Hi all my freestyle optium neo says pc when charging.. is this normal? And is it charging at all? Ive seem to have lost the original charger it came with so just using a standard micro USB charger.. Any comments would be greatly appreciated :)

Hi all. I'm type 1 and I find that if my blood sugars are low before a meal I'm not wanting to take the amount of insulin I need.. as I'm low and not sure if I should just eat and then take the insulin or take half and then once I've ate..take the remaining? What does everyone else do in that...

Sorry I forgot to state this. I'm in the UK.

Hi all. [emoji112] I'm trying to find the best way to manage my diabetes and I want to invest in a CGM. A little background to my diabetes. I'm type 1 and I'm 30 yrs old. I was diagnosed 5 years ago and I use pre filled insulin pens. I've been struggling with my diabetes for a while...

Thank you for your reply :) I will definitely try warming my hands first.

My fingers are getting quite sore and bruised from the constant finger pricking is there anywhere else I can use to draw blood.. I've heard its not good to use the thumb. So looking for alternatives. Thanks :)

Try the nutracheck app its really good, you can put in your food and also scan food items with its barcode scanner, it tells you all the nutrition info :)

I have the freestyle optium neo which is a new machine to me and all the strips come in foils.., I was wondering if you are able to take them out of the foils and store them in a pot or do they have to stay in the foils prior to testing :)

I'm 30 and haven't been contacted yet. My GP has only just begun group six so I'm sure I've got a while to wait still.
