    I’ve quit!!

    Many thanks to all the people who have answered my questions in the past, really appreciated your support. I have now stopped all treatments as I can’t get anyone to take me seriously so for my sanity I quit. Treated everything and nothing worked, I will just have to live with my 27+ daily...

    Libre 2 sesnor and contact sports

    Do you think it would be ok to put it on my boob so my bra keeps it in place? I know it says only arms but I’m fed up of paying £48 every 2 weeks for them to fall off and call Abbott again. In 6+ months I’ve only had 2 stick for the 14 days

    Type 2 Insulin not working?

    I have nothing more than an absolutely useless DN, she rings me once every 6 weeks and just says put it up. And when I call the doctor to get it sorted, All I get is speak to the DN but it’s ok she’s ringing in 4 weeks so just wait she’s very busy. I can’t win [emoji35]
