    Will there be a LibreLink iOS app soon???

    Hopefully, but for the NFR reader capabilites in iOS 11, you would need a new iphone8 or X, earlier hadrware does not have the full NFC capabilities unfortunately. Really want this to be available. iOS in miles behind android in this respect.

    Freestyle libre iPhone app

    Saw that news last night, both iphone 8 and iphone x have NFC reader capabilities so in throery no reason why iphone can't be used just like android to directly scan the freestyle sensor. You would hope an organisation like Abbott would be ahead of the curve and been developing an app in...

    Tresiba

    I swapped from Lantus to Tresiba 6 months ago. Best decision I made, less painful to inject, and more importantly seems to release more evenly over next 12 hours. I’m 48 and only diagnosed as a type1 2 years ago, so still learning, but Tresiba has been a great addition. Take 36 units each night.

    Abbott freestyle libre

    Finger Prick / Testing

    Hi, i just wanted to share what for me has been a really big step forward. After being diagnosed as type 1 back in August last year ( i'm 46), i have found the daily grind of pricking my fingers in order to test my glucose the biggest annoyance. I use both sides of each finger but most are...
