    No more Combo or Insight!

    I currently use the Accuc-chek Combo pump (I love it! nearly 10years on it and never had any issues) as well as recently started the Freestyle libre 2. At my hospital check yesterday they noted they want to 'upgrade' my pump to either Medtronic 780G or Omnipod Dash - no mention of discontinuing...

    T1 and breakfast

    Hi Pilgrimmick, I did the DFNE course about 10 years ago now, before i was given the pump, and i found that to be incredibly helpful, after following what the doctors said without understanding why since being a child, it was so empowering to be able to know the causes/effects of insulin/carbs.

    T1 and breakfast

    thanks Juicyj that might be really useful, I have not thought about insulin resistance - thinking on it now if I've snacked in the morning (office loves cakes and biscuits at 10am!) then my lunch readings are higher even if i have bolused correctly - and I've added jam to toast then its also...

    Using Sweeteners

    Good morning, thank you both very much! I think trial and error might be best both for taste and for possible effect on bloods it might have for me then! I've not heard of erythritol so will definitely look into that too! Have a good day!
