I’ve had three sensors out of the last four fail on me completely with the replace sensor error! I might as well try and get the sensors removed from my prescription and revert back to finger pricks! No alarms but at least they’re reliable! This one failed and I didn’t even get a scan

Any idea how to get an insulin pen out of a sharps bin. Must have put it in there thinking it was a disposable when it wasn’t. I don’t think I am strong enough to get the lid off.

Hi I’ve had a sensor that was reading way lower than it should have been. I had it taken out this afternoon. Was I correct in removing it? PS: 1. The meter timing is incorrect. Add an hour and five minutes roughly to the meter time 2. I actually tried to see if I could end the sensor with a...

Hi I am on Tresiba and Fiasp. I’m gonna start Libre 2 soon and this is gonna frustrate everyone So my Libre 2 I got and they corrected an error on the prescription for that but the GP still can’t for the life of us seem to figure how to replace the NovoRapid with the Tresiba! I have my...

So far I am noticing that my Fiasp I started yesterday is being slow. My sensor is reading high so I check the bloods, yesterday they were off, this morning they were a bit off and now the blood and the sensor are reading similarly. My DSN I’m sure told me I didn’t need to change my dose? Is it...

Got a bit of a kerfuffle earlier because my GP messed up a prescription change. 1st I noticed we didn’t get any Tresiba. Fine, we still have two full pens, whatever but we called so I can get them in May. The NovoRapid and Fiasp were supposed to be in my prescription, but the NovoRapid wasn’t...

Hi all So I had an appointment on the 2nd of March where I was expecting my prescription to be changed from Libre 1 to Libre 2 but then Fiasp was more talked about and my results although Libre 2 was mentioned and was added along with Fiasp so two changed! First question, we reported that the...

Hi I had an appointment with my diabetes team and they basically are wanting to switch me from one insulin to another one for the first time since 2017!! But unlike the 2017 insulin switchover it’s my short acting insulin they want to change! Benefits of Fiasp? Next appointment is in June so...

I’m 16, but will be 17 in April so am an older teen. Anyone else in my age bracket had their vaccine? I’m due on Saturday to have the vaccine.

So I’m worried that I might have to go into College next week due to multiple hindrances! As I am being forced to mix in with other bubbles when entering and leaving College, if I have to go in next week do you think I should stay home for Christmas this year? The bubbles aren’t particularly...

Today I was supposed to have two appointments at the hospital! One appointment we were told was cancelled! Fair enough! It was my psychologist appt that didn’t go ahead and was cancelled... but it wasn’t cancelled! The diabetic clinic appointment that was going ahead was informed that I didn’t...

According to the UK Parliament official Twitter account, the majority of the MPs in Parliament have blocked New Clause 17, a bill designed to protect the NHS from outside country interference. This means that our government is might sell off our NHS, presumably to the USA. This means we will...

I would like to give a massive thank you to all the frontline workers for still going to work and helping during the coronavirus outbreak despite the risks proven by not staying home. Whether you are a nurse or a cashier at a supermarket. You all are doing an amazing job. We recognise you. We...

Hi. We will be calling Abbott later I think but I think I've got a dud sensor. I either get Sensor error or Check sensor and have to start it again. I'm giving it one last shot as it had MULTIPLE chances already but if it fails again (which is 99.999999% likely to do so) we will replace and...

Finally, something I was longing to do at home...or maybe not...happened. After so long, I finally gained enough confidence at home, at school I've been doing this for ages.. I had already been doing home injections of degludec and my own blood sugars but now I've gone a step further,in fact...

What if Apple made an insulin pump? 1. How would it work? 2. What would it be called? 3. Would they come round to it? 4. Will there be any features added to it? This is all humour.

Hello all. I have unfortunately been having some hypos..quite a few recently. Why is this? I know that some this week were probably from the hot temperatures

So I have mock examinations in July, I am in Year 10 at the moment. If I was suffering a low, would I be able to interrupt my mocks? Would it be the same for the real exams in over a year?
