I'm on the libre now and I love it...I had to wait six months waiting list on Abbots website but they contacted me when it got to my turn, and now I can reorder up to 2 sensors at a time. The sensor is comfortable(I'm on my 3rd one now). The placing of the sensor looks scared, but it honestly...

I'm back to blood pricking for a week, as I'm using my second sensor over xmas and new year. Have to say I miss it already. I do hope the nhs fund the sensors soon...

Eeekkkkk!! Got my libre!! Love it already. So easy to apply. I was dead nervous of pushing the applicator on my arm, but was painless. The scan is near on a match to my actual BG prick, so far anyway. Looking forward to analysis, further investigations, lol...[emoji38]

Very interesting guys.. I love an excel spreadsheet me like........[emoji12]

I agree with noble, if I inject quickly, my Lantus leaves a bit of liquid, as if it's overflowed... If I go slower, and more gentle, tends to all go in. It does hurt sometimes( I do Lantus in thigh) other times, it's painless, haven't figured out why yet though. Good luck!

Good to know Abbot will replace faulty sensors. So, is it working yet staffs?

My ones short and sweet...when going about infection on my foot and wanting some cream >Doc, oh so I see you've been diagnosed type 1 recently.. > me, yes >Doc, and are you keeping you're BG within the correct levels? >Me, most of the time > Doc, 'most for the time?..'(scowls face) I wish I had...

Hi all.. Long time no speak, sorry about that, hope everyone is ok. Ive been on waiting list for freestyle libre for last 6 months, and had given up, when I got an email last week, saying I will be able to order soon, as stocks back in. Well, today I was emailed from Abbot saying I could now...

Hi tylers.. I've been diagnosed bout 8 months now, and I've been wondering the same thing. My sons only 7, and I don't want to worry him. For now, I'm gonna keep an eye on him for Lethargy, blurred vision, thirst, etc... I think if he was sick, yes I would blood prick him in his sleep to check...

I only check draught coke/Pepsi... If out of bottle, I tend to trust it. You just pop the end of the strip in the liquid quick, and you get a result.

Yes, I always use my accu check meter to test 'diet' coke. Will read 'hi' if it's full fat coke, and usually .5 or less if diet, happy days !!! Also great theatre in front of your bemused pals, lol[emoji1]

I like fruity Mentos.. I take 3 when hypoing, followed by a small snack

Hi Holly! Me too... I've recently worked out my morning Cheerios are high GI, so if I have them for brekkie, I need to take my Novorapid a full hour earlier(pain in the ****).. Lol... Just made a joke, hee hee.. Anyway, if I have weetabix, I tend to put my Novorapid in about 20 minutes earlier...

Thanks catherine

Hi all I've just been doing my HATTIE course, it's like DAFNE but a Hartlepool run one. I remember seeing someone say they had done a HATTIE course, and the trainer said it must have been the Hartlepool or Stockton one!! So, hi!!! To a local type 1. If you read this say hi!!! :)...

Just want to say hi!!! :) welcome :)

I wish I could help Trixy. But I'm too new too. My levels been a bit high recently, I think mines cause I'm due on in a few days. Your levels aren't too bad though in all honesty, you may need to look at your basal. Remember being newly diagnosed, it may be honeymoon period playing up!! That's...

It will be an experimental phase at the moment I'm afraid..if you are really low, perhaps 1 unit less, but it all depends on what ur eating and carb counting etc..

Hi Becky and welcome to the forum. We are a pretty friendly bunch on here, and I'm sure some other more experienced type 1 s will be on soon!! I'm new diagnosed 4 months ago, and yes at the start it's TOUGH!! It must be even tougher being pregnant. Have they suggested it might be pregestinal...
