Hi, I've just gone onto the medtronic e-shop to order my (NHS-funded) consumables as I always do, and the prices are showing (usually they aren't) and it's saying I need to pay for my order. Is this happening to anyone else or is it just me? Thanks :)

Hello, I'm just wondering what other people's experiences with coeliac testing are. I'm pretty sure I've always been tested for coeliac disease on a yearly basis, either at the (hospital) diabetes clinic or at my GPs yearly diabetes check up, I'm not sure when it was last done as I changed...

Hello, Advice needed please! Last year I signed up for the free Dexcom trial, received the kit, put it in the cupboard and promptly forgot about it! (was waiting for my new pump and training at the time) :nailbiting: I found it the other day and the box says it has expired (November 2021), I'm...

Hello everyone, hope you're all well :) Disclaimer: I did a search but the word 'eye' was not liked by the search function so all the results were for 'tests' :rolleyes: Apologies if this has been asked many times already. Anyway I'm overdue for an eye test, like a normal eye test you have at...

I'm almost at the end of my 2nd libre 2 sensor and the lost signal alarms are driving me mad. I use the reader and it's forever vibrating at me. Sometimes I'm in another room but sometimes it's on the sofa next to me. Today I scanned, went into the kitchen and 3-4 minutes later it was vibrating...

Hello, just interested in other people's experiences/opinions really. I was diagnosed 23 years ago and although technology etc has made control and living with diabetes easier, I have found that the longer I have diabetes the more difficult it gets. I mentioned this to my DSN and she said...

Hello! So I've been using a pump since 2012, diagnosed 1997. I've never done a DAFNE course, despite wanting to and I'm struggling with bolusing for meals*. I changed hospitals last year and at the old hospital the person who did the pump DAFNE had retired and they didn't want me to do the...

Hiya, sorry I appreciate variations on this question have been asked many times but I'm looking for some guidance. I'm still fairly new to the libre, I have been using it since the end of May. My current libre sensor is between 2 and 5mmol out, I can't speak to Abbott until Monday, do I keep it...

I've just noticed that the back of my pump is cracked and I can't get through to anyone at Medtronic (after going through the menu options it tells me that they are open business days until 6pm, then tells me to hang up) From a quick google I see that it affects the waterproofing but I'm...

Does anyone know what happens with the warranty if you get a replacement pump from Medtronic? I got my 640g in 2016 and had to have it replaced in 2018 because of a fault, I'm confused about whether I need a new pump this year because the warranty of the original 640g runs out, or do I need a...

Hello everyone, I'm going on holiday in a few weeks and will be flying with Easyjet. I'm a bit worried about their hand luggage rules, which state Cabin space is limited and there’s only room for up to 70 cabin bags so the overhead lockers fill up quickly. All remaining cabin bags will be put...

Hello, I need some help! I'm type 1, diagnosed 21 years ago, use novorapid in a pump since 2012 which I met the criteria for because I lost hypo awareness and was having fits from night time hypos. Anyway lately my body clock has been very messed up, typically I am going to bed at 4am and...

Hello, I have type 1 and use an insulin pump. I go to a diabetes clinic at the hospital and have only once gone to a diabetes clinic at a GP surgery, before I was referred to the hospital clinic after moving house. It was a waste of time. I didn't use a pump at that point. I moved to a different...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone here has lichen sclerosus? I am back at the doctors next week to hopefully get a diagnosis but my GP suspects I have LS and at the moment I fear she is correct. I am feeling quite down about it so no horror stories please! :)

Hello, I have been a lurker for a little while but thought I should start posting. I am 30 and have type 1 diabetes. I was diagnosed nearly 21 years ago and have been using a pump since 2012. I live in Newcastle upon Tyne but the diabetes clinic I attend is in Durham, where I used to live. I...
