That is a really good result. Since I went on Libre, my control has been similar, where 6mmol has become normal and hypos are mostly a thing of the past. Trouble is the cost of Libre is killing me, and this weekend my last sensor ends and I have just had to go back to pure blood tests. I said...

I use the libre sensor as I like the convenience and the fact I can see my sugars levels for last 8 hours. I am a T1 Generally, sugars do rise before coming back down after meals but I agree that it’s best to have jab 10 mins before (unless sugars are already very low) One of the things I...

I know that treating diabetes is very expensive and insulin is also expensive these days and that we are fortunate to be in UK and have a NHS. It’s a fair point that new diabetes tech is expensive at first. One of by big frustrations in the intermediate period is that its an all or nothing...

I am in total agreement with everyone here who is frustrated about the lack of access to Libre sensors on NHS. Most diabetes do care deeply about looking after themselves and whoever creates these silly rules about how much you test etc to qualify (even if getting it is even an option) should...

Did you find it helped with improving your control overall Frazerl? One thing that libre has highlighted (and I check with a finger prick when neck) was that I seem to have the odd day where I can have same breakfast as anothe day, do same insulin, one day perfect, another day it’s as if I never...

The Libre will not be for everyone. If you choose not to take good care of yourself, I don't see how this device will help. I also agree that it does not matter if you are type 1 or 2. But as a Type1 user of the Libre, I can already say the frequency of testing and the detailed graph plotting...

Heading towards 4000 signatures. Would be good for people to share Mosseys link and copy on social (e.g FaceBook)

I went onto the Freestyle Libre only two days ago but already I have found benefits. It provides a great level of detail about how your glucose levels are rising and falling which gives good insights and helps with planning. The ability to scan many times a day is great, it’s so much more...
