Are these medical professions part of the GP surgery or a hospital team?

As you are trying to lose weight too @fumanchu maybe look at the amount you are eating. That amount of calories is not enough. Your body will likely be protecting itself by going into starvation mode. Try upping it to a thousand at least.

Never had an alarm that isn’t a high or low. Have turned off signal loss alarms. A difference so minuscule is not really a difference. As a type one those differences fluctuate just by getting out of a chair. I would say your sensor was bang on accurate.

Yes I’ve done this when transitioning to a new level. I also have half unit pens which I wouldn’t be able to manage without. Both for basal and bolus.

Well best wishes @Nicola M it sounds an absolute horror story.

Further to my reply above. Another question that I have. What do all the newly diagnosed people do? They must come along with their already updated phones and hook up without issues, or the newly diagnosed wouldn’t have access to the tech. Not been provocative, just genuinely interested.

Haven’t posted for a while, but read regularly. It’s been a heavy time since Christmas. My brother and I have been backwards and forwards to aged parents in our home town over the last three years. After Christmas my dad asked for him and my mother to go in a care home as he was ill and could...

Yet I am on this latest configuration and it works just fine.

@andyasw how many needles do you get at a time? I do multiple injections a day and find putting a new needle on takes seconds.

Which phone do you have and what was the update? I have an I Phone Seventeen working on twenty six.two.one. Works absolutely fine.
