Hello all, I am in a bit of state and would really appreciate some insight or experience from other people who are using the 780g. Is there anybody on the 780g who have decided to use it only in manual mode? I was previously on the Medtronic 640g pump with Freestyle Libre 2 sensors. I have...

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone has had higher blood sugar readings after a COVID infection. I had COVID for 2 weeks in December and my fasting sugar went up to ~10. I was not too worried as I know illness will send it up but I have been testing negative now for 3 weeks and it hasn't come...

Dear type 1 community. I've had weird BG oscillations since the beginning of this year. I even switched from Lantus to Tresiba as my body stopped responding to Lantus but, after a few months, I realized that my BG shoots up (oscillates btw 10-16mql/ml) exactly 10 days before my period (and in...

Hello everyone, I'm looking for some advice. I have been a type two diabetic for 20+ years and for 10 years I controlled it with meds and diet then my readings started to drift higher and I was put on to insulin twice a day. This brought my readings back down to around the 7-8 mark in the...

Hello everyone, I’ve been Type 1 for around 5-6 months now and I got diagnosed rather quickly compared to how long it can take a lot of people, lucky I found it whilst doing routine checks so caught it early. Ever since I’ve been in pretty good control constantly, sitting mainly around...

I’ve noticed a couple times that my monitor sometimes just reads HI when I test my blood sugars (not very often but it’s happened a couple times) and I was wondering if it’s just a glitch or something?? Does it actually mean anything??

Hi! New to the forums, I'm Type 1 and injecting Novorapid for meals and Lantus in the evening. I'm trying to tackle my high sugars in the mornings. I recently saw a diabetes dietician and she suggested I make a switch from my usual breakfast bars of about 30g of carbs to something with low GI...

I have been struggling to keep my bg below 12 for the past few days. Today for example... I wake and test 14.1, so I take a correction of 10units of Novo. About an hour later I have a cup of tea with 2 sugars and do a test 8.4 Another hour another test 4.8 (yay) Another hour 6.1 (I haven't had...

Hi, I was diagnosed with type one a couple of weeks ago. I ate about an hour and a half ago and took 6 units of novorapid I tested my finger before dinner and was about a 7mmol/l. About 15 minutes ago I had symptoms of a hypo when I tested my finger I was 15.1mmol/l however my freestyle libre...

I've been diagnosed with Type 1 for 6 weeks and am on Levemir (8u/5u) and Novorapid (3u/3u/3u). I've been getting BG readings of 10-14 before meals, even though I'm eating small, low carb, low GI meals and waiting up to 6 hours between meals - despite being desperate to snack! Is there anyone...
