Hello all! I’ve come onto the forum as a diabetic for 9 years now. I was diagnosed at age 9 and I’m here to give my story and experiences so others can learn from my mistakes! My favourite hypo treatment is a mini cola (exactly 15cg!!!) Pumps I’ve had: Minimed 640g (twice) AccuChek Solo I am...

Iain Byrne Hi all, I am a long standing type 1 and have been on Lantus and Novorapid for 28 years. I have only recently started CGM with Dexcom 1+ and would like a little advice. Post prandial highs - I regularly get highs of around 12 - 13 post meals, how soon should you react to these events...

Hi all, I’ve been using the Guardian sensor 4 for the past month, and the 780g Medtronic pump for many years. I’m due to have my virtual Smartguard training on Tuesday to activate the closed loop system, however am slightly confused by one of the tasks I’m due to complete beforehand. I am...

We Need Your Insights! As a requirement for the MBA program by University of Bath, School of Management, we need to undertake a consulting project, known as the Integrated Project (to be worked on during the summer). In this regard, we are working with Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon...

Hello everyone! I would really appreciate it if you could take a couple of minutes to fill out this questionnaire on driving with type one diabetes. The aim of these responses is to gauge how diabetics find driving; how technology is used to check blood sugars whilst driving; how hypos...

Hello all, Sorry if I'm the 100th person to post or ask this question, but I'm unable to get a solid answer! Since the last LibreLink (iPhone) update I no longer receive CGM updates, have to manually scan again and the app continuously shows a bluetooth error. Is this the same for...

Hi there Looking to see if there are other people in my area who are fans of tech - how's it going getting it here? - how are you using it? I've had a pump for nearly 10 years - on the back of trying to get pregnant! Was on a pregnancy clinical trial for closed loop back in 2015-16. Ooh it's...

I’ve tried the freestyle libre through their free trial, and like it’s small size, especially how slim it is. I can’t find the dimensions of the Dexcom one anywhere, and wondered if anyone who has used both can tell me how they compare? Any feedback on apps would be useful as well, with the...

Are there any fellow Type 1 Diabetics here who have managed to get an NHS prescription for a Dexcom G6 or G7? Until recently I was living in London, where my diabetes clinic (Charing Cross) totally refused to prescribe either of these for me. I was only offered Freestyle Libre 2 or Dexcom ONE...

I had posted these in the General Messages part as bits of my everyday posts and chat but it was pointed out that they might be useful spun off into their own thread. So here's that thread. This is initially going to be cut and pasted copy from the general chat/7 days waking average thread and...

Hi all, Recently I've noticed fairly large discrepancies between my libre 2 CGM and when I validate with a finger prick test. Yesterday I was reading 10.3 through libre but when I tested I was 7.1. Now I am 4.1 but my libre is higher at 5.4. I've never seen a difference of more than 0.5...

I’ve noticed we’ve took a step to relying on AI for our type one needs, being closed loop. However, we need to set the conditions for the AI: the sensitivity factor. Is there any way in the future for AI to micro analyze our bloods and make basal adjustment recommendations on that. So if there...

hi everyone, i’m not sure how this works as i’m new here lol but i’m needing some advice. i’m currently on the medtronic 780g with guardian 4 sensor. everything was fine since i started but ever since being in smartguard, the sensor will suddenly disconnect and will just show “- - -“ on my pump...

Hi Everyone I thought Id share some experience with the Tslim with control iq and Dexcom sensor. After being on the usual therapy's for many years and a recent visit to my Doc in March I decided to give a pump another go and I have to say I'm truly amazed with this pump and sensor, a couple of...

hello in November the guidance to NICE for CGM funding on NHS was changed to make it easier to get one. anyone in a CCG that has agreed to give them one?

Hi All, I've posted before about how I was using the Dexcom G6 CGM and I thought it was really good. I've since tried the Freestyle Libre one but I wasn't really happy with having to scan the device to get the results each time. I'm a software developer and I was planning on doing a demo...

I was genuinely astounded to read this evening the story of Carbometrics. I've searched the fora here and see that others had already commented on the Bristol University spin-out in the last 24-36 months regarding their concept and acquisition by Novo Nordisk (smart move on their part). Those...

I am sending back the pump so I thought I would share some of my experience. The pump has completely changed my Diabetic journey, I have gone from 1-2 Hypo events per day to only one in the last 3 months, my time in range has dramatically improved from 30-40% up to more than 90% TIR and my HbA1c...

The story (and their website) doesn't give me any clues about what on earth they might be talking about. (They refer to RF and sometimes skin sensors. Presumably they have something in mind, but I wouldn't be surprised if we never hear from them again.)...
