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

My question would be, why have you got to start using one if you don’t want to. There are many people who would love one but are unable to have one as they don’t fit the criteria.

To be fair it’s not about being forgetful, it’s the fact that we are doing this repetitively day after day so it becomes easy to doubt ourselves.

Yes I too use an Novopen Echo for both my Fiasp and Tresiba. So good for logging with my Libre.

It lasts more than twenty four hours. Thirty six hours plus. It is very forgiving if you forget a dose. Drawback being you have to allow two-three days for effects from changes carried out. You couldn’t for example have different amounts for weekends/weekdays/exercise days.

Welcome @Pete H Twelve years in here, Fiasp, Tresiba and Freestyle Libre. Just recently got an Apple phone and have downloaded an app so that I can always see my readings. Both on watch and I phone. A boon for driving and exercising. I have learnt so much from this forum and put into place lots...

@Tony337 The body taking a little time to accept it was back to the old regime. Glad you had a nice time away though.

The BD needles are for dispensing insulin.

I always pre cook pasta cool quickly by running under water and plunging into boiling water. It has made a huge difference to the amount of insulin I require.

It is solely available in the US at the moment. Awaiting approval by the health authorities in the UK and Europe. Was only just watching U Tube videos on it yesterday.

Very tense. Especially as stoppage time is not when Leeds are at their best.
