He is following the rules though......he is complaining that after following the rules the declared have still not renewed his license. You don't need to be eating every half hour either if you are a type 1 and you background insulin is correct you don't need to eat anything to keep your bg...

Lol that's a very valid reason, I haven't manually inserted the new ones as the needle is hidden away to start with and then folded out using the device. I did the older style one without the device and had no issues

Noblehead beat me to it lol

I agree about the pump but not about the MDI and not getting fed up with it. I've had my pump for around 9months now and love it. My main reason for wanting a pump was to help with control as I struggled no matter how hard I was trying to get in the right zone using MDI. I was doing in the...

I'm using the same as @lisacp and having no issues. Out of interest why don't you want to use the device? I'm using it as its offered as a default and I find it pretty useful and easy to use

Sounds strange could be you are super sensitive to insulin around that time? I don't normally have any insulin for soup unless it's got potatoes or if it's a soup with sugar like tomato. Have you been off work during the week? If you have does it do the same? Could also try the same routine on a...

I agree with Andrew, have you tried keeping a feed diary? I find I graze more at the weekends compared to when I'm at work and also drink a lot more coffee Monday to Friday. I take it your carb counting have you tried reducing the ratio of your lunch time dose? Might be more sensitive to insulin...

I have the medical symbol on the top of my back don't have any diabetic info on it though as i thought no one would really pay any attention to it. Thought about getting something added to it to say I'm type 1 but seein as i have a few other tattoos already and probably goin to end up with both...

Didn't say i was hiding away due to me feeling uncomfortable or embarrassed :eh: said it was to save the random sitting close to me feeling uncomfortable these are 2 totally different things, i also didn't say the only place was the toilet i said that's what i did. How do you know they don't...

there is no reason why you shouldnt do you injection in your seat but at the same time whats wrong with someone wanting to go to the toilet and do it? not lookin to cause a dibate but just wondering, i used to goto the toilet incase i made some people feel uncomfterble(i suck at spellin by the...

last time i flew(a good few years ago now) i just informed one of the flight crew i was an insulin dependant diabetic and i would have to be injecting. they offered for me to goto the rear of the plane in their area to take my insulin if i wanted but i told them i would probably just take it in...

yes mine normally spiked up that high afterwards and thats what i was told it was, i get high reading(as high as 16-24) alot so nothing new to me at the moment :-(

i have done this a couple of times and just limited that amount of apple juice i added to it. my readings were showing higher than normal but it was what i thought would happen as fruit puts sugar up and its just that but in a liquid. the last time i had some i took some insuling about 20mins...
