Sorry for the language but I was ****** off

Well it explains my ******* erratic sugars which has sent my mind boggling.professionals eh. ******* armatures not happy but what can a do? Nothing it's all on the NHS

The pump was every answer to every question I ever had and was thankfully never on a waiting list for it. I was given it within a matter of months but did have to put in the work with carb counting classes and a better understanding of how our weird and wonderful bodies work in relation to...

I will back this up 100%. Was diagnosed as a child aged 8. ( now 33 years old) never really cared for my diabetes through my teenage years and into my late 20's. I am now in a rehab hub centre and on an insulin pump which has been the best thing I've ever done.

Don't really know much about other pumps but I have the Medtronic and pretty sure they will all be in par with each other bulk wise as u need kinda the same changing gear but I may be wrong. If i were u I'd stick with what I'm using as know how long it took me to adjust even after changing sets...

Well I was told I can have my pump OFF for up to an hour and its still safe and won't send sugars crazy high as its only basal being pumped which in my case is micro units every 10 mins with Medtronic pump

Re: Blood monitoring at work Being diabetic for 25 years I take it in my stride and will honestly inject or test my blood anywhere at all, infront of anyone!! Injecting myself infront of anyone would never bother me. If they want to stare let them! Then if they want to ask any questions u have...

Government must be pushing them cos of more funding as I have been on mine for 6 months now. Didn't know much about them before they recommended it for me. My lantus wasn't working the way it was during the day and giving hypos during sleeping. With the pump the basal is set to how your body...

I was on the same 1 unit to grams carb and my correction was 1 unit dropped 3 mmls

Re: How long does it take to get use to the pump when you ge I agree with the above it takes a couple of weeks to get into the swing of it and a couple of months thereafter adjusting basal as to how ur body reacts to carbs and novo rapid. Good luck bug u won't need it. Best thing av done

Re: Who is the pump for I'm 33 and been type 1 for 25 years

Re: Who is the pump for I got the pump 6 months ago and it's not for diabetics who have bad control. I was recommended by my dietician as my lantus basal was working perfectly during the day but making my BG plummet when sleeping. Didn't they do well NO MORE NIGHT TIME HYPO's.

Medtronic sent me them last month fine too riri. Stefano if u ask Medtronic next time u order inserted etc they will send u free batteries

I've been type 1 since I can remember and am 32 only been in the pump for 6 months. YOU MUST GET ANOTHER BG MONITOR AS ITS VITAL INFORMATION IT SENDS AND SAVES ON YOUR PUMP. The pump wasn't an option when I was ur age and u are so lucky to have 1. Best things to eat are things out shops with...

Re: I have lower my insulin but i still go to hypo ... Then It's not healthy for anyone not to eat at least 100g of carbs a day at least. This is what your liver needs to have ur back up glucose emergency supply ( basically if u are hypo ur liver will do its best to sort it out) but if u don't...

I think anyone who is a type 1 parent with a type 1 child should be proud and feel they can look after that child betted than a non type 1 as u surely have more background knoledge

U go out and enjoy ur night as everyone else will . Just make sure u check blood bigoted bed or keep readings slightly higher than normal as we all know eating a 10g-20g carb snack with no insulin before bed when alcohol is involved is a good idea

I would say definately yes but this is only cos I am on the insulin pump and docs say if u know the carbs in what u put down ur throat u can eat or drink it no with no problem

No no no!! I'm a chef and have a completely different method and would use cellery added to your engridients but hey each an to their own and if it tastes good well good on ye

I've been on the pump for 4 months now. Have been type 1 for 25 years so been through many changes through the times of insulins changing. I had to do a bit of work before being fitted with the pump but its worth it in the end. It's pretty weird to start in the 1st week but I was advised to take...
