Hi guys, I’m about to travel by bus for 2 days from the UK to Spain and I’ve left it last minute to organise a way to keep my insulin cool. Are there any pharmacies that sell little cooler bags? Any home-made lunch box remedies? Let me know your hacks and go-tos please!

Hi all, I'm from Australia originally and have been travelling in the UK for the last few months and haven't had any trouble getting insulin through the NHS. I'm off to Spain and potentially some other European/Northern African/Mediterranean countries shortly and I'll definitely stock up before...

Hi, I'm upgrading from the Medtronic 640g and was just about sold on the 780g when my educator told me about the Ypsomed. It's a bit more difficult to find reviews and info so what are your experiences with it? Specifically with the closed loop system, auto-bolus, alarms, etc. Are there any...

Any links to read about Rachel Chalmers? Couldn't find anything online.

I always change my infusion set (Minimed Mio) every 2-3 days as recommended. However I completely forgot yesterday and now on day 4 my blood sugars (despite eating close to no carb all day and going for a long walk) have been floating above target (around 10). Is it possible/likely that...

Any suggestions for the best Instagram/Twitter/etc accounts to follow for T1 related content? Magazines or mailing lists recommends would be helpful too. I feel a bit out of the loop and use these socials a lot so figured I should follow some good accounts to keep updated with news, research...

Thank you, will do this. Just need to find one that’s not overloaded!

Hi guys. I’m currently visiting the UK from Aussie. I didn’t anticipate I’d be gone this long (coming up on 6 months) and really want to get an Hba1c done to keep monitoring. I know you can buy at home tests but they’re quite ££. I am registered with the NHS so am wondering if it’s feasible to...

Yep went privately, that would explain it. Will see how long it takes to register through the NHS. Thank you

Ok great, looking into it now. Went to one surgery in Oxford and they told me 3 weeks to register so will see if any can get me signed up quicker!

Good idea, will do thank you.

Ok interesting! Already have some of the flexi pens, mostly keen to get more vials so will call around and see. Thanks for your help.

Hey guys. Just got a script here in England for 10x vials of Fiasp and they said it would cost 200 pounds. If possible I'm just going to see if I can have it shipped by my family from home (Australia). Does anyone know if it is possible to post insulin overseas to the UK? Unless anyone knows...

Hi guys, I'm visiting for Australia and will probably be in England for about 2-3 months on a visitor visa. I'm going to have to get some more supplies (I use the minimed reservoirs and mio infusion sets). We normally buy them at the chemist back home but I just went to a local pharmacy here in...

I've been a diabetic for 6 years - my hypo warnings are pretty good, and I have been running a bit high recently so that's a possibility. It was just odd as I've never experienced anything like that before.

Had an odd experience on public transport this morning. I caught the train around 7, feeling fine. After about 20 minutes I started feeling really sick all of a sudden, just before my stop I was convinced I would throw up before I could get off. I stumbled off, felt very dizzy and my vision went...
