@fred_bear Hello Glen *waves* #OzDOC
Bec @sweetandsourt1
@fred_bear Glad to hear it. Recovering from food poisoning still, but okay! #ozdoc
Bec @sweetandsourt1
@OzDiabetesOC How's it going Andy? #ozdoc
Bec @sweetandsourt1
@fred_bear Horrific... first time with t1 #ozdoc
Bec @sweetandsourt1
@fred_bear Bit of a scary point where I was low for a prolonged period. But then it played nice enough. Would not recommend. #ozdoc
Bec @sweetandsourt1
@andrewcanet @OzDiabetesOC Andy, remind me. What do you do? I'm glad it went well! #ozdoc

Very quiet night isn't it! Bec, t1 7 yrs, perpetually on placement and I break the ice with shared complaining about city rail #ozdoc

Addie @Adrieanne
@fred_bear @OzDiabetesOC Hey Glen- how is Ballarat treating you? #OzDOC
Bec @sweetandsourt1
@shootinstarslou Hey Lou :) How are you? #ozdoc
Addie @Adrieanne
@fred_bear @OzDiabetesOC I'm saying the same from Brisbane actually- don't like the wind! (Mainly because my dog doesn't like it! 😉) #OzDOC
Addie @Adrieanne
@fred_bear @OzDiabetesOC That we are luckily- I'll be complaining about it in about three weeks haha #OzDOC
OzDiabetesOC #OzDOC @OzDiabetesOC
Hello, Good evening & Welcome @Adrieanne sneeking in but I caught you #OzDOC
Addie @Adrieanne
@OzDiabetesOC Hi *waves* #OzDOC
OzDiabetesOC #OzDOC @OzDiabetesOC
I’m just going to offer a few prompts to get your/our collective juices flowing, interested to see where it goes… #OpenMicNight #OzDOC
OzDiabetesOC #OzDOC @OzDiabetesOC
What's on your mind regarding your healthcare professionals? Or NDSS products? Or the availability of diabetes technology? #OzDOC
Bec @sweetandsourt1
Feeling supported by my HCPs at the moment. Tech wise... bit concerned re this medtronic recall for sets. Waiting for supplies #ozdoc
Addie @Adrieanne
@OzDiabetesOC Has anyone been affected by the recent recalls? NovoRapid and Medtronic infusion sets? #OzDOC
Bec @sweetandsourt1
@Adrieanne @OzDiabetesOC oooh novo? Just the flex pens or the insulin itself And yes to the infusion sets... running out #ozdoc
OzDiabetesOC #OzDOC @OzDiabetesOC
@sweetandsourt1 I’ve heard about this #Medtronic infusion set recall but haven’t given it much thought or even checked lot/batch no’s #OzDOC Complacent?
Bec @sweetandsourt1
@OzDiabetesOC Neither have I, but I chose the wrong time to let my supplies get down low. Orders seem to be taking longer because of the recall #ozdoc
Addie @Adrieanne
@sweetandsourt1 @OzDiabetesOC Apparently have been some batches causing inconsistencies in BGLs. Was found through a FB group and reported to manufacturer. 1/2 #OzDOC
Reality Check @MelindaSeedT1D

Dr Ashley Ng @HangryPancreas
@Adrieanne @sweetandsourt1 @OzDiabetesOC That didn't issue a recall I believe. But there was an issue with the novo echo pen earlier on #ozdoc
Bec @sweetandsourt1
@fred_bear If you don't mind my asking, was that related to the restrictions they're putting on test strips? Have they fixed that yet? :( #ozdoc
OzDiabetesOC #OzDOC @OzDiabetesOC
@MelindaSeedT1D @Adrieanne Hello, Good evening & Welcome back Melinda @MelindaSeedT1D it’s open format #OpenMicNight here tonight #OzDOC
Bec @sweetandsourt1
@Health4Diabetes @Adrieanne @OzDiabetesOC It would be hard to tell with insulin. When is it the insulin, when is it diabetes being wonky BGL wise? #ozdoc
Addie @Adrieanne
@andrewcanet @OzDiabetesOC We had an email go out at work that some batches may be affected causing BG variation #OzDOC
Addie @Adrieanne
@sweetandsourt1 @Health4Diabetes @OzDiabetesOC A very tough call to make indeed #OzDOC
Reality Check @MelindaSeedT1D
@Adrieanne @OzDiabetesOC Don't know if it's coincidental but I stopped using the recalled Medtronic sets & sugars r better. Haven't got replacements yet :( #OzDOC
David Burren @davidburren
@andrewcanet @Adrieanne @OzDiabetesOC Novo Nordisk is the manufacturer of the Novo products. #ozdoc
David Burren @davidburren
@OzDiabetesOC Just dropping in for a bit. London Grammar haven't come on stage yet. 😎 #ozdoc
Bec @sweetandsourt1
@fred_bear Wonderful to hear. Really great (if mildly conflicting for you!) #ozdoc
Reality Check @MelindaSeedT1D
@sweetandsourt1 @Health4Diabetes @Adrieanne @OzDiabetesOC I find that w most things, unless whatever it is just doesn't work at all. Background "noise" of D is too great. #OzDOC
Bec @sweetandsourt1
@davidburren @OzDiabetesOC Haha talk about commitment to #ozdoc! Go enjoy yourself!
