Fitted my first one today for start up tomorrow. It's ment to be more precise than the 2. It still works with Juggluco. So hopefully it'll be as good or better than 2. As my sensor has been a godsend 3 years in.

If it's not been mentioned so far. Hydration, exercise and a sensor are key. You can lead almost a normal life. I'm a postman who works full time. Walks on average 8 miles a day. I also don't eat that differently to what i did before diabetes. I'm just over 3 years in. YouTube is a great source...

Noticed on freestylelibre.co.uk the Libre 2 is being discontinued in the UK. I suggest you contact your doctor/dsn to upgrade you to the libre 2 plus. As this doesn't happen automatically. Also your pharmacist can only give you what is actually on the prescription.

Juggluco serves libre 2,3, sibionics and dexcom G7 now on Android obviously.

Why don't you try Juggluco? Works with a watch too

The only person who can make the change is you. The disease is all an experiment. I mean it's different for everything. Person, food,weather etc. I'm always changing mine. Slow and steady. I adjust by one unit. Wait 48hrs then change again. My last change of increasing. Resulted in a week of...

Hydration is key. I personally wouldn't have changed my basal. But I do spend 10 hrs a day sugar surfing at work. Unless you're battling to put on weight or breastfeeding. Eating without insulin is ok. You just exercise to keep in range. But then again I could just be lucky as it's different for...

Is it possible to have your cooked (main meal) at lunchtime. Then have a sandwich for your evening meal. As the whole disease is an experiment. How about adjusting your bolus each time you have that meal by a unit. Don't over do it worst case you have to eat more. I'm someone who trys to do as...

Spot on. No separate basal anymore. Pumps can administer such small doses of fast acting. Which means not so long a wait when changing basal rates.

At my Doctors check. I too got offered Statin's. Glad I said no. My consultant said last week. They're reading the results wrong. You're bad cholesterol is slightly high. Probably due to being type 1. However your good cholesterol is higher than a normal person. Which cancels it out. Hope this...

If you're a Android user? I'd suggest using Juggluco. Hardly ever have any dramas. Now other than using librelink to start a sensor. With Juggluco you don't have to scan to upload data to Libreview. It does it automatically anytime you open the app. Value is shown on a smartwatch if setup. Talks...

I use it. Once a day works a dream

You still need to start up sensor via NFC. No other way.

All t1d in the uk will be offered HCL in the fullness of time. Just like Libre etc. There has to be a start point. Good things come to those who wait.

I became a type one diabetic in November 2021. Nobody told me either. I ended up like you. Once I applied they made the fine £9 something like one prescription.
