DVLA should be sending you letters keeping you updated on the status of the process. Mine took 7 months 2 years ago then I was issued with a license for a year only. They gave me a 3 year license after that expired. Even if you pass the expiry date of your current license you can still drive...

Would the easiest thing to do be to work out when your on your flight when it is say 10 pm and take your insulin then?? I done a 24 hour flight last year from Australia. On boarding the flight I changed my watch to UK time and took insulin accordingly as to when I ate. Yes I had some highs and...

Re: Insulin pump It has definately improved my control. I am a lot more hypo aware and can sense if my bloods are running high. When on pens I had to eat at regular intervals and eat a certain amount of carbs, with the pump I can eat less or more if I wish and have fasting periods which help my...

Re: Insulin pump Hi Jo I started on the pump a year past christmas. At the time my hba1c was 10+. I'm now sitting at 7.0! It's the best thing I've done. I've been diabetic since I was 4, I'm now 37. It was wanting to start a family that prompted me to go for it and with a lot if hard work...

I used to be bad for lumps when I was on pens as I injected the same place all the time. Since being on the pump this hardly happens. I do a set change every 3 days and rotate sites, upper arms, bum, thighs and stomach. The divice for the insertion of the cannula is simple to use. I have a...

I've been a pump user for 18 months now and think it has been the best thing I've ever done. My control used to be really bad. My Hba1c was rarely below 12 and I didn't bother. When my husband and I decided that we want to try for a baby it was suggested that I give the pump a try. I had to show...
