Yes our local health authority wants them in a sharps bin.

Originally from Grimsby so know that coast well. Actually had a college friend who lived in Sandilands. Happy times spent there fifty years ago!!! The coast is a good mood enhancer @Hoodiegirl3 just the pick you up you no doubt needed.

@bella[emoji638][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji637] The answer to your question, will i feel a bit ropey if my numbers drop under ten, is yes. It is known as a false hypo, your body has got used to higher numbers and doesn’t react well when they start dropping. As long as it is not an actual...

AI Overview Novo Nordisk is discontinuing Levemir (both FlexPen and Penfill cartridges) due to global usage trends, portfolio consolidation, and manufacturing constraints, as it is an older insulin. The manufacturer has confirmed the decision is not related to any safety or quality issues.UK...

Just a heads up one o’clock Monday morning not Tuesday.

@Marie 2 Yes there was far too much stuff in their large four bedroom house. Dad died in February and mum is in a care home near me with Alzheimer’s. Their home is an hour and twenty mins from me. My brother is an hour and a half away. We have been meeting up for a couple of days every couple of...

Not doing brilliant @Tony337 Have dropped my TIR and upped my well above TIR although I have been on my feet two days finishing the clearing of parents house and getting on the market. The insulin has behaved like water so just treated myself to a new vial of Fiasp.

Just re read this thread, since I initially posted I now have a seventeen and still have no issues. This might be a ridiculous suggestion, but do you ensure all other pages on your phone are cleared before engaging with Libre. I know from experience with other pages that things can be slowed...

I did my three yearly reapplication for my driving license this February and had to also update my photo. Such a shame as I loved the photo from ten years ago, but hey I admit it, I’ve aged somewhat. Three months later three envelopes dropped on the mat. One showing I had passed the medical...

@Bogart99 The readings are so close together as to be negligible. I wear a Libre and as a Type one can watch my numbers in a morning leap from a five to a six just sitting up in bed.

@SueJB I’ve just got the leaflet out of my new Tresiba pack. I cannot find anywhere where it says no alcohol. Just to monitor your levels when you have a drink.

Drama with my sensors last night. I have to say I very rarely have a problem, but yesterday the one due up for renewal in three days just kept losing signal even when right next to me. After it didn’t warn me about an impending low I decided its days were numbered and proceeded to apply a new...

I’m on Tresiba @SueJB and have had no issues like you are describing plus I regularly have a glass of red wine. Have to say I haven’t seen that advice must dig out the info sheet and read.

@SueJB I make lists of all the stuff I need to do. They are always far in excess of my energy levels. I keep forgetting I’m now a pensioner.

Do you have symptoms of a hypo when the readings are low, such as shaking, sweating, feeling confused or even a racing heartbeat?
