Thanks for you comments everyone! If I have to take it off every hour does that mean I need to put it back on for an hour before I can take it off again to go back in the pool? Sorry if that doesn't make sense? I've only had my pump since Monday! Xx Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Thanks for all your replies!! First night sleep wasn't very good but it's what I expected I was so conscious of rolling on it or pulling it out!! I've been told that it's really hard to pull it out though!! Last night I clipped it onto my waist belt of my pjs and that seemed to work well for...

After stressing for a good 6 months about getting a pump today is finally the day!! I had built it up so much that I was pleasantly surprised this morning after my meeting with my nurse and the man from the pump company Roche! It's going to be a tough journey to start with but hopefully worth...

Lantus wasn't working so they put me on levemir in February, I still haven't managed to get that to suit me so now they want me to have a pump... I really didn't want one and have given myself loads of horror stories about them getting in the way and catching on things :( think I'm going to have...

I have 5 injections a day and to have to inject for an apple seems too much I would be having like 10 a day lol! I used to be able to eat 20g of carbs without injecting as my background insulin would cover it but that doesn't seem to work anymore :( Thanks for your response x Sent from the...

Hey everyone, I have to keep a watch on my weight so usually stick to a low carb diet and exercise every day, but no matter what I eat I am ALWAYS hungry. I know its common for diabetics to be hungry a lot but I feel so sad as I am always thinking about food! Is anyone else the same or does...

Thanks for the reply! Do you have 18 levemir am plus 18 levemir pm? Or 18 altogether? I've been told I should be on around 26 altogether but I'm already on more than that and I think I need to increase it! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

3 months ago I changed onto 5 injections a day with a split background levemir insulin, and I just can't seem to get things right, I was going low in the night so dropped my night time levemir and now I am going really high during the night around 4.00am. Can anyone help that has had the same...

I have recently been told that I need to consider maybe going onto the pump rather than my 5 injections a day! To date I have really not wanted the pump but my control is not good and after trying everything I may be forced to try the pump! What do people think that use a pump? X Sent from...

I'm exactly the same! The other night I was 22 in one hand and 15 in the other! That's a massive difference and my hands were definitely clean! It's so frustrating cos if I injected to cover the 22 I would of gone low if my blood was really 15! So confusing x Sent from the Diabetes Forum App
