Hi, I’m a type1 diabetic of 33 years, over the last few years I’ve really managed to get my overall blood sugars under better control than ever before as a result of using the freestyle libre, a good local diabetic team and getting a bit older. However I am a bit frustrated with my lack of...

I’m just about to be given a libre and was wondering how other t1s have found it? Has it improved your control? What can I expect?

Hi everyone hope everyone is keeping safe. I unfortunately have lost control again of my blood sugars, but not as bad, I'm constantly within the 10-14 range, & i can come down to 9 within 5 hours of my breakfast and medication, i feel awful i have spoken to my DN and she has booked me a phone...

Hi everyone, I'm still trying to figure everything out When I eat, blood sugar goes up, its suppose to come down 2 hours later but mine will keep rising, and even till the next morning. I'm not sure what to do anymore, even without carbohydrates I can still be high throughout the day, I'm not...

Hi everyone, I'm having some issues with my blood sugar during exercise, in this case cycling. I started cycling to and from work, about 40-45min and I'm not a pro cycler, so fairly slow. In the morning, I take my lantus, around 5 units atm, and a banana and I'm good to go. I spike to about...

10 point downward Trend in 12 days! Sure, I realise this is a BG Trend, and that the the over-arching HBA1C is the long term, Gold Standard, but here is evidenced based proof that I appear to be arriving at some type of liveable, sustainable food and medication regimen. I wanted to share this...

Hey all, My first post here! I'm a T1 of nine years and I've been climbing for four years. I want to share this because it's given me total control over my diabetes. Much like any other sport, it's a commitment, but it's taken me to an incredible point in my life, where diabetes never has...

Hello, my name is Mike. I was diagnosed about 7 years ago as type 2. I have been taking metformin and glyburide, but I have to admit, I don't do it like I am supposed to. I also don't go to the doctor like I should either. I know, I'm not a very good patient. lol I have tried eating healthier...

Dear all, I am dealing with a type 1 diabetes since I am 15 and I have been under bolus/basal treatment for 3 years now. Fonctionnal insulino therapy was really giving me a hard time (highs or lows after meals) until I stumbled upon BolusControl. This simple to use Android app let you know...

Hey there! So - I've been diabetic from the age of 9 - I'm now 29 years old. My usual HBA1C is between 6.4 - 7.2 (I know could be a lot better). Recently, I've been getting concerned - I'm a mum of three and I work full-time - so I try and keep my sugars slightly higher while at work -...

Hi fellow diabetics I’ve just had my latest hba1c result and while it’s good and much better it’s not as good as I thought it might’ve been yet I feel I don’t have any options to take with it next. At this point last year my hba1c was the highest it had ever been 62/7.8%, this brought me to...

I have a new addition to my body. A libre sensor. And I'm loving it. I absolutely love the fact I can scan whenever I like. I'm currently scanning every 15 mins following my cabbage Bolognese, glass of red and a few mixed nuts, just to see how my body deals. Back to 5.3 without much of a rise...

Hi, I am 24 and i have had diabetes for 15 years. I have spent 11 of these years abusing my body by cutting out insulin and having frequent DKA episodes. I have depression and diabulimia and these I am trying to get help for. I feel a crippling amount of guilt and shame regarding what i have...

I'm classing myself as in remission as my last hba1c was 41. Its in the 'normal' range (under 42). I would not class it as that if it was over 41 though. As far as im aware Professor Roy Taylor, Dr David unwin and virta health define reversed/remission as sub 48. I'm just wondering what...

just having a moan really I have been doing so well with weight loss, low carb high fat diet my blood sugars have been on average 5ish before and pre meal but I got slapped cheek of my daughter and have felt like I have had flu for past two weeks, followed by the awful rash now bad joint pain...

So saw the nurse today and was given a list of drugs to be added to my metformin to help lower the HbA1c as on diagnosis in Dec 2017 was 81 and now is 63. Sulfonylurea Medicines Nateglinide & Repaglinide DPP-4 Pioglitazone Acarbose GLP-1 SGLT2 God I'm confused, I am not sure where to turn and...

So I thought I would share my last set of libre results. I have never had a hba1c below 7. But with the help of the libre I am on track for drastic improvement. In 25 years of having diabetes and average hba1c results of 7-8% I can finally see where the problems were. Not only that but the...

I take the following daily capsules with my doctor’s permission: L-Carnosine with Alpha Lipoic Acid Cinnamon 500 mg Pomegranate 1000 mg Vitamin B Complex Black Cumin Seeds (Nigella Sativa) Karela 500 mg (Bitter Melon) Ester C

Hi All, I thought i would quickly give my summary to what the libre allows me to do vs the negative comments it receives. I used to do around 8 to 10 blood glucose measurements a day. I count carbs and dose to around 1- 10 insulin carb. I also take Lantus at a night. I take part in alot of...
