I started using a TSlim & Dexcom g6 about 5 months ago. Although fiddly to change at first, I use a video to help me learn, and I'm getting on really well with them now. The Dexcom needs calibrating at the beginning, then it's accurate. I chose the Tslim over the Medtronics, because I was...

I'm using a Dexcom G6, and with this one you calibrate it in the app, just go to 'settings' then 'calibrate' and type in the finger prick reading. I've never used a Dexcom One, but if it has an app then I would have a nosey in there first. If not, maybe you could you try calling your Diabetes...

HI Garek, I'm a Dexcom user, switched over from Libre 2, as I now use an insulin pump as well. I have found that you need to calibrate the Dexcom with approx 4 finger pricks over the first day of wearing a new Dexcom device. If you also have a pump, I have found that when you change the...

Hi, I was advised by my Diabetes Team that the Dawn P is down to hormones and natural hormone fluxes - our hormones *tend to rise in the mornings when we wake. * tend to - but everyone is different and as I am menopausal some days mine only raise a little, sometimes more.

Fully agree. I've recently had a huge, lifesaving operation (called a Tpait) on the NHS. I have a friend in the US with the same diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis that I had prior to surgery. She can't even afford the insurance to see one of the specialists that I was sent to, let alone an...

Hi, I'm sorry to hear of the issues you have been experiencing. I just wanted to add that in the NHS a 'duplication of care' is a huge no-no. It is classed as a waste of time, money and very stretched resources, so pressing this point can work wonders. Best of luck, I hope it is resolved soon.

Hi, I'm a recent 3c diabetic. This happened through Total pancreatectomy with Auto Islet Cell (Tpait) transplant surgery. I wasn't diagnosed 3c until after having the Tpait surgery, although I had chronic pancreatitis for about 8 years prior to surgery. I also had a pancreatico-jejunostomy and...
