They also prescribe Dexcom but only the more basic one.

I’m a type one and to eat porridge, potatoes, bananas, bread, I would need to inject quite a lot of insulin. So tend to give them a wide berth as I prefer to inject low amounts. Plus low fat yoghurt is a definite no. More carbs than full fat, and nowhere near as tasty or filling.

Don’t forget @Tony[emoji639][emoji639][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji639]] it will be a good three days before any changes you make will show properly.

Crikey! Still using my original from twelve years ago. A One Touch Verio. Definitely contact the manufacturer.

@Marie 2 I wonder if your body had adjusted its behaviour during your incapacity and now needs a kick start. It is so frustrating when reactions change and there is a whole new adjustment needed.

@marie [emoji638] So frustrating for you. And @Tony[emoji639][emoji639][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji639]] I’m with you on being impatient. I am on Fiasp which is meant to be quick. It isn’t before about three in the afternoon. After it performs as it should. Proving your...

The driving license debacle rumbles on. When I first applied, it took for ever to receive my new one. They kept asking for extra information which I had already given them. Medical approval was granted. Eventually a license arrived, with my original youthful photo on. New three year date and...

Yet both my consultant and the chemist said I would be ok. Suppose it depends on the general health of your feet. Used it under my foot some years ago with success. However, I have one on the end of my toe at the moment and found it too sensitive. So have decided to cover and let it grow out...

Especially for @SueJB Lindisfarne tantalisingly just behind the caravan. View from our van.

Off to Berwick @SueJB and can see Lindisfarne from two of the walks, weather permitting, we shall do.

I sympathise @SueJB I have struggled this last year. My problems have been high sugars very slow to fall. I’m trying not to worry about it as my TIR is still above Seventy, but the HbA1c has been creeping up. And for the first time in fourteen years some weight has crept on. To be fair I know...

@Duchess4eva you should be contacting Abbott for each failure and they will send out a new one. My pharmacist would definitely not get involved in replacements.

Yes, America have already given the ok for the Libre Duo.
