Is anyone else getting an allergic reaction when using the libre sensors? The last 3 have done exactly the same thing. Regards Lee

Sorry my mistake. It should of said have been..

Morning I need a little advice. My daughter is 5 years old and we have been testing her blood sugars and they are between 6.0 and 8.5. Do you think I need to get her checked out by doctors to see if she has diabetes? I am a type 1 diabetic for 26 years but still after a little advice. Thanks

I have done it!!! I finally start my prison officer training tomorrow. All medical completed and vetting completed.

I have finally done. I officially start my prison officer training tomorrow. A long hard road but it all came good in the end.

Yes I do freestyle libre. It's fantastic so fingers crossed this works.

I am hoping so.. it was 62 5 weeks ago so just praying it's come down further.

Yes they knew and they have been given doctors notes and also blood test results.

I had a face to face meeting with a Dr and he advised me I failed it due to my hba1c not being 59 or below.. However 2 weeks later I was given a start date and a contract to sign.

I have recently been offered a position as a prison officer after a long vetting process (approx 6 months) I have signed the contract and sent it back. However they have just come back to me and said I have to pass the medical again before I can start the job. I have already handed my notice in...

I am currently on the freestyle libre and I have downloaded the app on my android Samsung s8.. however my phone is not picking up the sensor. Has anyone else had this issue or know how to resolve it?

Evening all, I had my final medical today to become a prison officer, however I failed the medical as my HBA1C was above 59.. my last HBA1C was 66 however occupational health won't pass me as 'FIT' until it comes below 59. What is everyone else's HBA1C?? I am gutted, however they have given...

I passed!!! Just waiting to do all medical forms and vetting process. They said as long as it's well controlled then there is no reason why they don't take you on. Fantastic news!

So you are a prison officer with type one diabetes? This gives me some hope then. Thanks for this.

Yes please
