    Libre 2, Libre App (iPhone) without Abbott account?

    Thanks Angie I hope so but I've found my 'old' Libre 2 monitor which, although not as useful as the app, would suffice, if that's all that will work. Either way, she can go ahead, buy a sensor and get going. Thanks and Happy Christmas and New Year to you and the team :)

    Libre 2, Libre App (iPhone) without Abbott account?

    Thank you My friend has no issue downloading and using the LibreLink app. I was asking if one needed an account with Abbott to use the app. She doesn't have an account with Abbott, only buying a sensor on occasions, just to be sure her levels are still only pre-diabetic, or less, especially...

    Libre 2, Libre App (iPhone) without Abbott account?

    Hi Would someone please confirm that if one buys a Libre 2 sensor, over the counter, can they use the Libre app without having an Abbott account, iPhone? A friend, pre-diabetic, wants to keep an eye on her blood sugars, over Christmas/New Year, hence the question. Alternatively, can she use...

    Query re Libre Sensor during Radiotherapy

    Hi @Antje77 How good to see you're still here. I hope you're doing OK still. You've been an inspiration, to me, for some time (apologies @Goonergal , I include you here too ;)) Thanks for the very sensible and rational thoughts. Yes, having thought about this while reading responses, I...

    Query re Libre Sensor during Radiotherapy

    Hi @Lakeslover Many thanks. Sorry to hear you've been through Breast Cancer too. Bit of a 'what's it' eh? Really sorry to hear you've got lymphodema too. I can't imagine what you must be dealing with. I understand it can be rather painful, apart from inconvienient and having to wear the...

    Query re Libre Sensor during Radiotherapy

    Hi folks My question is, "Are there any known issues related with wearing Libre Sensor during radiotherapy (3 weeks/15 sessions to boob, re Breast Cancer) ?" I'm hoping someone will have some information / or have asked the question themselves. I'm having treatment for Breast Cancer -...

    Nexus Mini - TD-4287B - Changing Battery - a problem!

    Morning folks I've just phoned GlucoRx and, as @alanj suggested, they are sending me an upgraded model, plus a couple of batteries for this current one, in the hope I can, eventually, (maybe with some 'persuasion' and not breaking it) have a spare. Also, I didn't know GlucoRx will send out...

    Nexus Mini - TD-4287B - Changing Battery - a problem!

    Oh, unfortunately, still can't open. Just no movement at all. Daren't try prising with screwdriver, of course, as will possibly just break the casing. I can't believe opening battery cover should be so difficult that being so 'heavy handed' is necessary ;) Many thanks @Tipetoo but still...

    Nexus Mini - TD-4287B - Changing Battery - a problem!

    Thanks for trying to help. I've had another, very good, look for any indication, even under bright light, but there's nothing. On the back, where it has the sticker with make/model number etc, I can see what could well be a section which would separate so I thought that would be the 'normal'...

    Nexus Mini - TD-4287B - Changing Battery - a problem!

    Hi all Yes, this IS a silly question ;) and I'm not in a good mood because of this :( I have the Nexus Mini - TD-4287B and the battery is getting low so, every now and again, the 'Low Battery' error comes up. So, I thought I'd see what sized battery I need and if I need to get some in or if...

    Skin Irritation with Omnipod

    Hi @WenB Welcome to the forum. I can't comment regarding Omnipod problems but I do use Libre and appreciate the potential of skin issues in regard the adhesives. No, I don't expect you are alone with your problems. Facebook has various pages regarding skin issues in relation to Dexcom...

    So, Back on the Wagon for 2020

    Thanks everyone for your support. It's really appreciated. I've just put a box of Dairy Box and a box of Turkish Delight on a shelf, ready to donate to a charity for a Tombola prize ;) Yesterday, my 'last' day before climbing on the wagon, I decided I'd go out on a 'high' and eat a Garlic...
