Hi @BadaBing thanks for all this info, re the signal strength, this is really important I understand, something I was looking at with my daughter the other day. Is particularly important as can limit sites for pump and sensor and really have to alternate sites a lot otherwise causes problems...

Yep interested, if people fast for an entire day or two days… I tried for a full day, but agree doctor should approve if unsure… just wondering what people have tried?

Sorry @Zinadane posted after you pic, you can wear on back of your arm as well, this is where my daughter wears most the time, does pop out a little, but can also wear on side on thigh, tbh was brilliant for her, and worked a treat with levels, not perfect but really helped her a lot. Also check...

Thanks @TheSecretCarbAddict, yours sounds extremely well measured and controlled, but also almost too complicated… interested in what people actually do day to day who are onset type 2 or recently diagnosed… just the basics, but thanks for your feedback, cheers

You can also place on your stomach I believe, might hide a little more, but I totally understand you don’t want anything extrusive maybe, but think of the long term as well, you’re older than me, but things will shrink, look at the sensors, the pumps will too, I wouldn’t hold back, the...

Thanks for shared pic, that’s not so bad, in size tbh for a pump, my daughter has been using omnipods for a couple of years now, looks about same size, not perfect but she preferred that from using Medtronic pump which needed a cannula and pipe on top to connect to the pump… it’s personal...

Hi, thanks, I’m asking some questions for me reversible type 2, although nearly reversed already, but this question about my daughter who has type 1 since a teenager, hence posted in type 1 forum I hope, sorry if got that wrong!

Hi @Zinadane same for my daughter, pumps and consumables delivered directly for many years, she currently uses freestyle Libre 2 and now she is a little disappointed as asked to use dexcom g6 instead to move to closed loop system, which is great (closed loop) and will help, but upset as sensors...

My daughter had an issue a few years ago with different needles, looked the same but had a different gauge ans gave us wrong needles and just didn’t work well for her at all. I would go to any pharmacy in your area and ask for what you usually have, there are 24/7 pharmacies and we had to use...

Very interesting post, my daughter had dexcom g6 sensors today in readiness for upgrade to omnipod 5, (currently she uses the older omnipod and freestyle 2) a little disappointed as she currently has Libre 2 and dexcom much larger footprint which she doesn’t like at all… wondering why not Libre...

Hi, I had similar symptoms, waking up in the night and just felt generally groggy a lot of the time. Sometimes also feeling lightheaded… this started last year. I’ve realised lockdown wasn’t good for me, working at home, sat down too long at desk and bad eating habits, not eating lots, but all...

Does anyone fast for a day or more during the week to help with remission for type 2 diabetes? If you have, did this help? And how often per week and for how long? Thanks

Does anyone receive Dexcom G7 or Freestyle Libre 2 PLUS or 3 on NHS? Thanks

Just joined this forum as have some questions to ask, but came across this post… totally agree with the above answer, need to test HbA1c, I’ve learnt that sometimes you have to ask the doctors to check these things and need to ask, they do usually check for this with a full blood checkup I...
