    Blucon , Libre, Xdrip

    Hi @Saundie , I can hear from your request that you potentially are a data freak like myself!? :) Don't know if you have ensured to have the full and latest version of xdrip, but I have certainly access to export functions in it which appear to support various data format standards like...

    Libre Silicone Case

    Contact your local Abbott person and I would think they would be happy to give you a bundle. The reader is only around 50UKP/60 EUR or so, so not extremely expensive I think. (everything is individual perception of course). But the readers are actually extremely robust on their own! Haven't...

    Heathrow and the Pump interrogations and scaners and xray machines!!!!!

    Agreed @porl69, I don't get the hysteria about this subject. But maybe we are just a couple of old farts taking our diabetes and all its trouble too casually. Happy travel everybody - Enjoy life! Its simpler than you may think, so stop worrying and get going. :)

    why am I so ashamed/embarrassed to tell/show people I'm diabetic?

    There are many good reasons why we as diabetics can laugh a lot about funny memes like these:

    Heathrow and the Pump interrogations and scaners and xray machines!!!!!

    No, why should you? Who insist you should do that anyway? Very interested to know.

    Basal Rate Increments

    Though OmniPod is 0.025u/hr less accurate than animas; as its for your basal adjustment it doesnt really mean much change in practical life. A minor variation in your activity- or stress- levels on that day or before will have a bigger impact. But if you insist to maintain more or less the...

    Libre NHS criteria

    Why is the NHS such a mess? What I have been reading here of testimonials over the prior 5 pages is like what happens in a banana republic. (I love bananas as a delicious fruit, so no mal intent there, but hope you know what I mean :))

    Heathrow and the Pump interrogations and scaners and xray machines!!!!!

    It is not based on 'the devices I deal with?? It is what the security agencies have established as rules based on collaboration with the medical device manufacturers association. And then don't take snippets out of contents please, as it continues: "...Consult with the manufacturer of the...

    Heathrow and the Pump interrogations and scaners and xray machines!!!!!

    Trust me, most airports see hundreds if not thousands of passengers with external medical devices every single day. Among others they are people with e.g. bone growth stimulators, spinal cord stimulators, neurostimulators, a port, a feeding tube, ostomy or other life-critical medical devices...

    Heathrow and the Pump interrogations and scaners and xray machines!!!!!

    This, is what they refer to and all travelers can be random by exposed to this swab test routine from time to time. Really harmless really, fast and easy. The security officer typically swabs the little test clothing piece across your hands, in your bag, across your toiletry items if you carry...

    Libre NHS criteria

    I don't know really what is going on here, if you on the UK market have some second- or 3rd grade stuff really or some in the supply chain are mis-treating them on purpose??? I get mine either by public mail direct from Abbott (when in South France) or from local hospital (when in Belgium)...

    Libre NHS criteria

    The chemist also get a replacement from Abbott free of charge, so no excuse for pumping up the price there. And they even often have them on 'consignment'. Meaning they only pay Abbott for when they actually have sold them, and no outlay as long as they are just on stock.

    Have I beaten type 1 or was it type 2?

    Go for it PXN, and go for it hard - A true Samurai doesn't wait weeks or months to get resolution! :) 起死回生

    Have I beaten type 1 or was it type 2?

    All good then @PXN. For all you write, you are definitely not a type1. And sorry for feeling offended by you posting a message hinting towards beating type 1. As said, we have already too many fraudsters online taking money from less informed and fatalities being the end-result. Don't see...

    Getting hypo alerts with libre, blucon and xDrip+

    Thanks Scott, Yes I also got a note from Ambrosio about it, as that was my main complaint back to their R&D and Customer Service folks when starting out with it. :) But they have so far been very tight on how exactly they have ensured it to be watertight. And when I pushed them, they still...

    Have I beaten type 1 or was it type 2?

    To answer your header text question: "Have I beaten type 1 or was it type 2?" If you have beaten anything, it was a Type 2. Type 1 unfortunately cant be beaten no matter what or how little you eat of anything, as your body will need basal insulin to maintain the body organs alive. Its not...

    Injecting 0.5 units

    So are you experimenting like me to get 1/4 size doses by pressing softer or harder on the plunger? :) E.g. on the classic NovoRapid flexpen, you can variate the dosing by up to 3/4 of a unit depending on how hard you press. Gentle press to the click and you get around 80% of a unit. But if...
