My experience with Mounjaro (currently 10mg/wk) is very large reduction in insulin needs. Even a single unit of fast acting can give noticeable effect. CGM is needed to carefully monitor to avoid Hypos. Also ensure you drink plenty of water ;) Interesting that the ADA (American Diabetes...

The studies linked above are quite conclusive for room temperatures and higher (up to 37C) Only minor (less than 10%) degradation even after several Months. The biggest issues are likely to be Cold and Sunlight. Domestic fridge temperature regulation is not consistent, particularly when...

Juggluco app has the following “ Librelink needs an e-mail address and password and regular contact with a server for I don't know what reasons. The last time I had to press a few times on accept related to altered conditions of use, but did Librelink know that before it made contact with the...

The concept would be very useful for the elderly, many in care homes and unlikely to go to the Pennines but also forgetful for medications and having difficulty with technology. A $30 Dr in the room is potentially viable.

Touch a lit match or lighter to the sensor filament. It instantly disappears. Or press the hole on the opposite side with a pen top and you have the small filament housing for your contaminated waste (sharps) box. The remaining sensor with the battery can go in battery waste. The applicator...

Too many failures can result in not enough pressure. Press the applicator firmly together for 15 sec to allow the adhesive to bond. Then when using the applicator, press firmly again to allow adhesive to bond to the skin. In cold weather, warm the skin up with a hair dryer - again helps it to...

Abbott have always said that Libre is not suitable for everyone. However millions of us have found it a life changer. Unfortunately too many people do not read the Abbott instructions or the tips given on sites such as this to get around difficulties. It does take some work to use any tool. That...

Here is an example of Juggluco with high new sensor and old (faulty) sensor running together on same app.

Clearly as you have restarted 3 sensors in 2 weeks you have had quite a bit of time in this zone. I have used libre for 10 years, rarely...
