Good old Grimsby! My home town. A very exiting match. And in my opinion a much deserved win. Could have done with some of that rain they had over in Yorkshire.

Been using the Libre 2+ for the last few months. Haven’t had any fall off. Haven’t had to remove any. 65 years old with an I phone mini working on 18.6 Have been using Libre for many years since the very basic model came out and had very few cause issues. Always replaced without any problem...

Advantage of a reusable pen is memory of injected doses and ability to link information to Libre.

Shall recuse myself. Am busy caring for parents who live away where there is no reliable internet access and grandchildren. Have little time for me as it is. Thank you for suggesting me.

Hi @Bluemarinejosephine like yourself I am very resistant to all forms of medication, taking just insulin. Many years ago before my diabetes diagnosis I was in need of help following some ongoing health issues. I remember picking up the prescription for Prozac and having it sat on my kitchen...

@Addaia01 switch the signal alarms off. Did that years ago I know when the alarm goes off there is a specific reason.

This applies to closed loop along with people who find managing the condition hard and have a high HbA[emoji637]c. The criteria for just pumps are still strict and very few people make the grade unfortunately.

Fabulous! @JimW

@oldtypeone you can request the Dexcom one, it is on the list with Libre as an alternative and they cannot actually refuse if you ask to switch.

Are you taking statins. I discovered you shouldn’t take vitamin D if on them as it doubles their level.

Had acupuncture for sciatica many years ago. Mixed results. Immediate, yes but not long term unfortunately. Found it relaxing though.

And yet I have to inject before and after swimming. I inject, swim, inject and eat a [emoji637][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]] carb fruit and yoghurt breakfast. I don’t notice a lowering of numbers till the day after. Whereby I have [emoji637] unit less...

@Hobo1960 I have had sensors in all different places on my arms. (Even when doing numerous trials for the research team) it has made no difference. There are lots of Type 1s wearing on legs, chests and stomachs. Also with good accuracy.

Absolutely good advice. Had a husband about to be let go some years ago. When he told them he was bringing them to the meeting the tune changed. He successfully completed two more years at work before retirement.

Yep I’ve used bits of toilet paper under hypofix. lol!
