    Iphone Fuss

    Agreed! I don't like the pc version of the forum, always use my phone to access even when sitting at my desk! That said, I'm an iPhone lover. Not a complete Apple fanatic though. I love the iPhone, enjoy the fruit, but can't get my head around the laptops or desktops!

    Pump or injections

    I was only on injections for 18 months before getting my pump, but I love it. It allows for smaller dose increments which makes its easier to control my insulin rather than rounding up or down. In the 7 months I've had it ive reduced my hypos considerably. You have to be diligent about set...

    FREESTYLE LIBRE ON SALE!!!!

    Agreed! My sensor is a complete waste of time right now as it's just all over the place, but the knowledge ice gained from previous sensors means I'm more confident in knowing what way I'm trending using just a BG test

    FREESTYLE LIBRE ON SALE!!!!

    Facebook has good reports of thigh sites. It could just be mine is a dodgy sensor. Over winter I'll go back to using my arms but during summer i managing I'll be experimenting again. By then the dodgy sensor issues should be all ironed out!

    FREESTYLE LIBRE ON SALE!!!!

    So I've had my sensor in stomach for about 9 days. First few were fine, but since then it's been awful. Unpredictable and generally useless. I've resisted phoning abbott as I don't think they'll care since its in my stomach. I believe it is probably just a faulty sensor rather than the site...

    FREESTYLE LIBRE ON SALE!!!!

    My 2nd sensor ended yesterday. I inserted the 3rd sensor into my stomach on Sunday early afternoon in the hope it would settle before starting it around 6pm yesterday. It has been accurate to within 0.5 mmol/l since I started it. I'll definitely be inserting a day early in future! As for the...

    Oil and Gas and Type 1

    I've stopped pushing for now, with the job cuts right now it's safer to not make a scene until it's all over! Do know fellow pumper from clinic who was booked to go offshore in November, haven't spoken to him to know if it went ahead or not.

    Advice on first time car insurance

    Insurance doesn't care that she is diabetic, it didn't add anything to my insurance! Just the DVLA only give you maximum of a 3 year license as a diabetic. If you have a child I recommend a 4 door car if you can stretch to it. SO MUCH EASIER for getting little ones in and out of car seats...

    Only certain people aloud a pump?

    I'm one of those noblehead was talking about :) My consultant decided I was eligible. My control wasn't poor, but I did get some fairly extreme hypos from exercise (reading of LO on the meter). I was fully aware of these lows and treated all without any help. I am also 25 and getting married in...
