Hello, I moved from West Midlands to London; and I had to change GPs and be referred to a different hospital. My new hospital team continued my pump care. You can search which hospitals are available in your new area, and ask your new GP to refer you there. As for your prescription - your GP can...

LADA is treated as T1D, I would assume you’d be running high over time in that case & not low, Like whatever treatment for T2D would eventually be ineffective then moving onto insulin

I would suggest bringing as many spares with you. Especially for emergencies. I can’t comment on how many you need, we are all different but as many as you can get because anything can happen. You’ll need to register with a doctor at a medical centre, that can take a while and once you’re...

I know my team said they’d offer an early upgrade for 780G but instead of 4 years, it’ll be 6 years.

NICE guidelines atm state type 2’s on insulin could have the sensor prescribed. No mention of blood sugar lowering tablets. However that doesn’t stop OP from trying, funding varies from CCG to another CCG.

Hello again, I’ve been trying to give more insulin during set change, and yes I’ve started pumping mid January 2020 :) I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas, stay safe as well !

Hello, I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas Long time no discussion, but I found this on instagram and it’s quite an interesting way of putting it. Any thoughts?

Hello hello, I came by to wish everyone a lovely Christmas. I’m not doing too well with diabetes and pumping, I’m shocked that I have 1 year and a month left - time has gone quick! With CGM, I’m doing okay, but set changes leaves me high for too long. Just being at 14-15mmol for 6 hours makes...

Hello tresiba is good in a sense that it’s one injection lasting much longer than levemir, but my concern is your son is quite young - sorry if I’m assuming, his hormones and growth spurs might require more insulin at different times of the day or night. Tresiba is again one injection, and it...

I mean if you heat up haribos or jelly sweets, they turn into a liquid right?

You can buy liquid glucose drinks, it’s a tiny bottle of 60ml? I think? Or you can do tiny party cans of coke, or juice cartons? They are like the perfect size to not over do the carbs. General rule is have 15g of carbs, but for me it is depending on level - at 3-4mmol I have 15g, anything...

I do both because my pump needs calibrations.

It’s either dawn phenomenon Or caffeine is known to raise BG or depending what you milked down your tea with - milk has lactose

Hmm, I have the 670, and the only thing you can change is carb ratio and AIT - active insulin time Temp basal is available in manual mode, not AM It’s not a good idea to constantly switch between the two, the pump has to learn what your needs are. It updates it’s algorithm [emoji848] So you...

Hello, I think you need to highlight and demand a c peptide test to determine how much and how little insulin you’re producing. You also need to understand that levemir isn’t designed to lower blood sugars, it’s a basal insulin that keeps your blood sugars stable through out the day. Also...

Hello, you can get the carbs and Cals app on your phone for a rough estimation, or you can buy a mini scale to take with you to weigh your food, or you can try it at home with kitchen utensils and weigh it, so for example for tablespoon of rice is so and so carbs, this can help you visual your...

From experience, coffee/ caffeine does raise BG for some people Some people experience dawn phenomenon Some people - exercise makes them high Quite possibly be a bad day, :(

As far as I’m aware, there’s only one UK company? That sells animal insulin which is Hypurin, the rest is synthetic insulin/ human insulin

Hello for me, I would define my hypos as below 5.0mmol, this gives me a chance to treat it with a piece of fruit or a biscuit. So in this case, a yogurt would be fine. You lose hypo unawareness if you’re constantly going low. I would reconsider the yogurt for your hypos, hypos are classified...

@donnellysdogs I’ve been wondering where you’ve been all this time, and when I read the title .. I couldn’t read anymore :( I’m so sorry you’re going through such a hard time! My heart completely sank :( I’m sorry I can’t offer any advice on end of life care but I absolutely agree that each care...
