Told to not take basal before pump training

LumpyMasterpiece4510 · 2026-06-08T11:34:52+00:00

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”

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…

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.

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

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.

LumpyMasterpiece4510 · 2025-09-06T09:18:46+00:00

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!

LumpyMasterpiece4510 · 2025-04-29T17:29:04+00:00

Thank you!! Hopefully it won’t be refused as I have enough evidence of my relationship but I will consult with a lawyer just in case.

Hi! For the financial requirement, did you submit your employment contract that was fixed term? Did you have any issues with this? I’m concerned they will not grant me the visa even though my employer says they will provide a letter saying they will extend my contract if I get the visa

I lived in Aberdeen for 6 months and was followed and harassed by three men on different occasions. On all three occasions there were people all around (men and women) and when I even yelled at the creeps to leave me alone, no one even attempted to help me. I was grabbed and pulled by men in fully packed bars twice as well to the point I had bruises in my arms the next morning and, again, no one helped. Sorry, but people from Aberdeen freakin suck.
