    Short mat bookshop

    I play but outdoor and indoor bowls and just keep a check on my readings. I am allowed to keep my phone on whilst on the green/mat and keep snacks at the end of the rink with my bowls measure/chalk. Never had a problem

    Thank you. I am desperate to have a pump but seems little hope as I’m too old and not in the age category [emoji45]

    Type 1 Dexcom v Libre

    I have been changed to a Dexcom One plus but find they keep failing. Is the Libre 2 plus continuous or do you still have to actively wave your phone over the sensor every time you want to see your reading please?

    5 things any newly diagnosed type 1 should know

    I’m the same. Diagnosed at 72 with type 1 and I’m low carb eating so very low insulin doses but still can’t lose any weight. Am getting very fed up and wonder what the point is

    Hi, just found out I have diabetes, waiting for the dr to tell me how bad it is, feeling overwhelmed

    You will get used to it. Give yourself some space, there are a lot of emotions you will go through but if you come on this forum everyone is so supportive and will answer any questions you have . Good luck
