Pycnogenol is quite pricey unfortunately, but i got a load when Holland and Barrett were doing one of their half price sales.

My Dr friend is adamant that everyone virtually should be taking vitamin D3. So do that too!

Because I was on anima insulin for so long, i get the magazine from IDDT. They have now branched out and help with any type of diabetes and treatment.

Jenny, who is the editor and who started the magazine and company, was an opthamologist, and before Christmas published a letter from a reader that said she had been diagnosed with slight changes…[Read more]

Yes, quite so. And I do get bubbles in the syringe, even when using warmed insulin.

I had a good idea and tried setting the new set reminder to two days, I thought I could clear the bubbles and then remind myself after one day further to change the set. But the blooming thing won’t do a reminder for one day! 2 days is the lowest it will go!

My comments on this thread were those of yore. But I am most happy that Tim has been cured.

My battery life on the 640 is a bit of a problem, perhaps I could air that here? Not very long. Only long enough if I have my screen set at awake for a paltry 3 seconds. Which have to admit hasn’t caused too many blasphemies but is a bit of a bind.

Any way of getting in on that beta testing? i so need to look at my records…
lizz commented on the post, Logging the tempestuous seas of diabetes 10 years, 10 months ago

Yes, and Java is part of the problem I seem to recall…
lizz commented on the post, Logging the tempestuous seas of diabetes 10 years, 10 months ago

Um… you have to log in to Medtronic, and use a system on their site, but my computer is a mac and they don’t make the software compatible.
lizz commented on the post, Logging the tempestuous seas of diabetes 10 years, 10 months ago

I have never logged.

My pump should log for me now I have the sensor but my computer does not sync up well with the Medtronic stupid stupid stupid site, so after trying three times I am never going to bother […]

Replying to myself here – the font size once posted is massive – just while writing it is titchy. In case anyone thinks I must be blind!

Oh, I love assembling Ikea stuff!

(Tim, this is a much nicer font, but too small for my eyes to see!)

My daughter learned to walk the day she was 9 months old. She’d been crawling and standing since […]

Hi Alison!

Yes, Tim, the reply comment typeface – it’s vile!
lizz replied to the topic Pump battery in the forum Living with type one 10 years, 11 months ago

Doesn’t happen with mine – so it must be you.

Perhaps (Oh, god, I hate this typeface, can you do anything about that?) you have that condition that means all electrical items hate you and in the end kill you in your sleep?

As for where babies come from I think you know they happen if you keep asking the question ‘is this normal?’ too often.
lizz commented on the post, The world's smallest disaster 11 years, 4 months ago

T’would be a crisis for me, have to set the CGM properly and calibrate, and I do have to do an awful lot of tests. Even the shock of leaving it behind would make me hypo or hyper, and that would impact throughout […]
lizz commented on the post, Celebrating 30 years of pancreatic service 11 years, 5 months ago

What a coincidence, I have that sort! I’ve had it for… um, 42 years, but I have NO idea when I was diagnosed, so I think you should also be congratulated on knowing the date.

I also have no complications […]

Oh – I recall that! I’m afraid military precision will probably be out, but goodish precision will be back by three months when you feel normal again. I can actually remember thinking – hang on – I feel normal! […]

Congratulations, Alison, she’s gorgeous! Enjoy that really-not-at-all-ridiculous happiness! X
lizz commented on the post, The ultimate combo: steroids, diabetes and pregnancy 11 years, 7 months ago

Brilliant. I agree – when i was pregnant (in those days without a pump and without a sensor) what i had to do was blood test every half hour and really not do much… my first pregnancy I literally stayed sitting […]

Good luck Alison, that certainly seems the most sensible thing to do – your eyes are so terribly important. X
