    Issue with Libre - blank screen

    becca59 If you put it like that then of course it cannot log continuous streaming but do tell me more about the graph sharing? To this point I input all my insulin, carbs and food ratios and these are then shared and can be reviewed by my team at annual reviews. Since the update today; if I...

    Issue with Libre - blank screen

    To answer my own question. No this is not the end of physically scanning as the update only streams continuous readings and does not save them to the log book. Only scanned readings are logged, streamed readings are not logged, shared, or saved.

    Issue with Libre - blank screen

    I have also had recent problems, particulary with loss of alarm. John I read your post with scepticism as I thought only libre 3 offered this feature, however having just updated the android app I can indeed see their message plain and clear that next time I apply a sensor I will receive...

    The perfect insulin pen...?

    Snap. Every ******* day!!! And not helped by having to input all that data into the libre and then forgetting to do what it is you are actually recording. Love my half units though, fine tuning.

    Finally a libre 2!!!

    Just moved over from Libre1 to Libre2 and had a lot of problems too with alarms on my phone: It would seem that in order to have the alarms working you must have both bluetooth and gps turned on BEFORE you scan the sensor. (I didn't and had to reload the app to get it to work). Also they are...

    Anyone getting Libre 2 yet?

    Jaylee, some downside to expect then! That is a pain, will see how it goes next week. Another minor annoyance: with Libre 1 I use both a librelink & meter, ( meter is only 'just in case' but still gets a few swipes each sensor)... that's as long as you scan with meter first time, then the...

    Anyone getting Libre 2 yet?

    Jaylee So why did you need to update the Librelink app? Just asking as my current one (v2.5.2) says it is compatible with Libre2 so I'm assuming it will be seamless transition when I use first libre2 sensor. Are there any third party apps available on Android/googleplay? Anyone..??

    TYPE 1 Immune System - stronger or weaker?

    Dunno, but after head trauma I once broke two vertebrae (C5 C6) and walked around untreated and in pain for 6 months before GP finally agreed to send me to hospital for an X ray (and thence directly to A&E) where practically the entire team gathered around me because....

    Home Sharps Disposal

    The BD safeclip! Yes I remember them now, were great when they were first introduced but very soon afterwards either the quality of the guillotine changed or the needle steel strengthened and they stopped snipping the needles after just one or two days. Probably a good idea to see if they have...

    Home Sharps Disposal

    So my local authority uses a private contractor PHS Allclear to collect sharp bins from my doorstep and drop off like for like replacements at the same time, all on a pre appointed basis; This week 7 litres of sharps were not collected, the customer service phoneline is referring to email only...

    Libre on the NHS

    I only asked a day or so ago so was actually a quick reply, the irony is that following a recent Bertie course I was told not to test between meals any more and just give the usual doses as per regime thus reducing the number of daily tests by 3!

    Libre on the NHS

    That's good news Copernicus, can I ask how the consultant made the decision to say yes and approve? I have also been self funding for close on 3 years and just been given a date for my NHS funding appointment but they have asked me to bring proof that I was testing 8 times a day before going on...
