Mine is OK today but last week a message appeared on the app saying next time I change my libre sensor 2 my readings will automatically update every minute.

My problems are keeping them on me when it's hot outside, they just melt off me. Used skin tac and omnipod plasters which helped somewhat when I was on Rhodes last month. I emailed insulet pleading that they increase the stickiness as I'm sure lots of people experience this but no response. Soz...

I keep mine religiously in the same place. Out of house in the same pocket of my handbag, at work next to my PC, at home kitchen window ledge. Just through experience this helped me

Thanks, I was just a bit unsure as to whether I still input blood glucose level and carb amount or simply just put in carbs but it makes sense for both.

Hiya, just in case I thought I'd mention that boots do tubs of glucose lift tabs, containing 50 tabs for £3.75.

I was 21 when diagnosed, so 32 years now. Some days it's no bother & I just get on with it, other days with curve balls I could scream in frustration. Trying to maintain a mind set of OK it's been a tough day but hopefully tomorrow will better.
