I'm using the official Librelink app and sometimes use sweet dreams app :)

Hello @EllieM I really like the idea of focusing on my TIR rather than checking if I am in the green zone every 10 minutes... My new goal is checking if I am in range 70% the last three days. I will give this a go and stop checking the Libre app. I will also take your advice on bringing my...

Hi @Juicyj Thank you for the kind motivation and much needed advice/suggestion. Like you've said I need to stop fixating on the numbers daily as it just stops me from actually doing my daily tasks. The idea of yoga has always been on my mind as well as mindfulness so will give that a go for...

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the pump, I am desperate to try a pump to see if it will improve my current worries... I've always been on MDI so maybe something new might be the best thing for me to get back on track? I will contact my GP to fast forward an appointment with...

Hi @Jaylee Can I just say what an incredible person you are for the way you look at diabetes, it is very inspiring for me especially your take on how to deal with lows. My biggest fear with them is having a seizure in public or alone with nobody around so I hope I never have to experience that...

Hi @himtoo Very kind thank you for sharing your own journey like others have, and you are absolutely right it will be with me for a very long time so taking the right steps without pressuring myself too much is the goal. I know I cannot avoid a low, that's inevitable, but I also know I can...

Thank you for this, and what I will now start practicing at home is ignoring the LibreLink app and not checking what my numbers are unless I am about to eat. I always mix my anxious feeling to my diabetes. My anxiety has similar symptoms to low blood sugar feeling so I have to definitely seek...

Hi @Grant_Vicat This is so kind thanks for the reassurance and for sharing your own struggles. I have to definitely make some tweaks with how much I am injecting depending on where I'm at and what I'm doing etc.. Glad you're doing good for yourself thanks again :)

Thank you for this honestly I appreciate it, life is for living and I definitely would love to go places and enjoy food outside rather than it being home all the time. I don't want to be in my comfort zone at least not while I'm young. As long as you are happy with the way you are handling your...

Thank you for replying, in response to your question, I have the Novorapid smart pen so whenever I take my insulin it shows how much I last took and I can also scan it on my libre app. The advice about taking a very small amount (1-1.5 units) while I'm doing a long walk after a meal sounds like...

Thank you for this, yes I always carry sweets and high in sugar drinks just in case but that doesn't take away the fear of dropping low very fast.. That's my biggest worry. I struggle to eat meals outside just in case I took more insulin than I needed or vice versa

Sure, so I mostly have fears of going out for walks (10-15 maybe 20 min walks) after I've had a meal and took insulin for it. So I try to get everything done by having no food and then eat meals at home once I know I don't need to go back out. What changed is getting a CGM and being overly...

I went 20+ years living with it in the back of my mind, taking insulin when needed, eating when needed but still doing whatever I liked. Now I can't even go on a walk to the shop without fearing I'm going to have a hypo. It's horrible and it's been this way the last 3+ years. I use a freestyle...

Growing up I was able to do whatever I like without a care for my diabetes... Honestly I would travel wherever I wanted to go, eat whatever.. etc.. But ever since covid things have changed. It was when I was first introduced to a CGM and I became overly obsessed with my numbers. Overly obsessed...