David Burren @davidburren
@MelindaSeedT1D @Adrieanne @OzDiabetesOC Coincidental I think. #ozdoc
OzDiabetesOC #OzDOC @OzDiabetesOC
@davidburren @andrewcanet @Adrieanne Thank you David @davidburren, I was aware. Though not sure of manufacturer of Humalog @katprice23? #OzDOC
David Burren @davidburren
@OzDiabetesOC @andrewcanet @Adrieanne @katprice23 Lilly? #ozdoc
Bec @sweetandsourt1
@MelindaSeedT1D @Health4Diabetes @Adrieanne @OzDiabetesOC Totally agree. But if my sugars were ever unreadable HI all day then I'm calling broken pump/dodgy insulin #ozdoc
Reality Check @MelindaSeedT1D
@davidburren @Adrieanne @OzDiabetesOC U'd think so but it was such a weird thing. As soon as I changed the stubborn highs )10-12 mmol/l interspersed with lows stopped. #OzDOC
Addie @Adrieanne
@OzDiabetesOC @davidburren @andrewcanet @katprice23 Humalog is by Lilly #OzDOC
OzDiabetesOC #OzDOC @OzDiabetesOC
@davidburren @andrewcanet @Adrieanne @katprice23 Thank you #OzDOC I thought you were at a concert tonight David? Just asking? #OzDOC
Reality Check @MelindaSeedT1D
@sweetandsourt1 @Health4Diabetes @Adrieanne @OzDiabetesOC Oh yeah, that level is definitely something wrong with pump/infusion set. I feel like death when pump set fails. #OzDOC
Reality Check @MelindaSeedT1D
@davidburren @OzDiabetesOC @andrewcanet @Adrieanne @katprice23 Yep it's Eli Lilly #OzDOC
Bec @sweetandsourt1
@MelindaSeedT1D Jinxing myself but have never in 6 years had a medtronic set fail. I have no idea how #ozdoc
David Burren @davidburren
@MelindaSeedT1D @Adrieanne @OzDiabetesOC BTW I put some commentary about the Medtronic recall in the latest post at https://t.co/fRsrGGhGUJ #ozdoc
Reality Check @MelindaSeedT1D
@Adrieanne @andrewcanet @OzDiabetesOC Where is work? #OzDOC
David Burren @davidburren
@OzDiabetesOC @andrewcanet @Adrieanne @katprice23 The support act is done, and we're twiddling our thumbs (literally). Will disappear soon! #ozdoc
Reality Check @MelindaSeedT1D
@sweetandsourt1 the old sets failed more often, kinked cannulas. I have had couple interests of the tubing breaking off syringe at night-very crap:( #OzDOC
Bec @sweetandsourt1
@davidburren @MelindaSeedT1D @Adrieanne @OzDiabetesOC haha what a blog name. Love it #ozdoc
The Practical Diabetic (Leon Tribe) @PracticalDeeb

OzDiabetesOC #OzDOC @OzDiabetesOC
Lots of discussion on product recalls & set fails, or not. How about turning to recent news headlines mentioning diabetes? #OzDOC
The Practical Diabetic (Leon Tribe) @PracticalDeeb
@OzDiabetesOC There is currently recruitment for a trial at RNSH for T1Ds in honeymoon if anyone is interested #OzDOC
Reality Check @MelindaSeedT1D
@OzDiabetesOC I heard something that will excite you all. There's been a breakthrough! Cure in 5 years. Hahahah #OzDOC
Ming @endoman
@MelindaSeedT1D @davidburren @OzDiabetesOC @andrewcanet @Adrieanne @katprice23 And for completeness, Apidra is made by Sanofi #OzDOC
Reality Check @MelindaSeedT1D
RT @PWPillBox: @OzDiabetesOC There is currently recruitment for a trial at RNSH for T1Ds in honeymoon if anyone is interested #OzDOC
OzDiabetesOC #OzDOC @OzDiabetesOC
A jelly bean for your thoughts about the release of the Cellnovo pump in Oz… (cont) #OzDOC
Reality Check @MelindaSeedT1D
@endoman @davidburren @OzDiabetesOC @andrewcanet @Adrieanne @katprice23 They also make Lantus don't they #OzDOC
OzDiabetesOC #OzDOC @OzDiabetesOC
...administration of the NDSS for anyone still having issues, closed loop, state of healthcare overseas vs Oz? #OzDOC
Reality Check @MelindaSeedT1D
@OzDiabetesOC Cellnovo will appeal 2 those who don't like tubes. I don't like a great lump protruding from my arm. Also insulin cartridge is tiny. #OzDOC
Ming @endoman
@MelindaSeedT1D @davidburren @OzDiabetesOC @andrewcanet @Adrieanne @katprice23 Yes #OzDOC
Bec @sweetandsourt1
@OzDiabetesOC Exciting, but it looks really big... and I'm still not sure about this velcro situation. Also less precise than current pump #ozdoc
Reality Check @MelindaSeedT1D
