yes that's fine.

haha all about the looks nevermind the functionality... I am leaning towards the accuchek insight as this seems to have more positive reviews from pumpers.... even though i think its a close call between the two. i know i could get the ypsomed mylife sooner than the insight so i won't rule it...

BTW which pump do you have?

ooooh that's wonderful!!!! I am so excited. Literally on a high since they told me yesterday. So pleased for you! You're literally flying at life

thank you, i am thrilled. It was Accu chek Combo.

Thank you! I have read this - still confused.com

Hi all, I am hoping that you're knowledge and experience will help me with this. I have been type 1 for 10 1/2 years now and have been approved for a pump. I am over the moon as I understand it is a game changer. I am very excited to get going with it and start living again. I have been...

Hi there tylers73, I have experienced the exact same thing. I would set my alarm the next night to check my bs levels which were fine. The consultant at the hospital thought the night sweats were down to hypos but I felt it was more hormones. So tested for menopause but results were normal. We...

Bless your heart. You're so not alone, we all felt like this when first diagnosed. It's really hard for people who don't suffer with the disease or who don't know anything about it to understand what it's like. I remember feeling exactly like you do 7 years ago and it took a long time for me...

Being diabetic and trying to control it is like walking a tight rope blind folded. It's like having someone else to look after. It's definitely not black and white and despite ones best intentions diabetes does what it wants. If there was any kind of pattern we would all be living life to that...

Hi there, I'm writing this without having read all the posts so I apologise if I am repeating what someone else has said. I've been type 1 for 7 years now and still honey mooning. My carb insulin ratio goes from 1 - 1 to 1 - 9 over a few weeks. It's very frustrating and with such a major...

Yes that has happened to me but usually because of too much insulin for the meal or I exercised straight after. Carb counting is never accurate for me. I find its more like carb guessing. Try and keep a note of what you eat and what you inject so you can see how different foods affect your bs. X

Thanks mo and charles. Its a strange beast this diabetes. I have done some testing of ratios and it seems that I have gone from I unit of insulin for every 10g of carbs to 5 units of insulin for 10g. I have eaten very small meals as the increased insulin rerequirements are big and its not...

Hi folks, I've been type 1 for 5 1/2 years now and whilst it hasn't been easy I have always been able to carb count 10g of carbs for 1 unit of insulin. It has meant that I could have a treat and control my blood sugars. for the last month things have changed and I have no idea how much...
