretty typical!) My pump warranty is up in March so I thought I’d better start now...

Thanks, there is but the sensors that go with it are (to me anyway!) a nightmare. I also really struggle to put them on my arms and I’m starting to get a bit of abdomen scarring. I believe that the t slim has options for different bolus settings for exercise etc. that the Omnipod doesn’t have...

Hi all, I’ve been a Medtronic user for around 18 years. (Currently on 670g & Libre 2) I’m due a new pump next month and was excited to get onto closed loop. My hospital only offers Medtronic and Omnipod/dexcom. After doing a lot of research the system I know would be best for me is the T...

Hi, just to say I have 1 frozen shoulder (left) which has been in the freezing process and completely frozen now for 20 months. It’s not painful anymore (when it was I’d never felt pain like it, it knocked me off my feet several times!) and my right is also in the early stages of freezing. I...

Just wanted to say that I feel your tiredness! I’m 36, type 1 since 13. I have a healthy BMI and diet. Been to the doctors several times over the last few years about extreme fatigue, after doing what I would call a “usual” amount of activity at work and exercise 3 times per week. One day I...

I completely agree with this, I’m self employed and unable to go back to work safely and the pressure is huge, as at the moment if I don’t go back then it’s my own choice (I’d always choose my health first) but at least if I had something official to say “you are in this group, you are allowed...

This topic is so interesting, I’m also wondering if anyone knows how long a person has had diabetes plays a part in the risk? I’m 36, well controlled but I’ve been diabetic for almost 24 years and because of that (according to my consultant) am starting to see minor signs of complications here...

Hi everyone, just wondered if any of you happen to be in a similar situation or have any advice. I’m a well controlled type 1, been diabetic since age 13 and I’m now 36. I’m also a self employed tattooist, with a studio on a high street. Obviously this means I can’t work from home during the...

Hi all, this is my first post, I’m looking to see if anyone else has had a similar experience to me. After the last two flights I’ve been on (one a couple of hours to Europe and the other a 9 hour transatlantic) I’ve experienced really high sugar levels, not only that but they have seemed to...