@sweetandsourt1 @OzDiabetesOC It's not that big, but looks big stuck on your arm (I saw it at ADSADEA), the insulin cartridge is smaller than any other reservoirs #OzDOC
Dr KL @dr_kevinlee
Hi belated 👋, jetlagged still. What are the most important features if going for new pump #ozdoc
Addie @Adrieanne
@MelindaSeedT1D @andrewcanet @OzDiabetesOC Yes it is :) #OzDOC
Bec @sweetandsourt1
@MelindaSeedT1D @OzDiabetesOC Again! they're on a roll with these 5 yearly cures ;) #ozdoc
Bec @sweetandsourt1
@MelindaSeedT1D @OzDiabetesOC Does it have to go on your arm? I really don't think that is physically possible for me.. Ah thats a bit of a drawback then #ozdoc
Reality Check @MelindaSeedT1D
@sweetandsourt1 @OzDiabetesOC They claim it is as precise as others on market I think, & much more so than Omnipod. Do u have data? #OzDOC
Bec @sweetandsourt1
@MelindaSeedT1D @OzDiabetesOC Anecdotal but remember reading it was 0.05, my pump does 0.025. Please correct me if I'm off #ozdoc
OzDiabetesOC #OzDOC @OzDiabetesOC
@MelindaSeedT1D Maybe it’s a step toward implanting the pump beneath the skin like a pacemaker or not but like you I don’t like it in current form #OzDOC
Reality Check @MelindaSeedT1D
@sweetandsourt1 @OzDiabetesOC I'm not sure actually, think it would be ultra uncomfortable to put on your stomach. Sleeping? Look unsightly? #OzDOC
Reality Check @MelindaSeedT1D
@OzDiabetesOC It would need to be a lot smaller :) Some people do love the idea of no tubing though. #OzDOC
Addie @Adrieanne
@dr_kevinlee I hope it was a smooth trip home ✈️#ozdoc
Bec @sweetandsourt1
@MelindaSeedT1D @OzDiabetesOC I already look like Im smuggling a brick everywhere but yes... can't imagine it would be comfortable. Probably a no from me #ozdoc
OzDiabetesOC #OzDOC @OzDiabetesOC
@MelindaSeedT1D @sweetandsourt1 Probably by design. Can you imagine how big it would have to be if it could take a conventional reservoir? #OzDOC
Bec @sweetandsourt1
@OzDiabetesOC @MelindaSeedT1D Mmm but if Im wearing a brick, better to be a functional brick (if a bit bigger) #ozdoc
Reality Check @MelindaSeedT1D
@dr_kevinlee Welcome back! Easy 2 bolus, not t2many button presses, good customer service small size, reliability (new pumps not as rugged as old) #OzDOC
Reality Check @MelindaSeedT1D
@OzDiabetesOC @sweetandsourt1 Yeah but 4 wearing on arm, u pay price of changing res. more often. My TDD<30 & even I think reservoir on Cellnovo 2 small. #OzDOC
Bec @sweetandsourt1
@dr_kevinlee Hope you're home well :) Good product support and training is a big for me. I'm just a medtronic fangirl really. #ozdoc
Addie @Adrieanne
Have a good night everyone- thanks for the chat. #OzDOC
OzDiabetesOC #OzDOC @OzDiabetesOC
Okay, it’s been an interesting chat lots of talk on recalls and product launches. Now it’s time for closing thoughts. #OzDOC #OpenMicNight
Reality Check @MelindaSeedT1D
@sweetandsourt1 @dr_kevinlee hmm, I'm less of a fan of them than I used to be... #OzDOC
Reality Check @MelindaSeedT1D
@OzDiabetesOC Thanks for hosting Andrew, have a good week everyone #OzDOC
Dr KL @dr_kevinlee
@MelindaSeedT1D @sweetandsourt1 How about future compatibility to looping? #ozdoc
OzDiabetesOC #OzDOC @OzDiabetesOC
#ThankYou for your thoughts & company tonight it’s been a pleasure. Wishing you a safe, productive week #goodnight #signingoff #OzDOC #dlove
Bec @sweetandsourt1
@MelindaSeedT1D @dr_kevinlee Fair enough. I think despite product issues (CGM esp) they've been fantastic. But not everyones cup of tea for sure #ozdoc
Reality Check @MelindaSeedT1D
@dr_kevinlee @sweetandsourt1 Good point, just not sure how we'd b able 2 asses that?? #OzDOC
Bec @sweetandsourt1
@dr_kevinlee @MelindaSeedT1D I know precious little about the whole looping thing! Something to consider when it arrives #ozdoc
Ming @endoman
@dr_kevinlee @MelindaSeedT1D @sweetandsourt1 Are you thinking proprietry or open source? #OzDOC
Bec @sweetandsourt1
Lovely chat. Nice to be here for once. Night all! #ozdoc
Reality Check @MelindaSeedT1D
@sweetandsourt1 @dr_kevinlee Yeah, I don't know much either. #OzDOC
