Mine used to do this but a quick turn off/on seemed to clear it. HTH [emoji120]

Tofu - you can get the Taifun one which you can just slice & eat cold or heat. It’s flavoured. Avocado & toast. Fake bacon which takes about 3m to fry. (Plant based - in all the supermarkets). Soya yoghurt & roasted nuts. HTH

I haven’t heard anything either nor any date for a vaccine. HBA1C around 7% - nearly 50 y/o, mixed race, BMI 24 just, based in Surrey. No other conditions. Whereas a T1D friend who is younger & slimmer has a letter who lives near me! V random. ‍

Hi @Joe261985 - My Accu Chek warranty ran out last Apr and I chose to go onto the omnipod but mu delay was due to a technical error on the Dash model. I got my new pump posted end Nov and completed the training via Zoom in early Dec. HTH & hope you get it soon [emoji106]

Hi @FayeandBenito - Not sure why that’s happening to you. I use the adhesive patches from Diabetic Supplies which are the same price I think. Normally though they seem to stay on. Hope you manage to find something suitable and reasonably priced. [emoji106]

Hope you feel better very soon. [emoji253]

Thanks @becca59 - I do use Cavilon but it didn’t seem to help with the last 3 sensors. The last one being the worst. I believe, like you say, it’s the filament causing the problem. My DSN said to give it a break for now. Thank you for the reply.

Thanks @EllieM - That’s good to hear as I’ve just ordered the starter pack from Dexcom [emoji106] Sorry to hear you also had issues.

@jackois That’s interesting that you also had the same reaction. Thanks for the info - I will definitely look into it. [emoji106]

Thanks @oldgreymare I will definitely look into it. No I don’t think I’m in a high stress state or anything and consider myself pretty fit & healthy. It’s just annoying. Very painful but subsiding now. Thanks for the reply [emoji2]

Thank you @Marie 2 - that’s interesting about the Dexcom. Yes pretty sure it’s the filament part - I do get general itching too from the adhesive but the last 3 have ‘turned nasty’ right where the hole is after removing them. I managed to squeeze a load of gunk out & then rang the GP. It’s...

I’m sure other people have posted in the past and I know we’re all different but I have a nasty infected arm from the Libre. I think it’s the actual needle type central bit that has caused the problem. It’s happened twice before but this time resulted in antibiotics and antibiotic cream. My...

Had my eye test cancelled in April but managed to get it re-booked in Sept and needed my 1st pair of reading glasses! Not had retinopathy test this year though or any HBA1C. [emoji854]

@megan I use the Hid in belt which is pretty good as you can wear it in different places (round waist, hip, thigh, top half). HTH [emoji2]

Yes defo. I find in the school holidays when I’m not in my usual routine my sugars are much higher. I have to then up my basal.

My DSN has ordered mine this week as I am due a pump upgrade. Yes think it has a Freestyle testing kit & the PDM is wheee you input the info like @Clementine68 says. I tried the tester one too to see how it felt to wear it. I was very impressed as its discreet and I swim 3x a week so it’ll be...

Hi! I am hoping to get a new pump soon. My Accu Chek Insight is now out of warranty but as I’m going for the Omnipod Dash I have to wait. There’s a fault with the Dash which is due to be rectified this month. Which pumps are available? My DSN said I could choose between Omnipod, Medtronic, 2 I’d...

Okay thank you. Probably why my DSN won’t let me have it just the then. Thanks for the info. Hope u get answers soon [emoji106]

Hi @ArremisBow - Great you’ve got the Omnipod. Sorry I can’t answer your question as I have the Insight but I wondered if the fault on the Dash system was rectified? My DSN won’t let me have it until Aug which was supposedly when the fault was going to be fixed! TIA Hope all ok.

Hi all - I was hoping to switch to the Omnipod now as my 4 year warranty is up on my Accu Chek Aviva, however, my DSN has informed me of a technical issue that won’t be resolved until Aug. Hopefully it will be sorted by then. Thanks for the info @mnickle [emoji106]
