I've had an Animas pump for 4 years & am about to switch to a new Animas Vibe in 2 days as it's out of warranty. I phoned to request new supplies & Animas say that due to changes in postage regulations they can no longer supply the Duracell Energiser Lithium AA batteries & patients need to buy...

I've just got a Bayer Contour Next USB meter, with Contour Next test strips. They were tested for their accuracy & got very good results. They tested 100 samples of blood that were >4.2mmol/L in the lab to get a lab glucose value, then tested the same blood on 3 different Contour Next test...

I post on another forum, and one of the members posted this link - it's him (the 2nd guy) & another long term type 1 diabetic talking about their experiences of the disease over the 67 & 70 years they've had it. It lasts just over an hour, and if you're short on time I'd just listen to the 2nd...

I've been eating reduced carbs for about 6weeks, around 100g a day, and overall it had improved my post meal BG spikes, but not all the time. I'm type 1, on a pump, last HbA1c 54 but I know it swings up & down & want things to be more steady. I've been reading Dr Bernstein's diabetes solution...

I've been trying low carb pizza base recipes, and haven't yet found one that's quite right. WhitbyJet gave me a great one but it involved guar gum, and having done a google search, it seems to cost around £10 for a pack. This seems a bit steep, and I was wondering what it does & whether I could...
