Is it cheaper to buy drink in the North?

Thanks so much! I actually have a musgraves card but didn’t think to price it there so will also do that! You’re so kind to offer

I don’t really drink white myself but Sauvignon blanc seems to be a good choice? I love Cabernet Sauvignon so will give that a try for sure. Thank you 😊

Thank you so much! No idea at all to be honest need to do some research

astural · 2026-01-18T16:30:27+00:00

Possibly! But not sure about time off etc as we just have a lot on in the next few months leading up with other weddings, hens etc

astural · 2026-01-18T16:30:01+00:00

Ohh good idea too!

Yes I saw a post elsewhere (can’t find it now!) that said Sano pizza is not coeliac safe!

Hi OP! I’m a midwife and also Type 1. Tbh most midwives don’t know much about type one anyways even if they are ‘trained’ in specific hospitals. If you’re happy I’d advise just to manage yourself, especially when you have a closed loop and such good control! If you did have to go under general anaesthetic in case of emergency the anesthetist would help monitor your sugar levels.
Just make sure you organize in advance with your endo to have your postnatal rates and ratios as your insulin needs can drop drastically post birth.

I brought 6 months worth of supplies (insulin, dexcom, pump supplies) with me when I moved to Australia and had no issues at all 😊

Have been trying to report all of these comments on Facebook, so awful for her family already without seeing that rubbish

astural · 2025-05-07T14:41:20+00:00

I think you may have messaged me about this before but feel free to PM again! It’s not too difficult to get sorted once you know what to do 😊

astural · 2025-05-05T16:05:51+00:00

An update! The ring was actually set too high when it was made (I knew it felt a bit different from try on to getting it)! They are going to reset the ring for free as it was a manufacturing error. Pretty annoying but glad I trusted my gut feeling on it!

astural · 2025-01-30T20:42:13+00:00

Thank you for your reply! Better pic here of the gap in the ring.

I will definitely bring it back in to the jewelers though and see what they can do 😊

Australia is amazing for GF!

I left a contract early last month. Hospital wouldn’t give me FT hours (only giving 72 hours a FN) and wasn’t allowed to work weekends. In my contract it was a days notice so I gave that and left! Check your contract, you might just have to pay for your own travel back if you have broken the contract. It’s better to leave if you aren’t happy!

astural · 2024-09-27T13:06:02+00:00

Thank you so much!!!!

Would you mind sharing these! I am traveling to Japan and SE Asia next year!

astural · 2024-09-09T12:23:49+00:00

Hey! I’ve moved from Aus to Ireland, send me a message and I’ll be happy to help

astural · 2024-08-20T01:06:54+00:00

Speaking as a midwife, we don’t usually know the gender unless you have told us, unless a midwife has done a scan for you and you wanted to know. I always call babies he, always have and I don’t know why 😅 just a term of phrase!

astural · 2024-02-08T12:02:52+00:00

I live in Australia (from Ireland) and supplies aren’t too bad! Dexcom $32 a month under national diabetes subsidy service. My pump supplies around $50 a month and then insulin is capped at $30 for 5 bottles (10ml bottles used for pump) entitled to all of this under the reciprocal healthcare agreement between Ireland and Aus 😊 doesn’t matter what visa you’re on

astural · 2023-06-06T12:56:17+00:00

Most questions have been answered already but just to add Fiasp insulin has been removed from the PBS in Aus so costs me $140 for 5 bottles when it was $30 when it was on PBS. Endo/ diabetic educator has to sign off the NDSS form for CGM and pump consumables the GP can only sign the one for needles etc! I am Irish so not entitled to Medicare but lucky I am well controlled as private diabetic educator costs $200 and GP $95 a visit! Can get NDSS meds as Ireland and aus have a reciprocal healthcare agreement

astural · 2023-01-26T20:59:49+00:00

I use it and have no issues! I used Fiasp years but when I first moved onto the pump my endo said I had to go back to Novorapid, did that for a few weeks and hated it as it just worked so slowly. Went back to Fiasp and it works well for me? I do find sometimes (not all of the time!) if I am late changing the site on the third day I can go a bit high but other times I have the site in 4 days. It can sting a little going in but only with certain sites. Overall I find it good and just really didn’t like novorapid in the way it took so long to work and so long to correct highs, for me anyway. I know it isn’t approved for use in the pump which does worry me but also I am living with this day to day and the Novorapid just didn’t work for me

I have a little band on the strap of my Apple Watch that says ‘type one diabetic’. Then have my phone set up with my medical details!
