I seem to remember that @EllieM shared that article, can't find it myself at he moment.

Not doubting you, but can you add a link to this information? Libre uses bluetooth, just like many other devices (for listening to music or hands free phonecalls while driving). It may be that Abbott simply put this on their website as a blanket protection against lawsuits, without there being...

I've been using Libre for over 8 years, starting with the Libre 1. It could be activated with the phone in 2017. The only thing is that if you start it with the phone, you can't use the reader as well, but if you start it with the reader you can use your phone too. Your chat gpt results show...

You're on a diabetes forum here. I like to go on holiday as well, but do you have any questions about diabetes?

Can you please tell us some more about yourself?

What would you like to learn about diabetes? Apparently your medication works very well.

I have lots of favourite foods. But I also have diabetes, which means I don't process sugar and carbs very well. So I would never eat sweets just because I like them, they make my blood glucose go up way too high!

I'm completely puzzled. I'm assuming love hearts are a type of candy? Earlier tonight you mentioned eating a Mars bar. Both are very high sugar/carb. You've joined because you want to learn more about diabetes, and you've had T2 for almost 20 years. What would you like to learn about diabetes...

Would you like to check your BG to get a handle on how different foods affect your numbers? If you are interested in going that route, it could give you a lot more tools to deal with your diabetes, and it could answer your question on if your current symptoms may be related to your levels. Many...

A bit more information could be useful. Do you feel this could be related to your diabetes? How long has this been going on? A couple of weeks ago you posted about your doctor wanting to stop you mounjaro, did you stop it? Are you testing your blood glucose at home when you're having symptoms...

Agree. I get pens with a use by date over a year away. A pharmacist storing unrefrigerated would change that use by date to only a month away. I get my insulin delivered 4 times a year, so unrefrigerated storage could have serious consequenses.

To my thinking it's ot much different from buying meat or dairy, which can go off if it's too warm for too long, insulin is a protein after all. A 40 minute commute wouldn't worry me, except for during a heat wave. In which case I'd use an insulated bag with ice packs put in a sock or so to...

I get my insulin on a once per 3 month delivery, and they'll only hand it over in person because you have to promise to put it in the fridge right away once they take it out of the cooled compartiment of the delivery van.

You might like to have a look at this thread where we share what we have eaten on the low carb part of the forum, I often get ideas for new foods there: https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/what-have-you-eaten-today-low-carb-forum.75781/page-3296 Do you test your blood glucose to see how...

I haven't had a test like that, but there is no reason at all why you can't wear a sensor during a cardiagram. As what to do before, it's impossible to tell because we all react differently to stress and exercise, so keeping a very close eye on your CGM seems to be the best bet to me. Can you...
