    Type 1 and fasting

    I do 8pm - 12pm fasting most days with just coffee in the morning. I use an insulin pump and so I have absolutely no issues with Ketoacidosis or Dawn Phenomenon. If you do Basal/Bolus as the others say, you may have to adjust some things.

    I put it all in general waste. How do you extract the needle?!?

    Type 1 (pump) and cortisone injection

    I think something like this is always useful, so no worries about bumping it up. It wasn't that long ago, that I posted first anyway. So, my experience tells me that once you get your BGs back down, it will be much easier to keep them there with an increase in both basal rate and bolus. I don't...

    Type 1 (pump) and cortisone injection

I have had Type 1 for 28 years (oh my, that seems like so long!) and have used a pump (now filled with Fiasp) for 14 years, since trying to get pregnant (and succeeding) while living in Germany. Needless to say, I am quite experienced. I had a procedure on my shoulder on Thursday after...

    Libre 3 or Dexcom 7 for newly diagnosed child

    I use the L2 so I can’t say anything about the L3 and readers, but I actually prefer the reader, at least for when I’m at home. It’s faster and I can set it to vibrate, which I find less disruptive (the alarm on the phone is REALLY loud and I can’t seem to set it to vibrate or a quieter alarm...

    Automated repeat prescription

    I use LloydsDirect and you can set your usage and they will remind you to request the prescription. You can then click on the medication you need and they send a note to your GP to set the ball rolling. They have been really slow on getting Libre2 sensors though (gave up last time and this time...
