Hi all My pump is due for renewal imminently and I’m stuck as to what to get! I have ongoing Dexcom G6 funding from my trust and the choice of omnipod, ypsopump and Medtrum. I’m currently on omnipod and really like the tubeless patch pump. I’m not going for ypsopump because their app and...

Hi all I've recently found out that I'm around 5 weeks pregnant, following a miscarriage earlier in the year. I'm very excited but also super scared. I've undertaken pre pregnancy counselling earlier in the year as you should and have my first antenatal appointment booked. The past week, my...

Hi everyone, About 2 weeks ago I’ve suddenly started having almost daily hypos, down to 2.2 at times, and I can’t pinpoint it on anything!!! My control has always been pretty good (hba1c in early June was 49) but regular evening highs after larger carby meals - but they always come back down...

Hi all, I am now on antibiotics after an Omnipod change on the back of my arm- changed it as normal in the evening, put a new pod on the other arm, and woke up the next morning with an aching arm, a warm hard and red abscess type sore where the cannula was and a very swollen, starting to track...

I'm having one of those days when nothing works out. Almost daily im having a double digit reading these days, despite adjusting my pump dosage, insulin sensitivity, and carb counting religiously. Everyone else's results seem to be perfect in comparison to mine! I'm sick of the fact that I can't...

Hi everyone. Thanks so much for your help and I will try the smaller plate option! I have my thyrpid checked every month or so and my last reading was normal apparently- though I still always feel exhausted and tired!

Hi everyone! Ive been pumping on novorapid since December 2012 and have noticed that my average daily dose (basal of approx 30units per day) is about 65-70 units in total... I have put weight on in the last year especially (about a stone)- would this mean I need more insulin? I'm desperate to...

Hi everyone! I started on my Accu-Chek Spirit Combo pump about 2 weeks ago and am having a rollercoaster of a time. I have been as high as 21.0 through boluses not being added up properly and rubbish carb counting, and sometimes down to 3 in the middle of the night. Just as I thought I had...
