    Abbot -,terrible communication

    Yes and I get some emails - had a reply from their IT people which referred me to a different website advising me to check compatibility via the manual. This took me to 5 pdf documents- and one is 145 pages long and is just the full user guide. Why on earth don’t they have a message system...

    Abbot -,terrible communication

    I get so frustrated with abbot - the supplier to the NHS (and private customers like Zoe & USA private insurance etc). Their communication is dreadful. I had a sensor fall off so went on site to get number for helpline (you have to give sensor code etc and they replace) - only to see this...

    Issue with Libre - blank screen

    It’s really important that libre send you replacements for their errors. The NHS should not have to pay again. It does take 3-4 days to arrive though but it probably costs the NHS £50 per sensor if not more. I self funded before they were available on prescription. I also had one fall off when...

    Issue with Libre - blank screen

    Is anyone else having an issue with the app today? I’ve just got a blank screen. I’ve tried off loading the app multiple times. If I delete I don’t think my sensor (which still has 8 days on it) will work and will have to use a fresh on! Can’t get through on helpline as it says office closed.

    5 things any newly diagnosed type 1 should know

    Having been T1 for over 50 years now and seen many changes in treatments it’s good looking back. I wish I’d been more knowledgeable about certain aspects and been treated consistently within a hospital based unit (I’ve moved a LOT in my life) In my latest move I had to go to local unit as it...

    I did not know this! I am currently switching and that’s quite the pain as relies on 100% battery security on phone. I always had the reader with me as a back up - thanks go info

    Experiences on Lantus?

    Hi there - I was on Lantus for a number of years until I did a DAFNE 1 week course. I’ve been T1 for 48 years, and was encouraged to do the DAFNE course as part of getting Libre. I felt SOOOO irritated by this, thinking there is nothing new I could be taught but attended. I have never been so...

    Type 1 Shielding for diabetics

    Ive just read the most recent study published by NHS England 14th May and it doesn’t say that!!! It’s showing that “it all depends” I am getting more and more disenchanted with the lack of any professional and scientific moderation in the group

    Self isolation for 12 weeks ?????

    I’m not finding our national body very helpful. Mute except for something posted and not changed - one jolly inspiring story about 1 person - nothing about their age other conditions etc etc. As a T1 for 47 years I have some additional issues ... I am not impressed whatsoever
