Worked fine in those places for me when I wad trying different places

Hi Was speaking to Abbott this morning and when I was put through one of the options referred to Libre 2 . I asked their customer service agent if Libre 2 was now available in the UK (the Abbott rep told me at a Daphne course in April 2018 it would be here by Jan 2019! having been already...

Hi I didnt realise Relvar did this and havent noticed it spiking my BG. I am also on Fiasp , Levemir and Relvar. The Levemir I take twice per day at 7am and delay the evening dose of Levemir until 9.30pm which stops my blood sugar spiking as much before I get up in the morning. I find having...

Units left via Gingerbread man Another option when removing an old sensor is do it after a bath/shower which makes it easier to peel off. If left underwater for over 20mins they tend to come off which is why if it falls off after a a bath/shower or swim when you ring Abbott to get a free...

I've had mine for just over a couple of years and find accuracy very good I just rip the old one off and then use the spare swab that's in the new Libre box to wipe over where it was (that's what the 2nd swab is in there for) I found it to be accurate every time when it tells me my sugar is...

Just over 2 years ago when I started wearing the Libre Last thing I could care less about is what anyone else thinks of where I'm wearing it or that it might be a nicorette patch , who cares! Quite the opposite for me as the first month or two I wore mine on my wrist so people could see it...

My diabetologist can access my data from the Libre Reader (uploaded to desktop PC from reader via usb cable ) or directly from (Android S7 Edge) phone using the Librelink app which automatically sends the data to them. Ring your diabetic nurse and they will tell you how to set it up like they...

Ordered 4 sensors last Wed and collected beginning of this week with no issues. Probably could have collected a few days later if I'd been in a hurry. Ordered well before they were due incase there were any delays or shortages getting them with the pandemic.

Done :-)

The ones I ordered (early Jan??) had a 2-3 week delay. Fortunately I have lots in reserve. Chemist told me to order the next repeat repeat repeat ( :-) ) prescription for them 3 weeks earlier than normal which I did last week and 3 packs were then within a few days so presumably they are back up...

I've been waiting for 2 of my 4 sensors since 17 Jan (told they'd be another 2 weeks by Chemist after being told initially 2 day dealt then when that passed 5 day delay then 1 week delay) .When this passed I rang Abbott who suggested ordering 3 weeks before needed (and telling your GP there is a...

Sugars rising in the morning pre carbs is also known as the dawn phenomenon (as above liver releasing glucose). You don't say how often you have your background insulin to try to control your night time levels when you quick acting insulin is no longer having an effect on your BG. For me I...

Yes , I've actually been on Fiasp since it replaced Novorapid.

I've been T1 for 47 years since age 4 and thought I knew it all until I did a DAFNE course last Dec. in order to get put onto a pump waiting list.Ive also been prescribed Libre for 19 months. Most of what is on the course has been mentioned although they go into depth about ketones, DKA, ketone...

Re availabilty Abbott posted a replacement one which arrived within a few days (prescription issued take priority over self purchased ones) when my prescription sensor fell off the other week after a hot tub session (err I mean less than 20 mins in the shower as they only replace free if it's...
