I am still having problems with alarms beeping on frequent occasions and signal losses. How are the alarms sounding when I have all my alarms turned off in the Libre 3 app? Is there a way of stopping these alarms? I could tolerate the signal loss issue more if the alarms were not sounding...
For the past 3 weeks or so, I've started getting these intermittent signal loss messages & alarms on my Libre 3. I have a Samsung A20 phone. The alarm beeps 7 times every time there's a signal loss. I've tried turning bluetooth on & off - this works at the time but has not stopped the regular...
Thanks Juicyj - still having problems with overnight sugar levels. I increased my Tresiba by another unit to 10 on Wed night but have not noticed a difference yet although I do realise there's a few days' lag with Tresiba.
I'll look into 'Think Like A Pancreas'.
Hi
I do not think it was the evening meal as I had had the same food for the previous 2 days. I also doubt it was the insulin but hey, you live and learn. My overnight BS levels have spiked a lot for a week or so apart from the odd day. They have been at very high levels (>15) and do not...
I've always been very reluctant to rely on an insulin pump as I have had loads of inaccurate BS readings on my CGMs, whether Libre 2 or Dexcom 1 and G6. It's another bit of tech that can go wrong. Am I being irrational?
I decided to increase my Tresiba by 2 units on Sat 9th, 8 days ago. This has not made much of a difference. I will change cartridges tonight as my current cartridge is nearly dead.
Thanks for the reply.
I was on Levemir 2 years ago before I went onto Tresiba. This was because Tresiba is longer-lasting but to be frank, I've not really noticed a difference. Everyone's different though. I have been thinking of maybe asking to go back onto Levemir.
Thanks for the reply.
I take readings from both CGM & finger prick as my CGM can be inaccurate. However, the readings were very similar on this occasion. I definitely injected the correct dose last night as I am using a recyclable pen which tells you how much you've injected & when. It might have been the carbs...
In addition, even though my holiday was at the same hotel as in the past with similar food, environment etc. my BS was higher than ever even though I was injecting increased doses of insulin.
Hello everyone
I have always been led to believe that one should not need to adjust basal insulin too often. However, I have to adjust my Tresiba regularly up and down. For instance, since Xmas the dosage has been between 7 and 10 units. I have just returned from holiday abroad when I always...
However, there's nowhere as much information on the Dexcom One app as there was on the Libre app & you can't seem to add event notes (e.g. insulin dosage, exercise). Is this a known issue?
Anyone know the answer to this, please?
David
I agree - CGMs (like Decom & Libre) are never going to be totally accurate compared to a finger prick as they measure blood from the interstital fluid surrounding the bloodstream, instead of from the bloodstream itself.
I've recently started using Dexcom One as I was getting so frustrated with...
I've never had a 'loss of signal' problem between my Libre 2 and my Samsung LibreLink app but am not surprised that this is being reported. I have had Libre sensors and the app for the past 5 years, and I have had numerous problems with them not giving accurate readings, failing after 1 week of...
Yes, I'm using the app and my Samsung phone suddenly (about 2 weeks ago) started providing notifications from Freestyle Libre Link 2 to ask me to 'tap in order to open the app'. I've no idea why it does this but you cannot delete the notification and it is constantly there. Everything else is...
