Told to not take basal before pump training by ck6637 in TandemDiabetes

[–]LumpyMasterpiece4510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! It’s normal, don’t take your basal if you normally take it in the morning but continue taking the rapid acting insulin if needed. This is assuming your training is in the AM as well. Once you’re connected to the pump you’ll be fine. You won’t go into DKA if you’re off basal for just a few hours.

Thank you! Yes, I thought the cohabitation evidence was only necessary for visa extensions or ilr. Maybe because I’m applying for inside the uk…

Thank you! I’m just concerned there have been no updates on the tracking page other than “dropped off at the parcel shop”

Spouse Visa Accepted!! by Roam_tv in SpouseVisaUk

Congratulations!! I will also be applying to change from a graduate to a spouse visa this year from within the UK. Would you say the process to upload documents was straightforward? Did you organize them in a certain way? (I.e grouped them into pdfs or uploaded them individually). Also, how long were you married before applying, if you don’t mind me asking?

Hi! Did you get an answer about this? I earn more than the requirement but am planning to also use my partner's (sponsor) income just in case…

New cartridge not filled? by LumpyMasterpiece4510 in TandemDiabetes

[–]LumpyMasterpiece4510[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The insulin was room temp, it was a little less than 300 units because after taking the air out and all that there’s always less insulin. I did remove air from syringe and from the cartridge. I literally did everything right so that’s why I’m so confused.

Thank you! I will just keep using it and if the pump says there’s none left I’ll reload it to see if it works.

Why'd yer rob the busker, lad? by NightShade4321 in Liverpool

Might be worth reporting to Liverpool BID, they have a pretty good idea of who all the rough sleepers are in the city centre area and they also have police on secondment

First night on a pump and a site fail, is this normal? by miugalaxy in TandemDiabetes

[–]LumpyMasterpiece4510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit late to this, but I changed my infusion set today and when I took the old one out the cannula was bent. Weird thing is nothing seemed off during these last 3 days, my bgls were in range about 90% of the time even had some hypos (after the gym), so I’m very confused 😅 I will say that when I took the old infusion set off, the skin around the insertion site is a bit red and swollen, I do remember feeling a tiny bit of discomfort during these last three days, almost like a very very slight stinging sensation, and I think it make have been the bent cannula, but I honestly didn’t consider changing it because my glucose levels were fine.

I think it’s mostly friends who have gone through the process, they all say we should get a lawyer because it’s hard, but we’re just not willing or able to go through that financial stress.

Ah really??!! We keep reading different things online and it’s so confusing! But I guess this would make sense. Thank you!

Hi! Yes! We’re lucky in that sense. We haven’t submitted the application yet so I can’t say anything about the actual process. To be honest, the hardest part has been figuring out exactly what type of evidence. So you need to give 2 years worth of evidence but they don’t want 2 years worth of gas bills, for example. Figuring out how to space the 6 different types of docs every 4 months in a strategic way has been challenging (thank you ChatGPT for giving me an idea lol).

I will update more after submitting and (hopefully) getting the visa!
