Hi @Antje77 How good to see you're still here. I hope you're doing OK still. You've been an inspiration, to me, for some time (apologies @Goonergal , I include you here too ;)) Thanks for the very sensible and rational thoughts. Yes, having thought about this while reading responses, I...

Hi @Lakeslover Many thanks. Sorry to hear you've been through Breast Cancer too. Bit of a 'what's it' eh? Really sorry to hear you've got lymphodema too. I can't imagine what you must be dealing with. I understand it can be rather painful, apart from inconvienient and having to wear the...

Thanks so much, @Goonergal Great to see you again ;) Sorry you've been unwell recently (assumption on my part re you needing xray and CT) I do hope you are feeling better / progressing well etc. Thanks very much for that {{{Hugs}}}

Hi folks My question is, "Are there any known issues related with wearing Libre Sensor during radiotherapy (3 weeks/15 sessions to boob, re Breast Cancer) ?" I'm hoping someone will have some information / or have asked the question themselves. I'm having treatment for Breast Cancer -...

Morning folks I've just phoned GlucoRx and, as @alanj suggested, they are sending me an upgraded model, plus a couple of batteries for this current one, in the hope I can, eventually, (maybe with some 'persuasion' and not breaking it) have a spare. Also, I didn't know GlucoRx will send out...

Oh, unfortunately, still can't open. Just no movement at all. Daren't try prising with screwdriver, of course, as will possibly just break the casing. I can't believe opening battery cover should be so difficult that being so 'heavy handed' is necessary ;) Many thanks @Tipetoo but still...

Thanks for trying to help. I've had another, very good, look for any indication, even under bright light, but there's nothing. On the back, where it has the sticker with make/model number etc, I can see what could well be a section which would separate so I thought that would be the 'normal'...

Hi all Yes, this IS a silly question ;) and I'm not in a good mood because of this :( I have the Nexus Mini - TD-4287B and the battery is getting low so, every now and again, the 'Low Battery' error comes up. So, I thought I'd see what sized battery I need and if I need to get some in or if...

For breakfast, I have BabyBell cheese ( x 3) Sometimes, for a change, I'll have a slice of ham from the deli with 2 x slices of Dairylea cheese on the ham, and then rolled up The ham and cheese roll could easily be prepared the night before, or on the morning. What about hard-boiled eggs, done...

I'm still struggling to climb back on the wagon, and we're into February already. I have had some 'good' days but then I can't resist a very strong tempation to drive down to the local *Express and bring back a few 'things'. I just can't resist. I'm still not feeling very good and have no...

Hi @WenB Welcome to the forum. I can't comment regarding Omnipod problems but I do use Libre and appreciate the potential of skin issues in regard the adhesives. No, I don't expect you are alone with your problems. Facebook has various pages regarding skin issues in relation to Dexcom...

Thanks everyone for your support. It's really appreciated. I've just put a box of Dairy Box and a box of Turkish Delight on a shelf, ready to donate to a charity for a Tombola prize ;) Yesterday, my 'last' day before climbing on the wagon, I decided I'd go out on a 'high' and eat a Garlic...

I fell off the wagon a few months ago, getting lots of injuries in the hard fall ;) Various reasons led to this, including depression, the annual issues relating to an emotionally traumatic Christmas a few years ago, as well as other issues. So, while all of this issues are still relevant...

@lucylocket61 Well done for getting back on this. You've clearly done amazingly well, especially considering your recent circumstances. You're an inspiration, truly :) I'm 'back on the wagon' as of midnight tonight and need to keep you in mind when I find the going gets tough. Take care...

Oh bless you @Swiggy I hope you're doing OK now Yes, Christmas was OK, thanks. Friends and rels looked after me ;) Best wishes for the New Year, 2020

@Swiggy Pleased to cause a smile but so sorry to hear you've broken your arm. So painful and very inconvenient, eh? I've had broken elbows (yes, plural, amongst other breaks) so know how painful breaks can be. I hope you're making good progress and due to be back to 'normal' very soon...

Sorry, I can't suggest anything as I'm not T1 but do hope you feel better very soon Maybe you could phone the emergency number ( 111 ? ) and ask them what they advise? Do you have anyone, friend/relative, who could take you to A/E / Out of Hours if necessary? I realise it's quite late, though...

Well done to all of you for being so 'controlled' :) Unfortunately, my control hasn't been in your league for this period, nor for the last few weeks. I've definitely 'fallen off the wagon' and have the multiple bruises/ injuries indicating the hard landing :( So I won't quote numbers...

Oops!!! Could explain why we, as having diabetes, regardless of type, find HCPs don't seem to have much idea about diabetes??? ;)

Hi @Emmar I take Glipizide and have no side effects. (I was originally prescribed Gliclazide but I didn't tolerate it well - made me feel unwell.) If you are prescribed a glucose-lowering medication, ie Glipizide, you will be given a Glucometer and prescribed some testing strips. You will...
