My hba1c is 49 and I've been asked if I have a lot of hypos, which I dont, just mild ones that I always catch. They are saying my control is too tight, but I don't think it is. I asked about a pump last year when my hba1c was 51 and they said that my control is too good. So even though I'd...

...would it be to just have 1 day a year to live a normal life without thinking about every single thing you eat/drink and do every second of the day? Everyone have a good Christmas and a happy new year.

Mines feeling angry when you've done really well and kept your levels decent. Then one look at something sweet and the blood sugar rollercoaster begins. Being restricted and also just the exhaustion of not being able to switch off. Also after a night of higher than 'normal' levels it's the...

I had covid a month ago and my levels were slightly elevated. The one thing I struggled with was even if I ate something I would normally take 4u of novorapid for I was ending up doubling it and doing a lot of correction doses. I put this down to being inactive for a couple of weeks and not...

I just got forgot about and 15 months later I still have Libre. If you prove that you can make it improve your blood levels then I think you should be fine. Just learn everything you can about how it works. I was told today that im getting moved onto the Libre 2. Good luck

Im based in tyne and Wear and I've not had a shielding letter, or any indication that I will. Ive been diagnosed nearly 4 years now and have a hba1c of 50. And a bmi of 25

It's improved mine slightly. The main thing is being able to see the patterns and act on them. My hba1c has hovered between 48 and 52 for around 3.5 years now. Currently I'm at 50. It's doesn't look like it's made much difference going off my hba1c, but during that time my honeymoon period has...

My actual hba1c was 50 and my libre was saying it was 50. Not bad.

I have similar symptoms to yoursef. The Dr said that I have borderline underactive thyroid but it does not need any treatment as of yet. I read that issues with muscles in the arms are a sign of this. Dr Google told me that one.

Mine at the moment is sitting at 48 that's from the info on my Libre so I'm not sure how accurate it is. I''ve not had my bloods done since I've had the Libre because of the coronavirus but I've been hovering around 48 to 54 mark since diagnosis 3 years ago. I don't have many hypos, if I do...

Yes I use Lantus, my fasting levels are normally around the 8mmol mark. It varies as I eat quite late and that's another issue I have. The current pen is just past halfway, I was actually thinking of changing it. I may have been like this a while, but since using the Libre I can see all the...

Hello all, just a quickie to ask about Novorapid. All of a sudden it seems to be taking ages to work and the last few days it seems like im just injecting water. Even taking it half an hour before food doesn't seem to be working. My bloods have been high all night in the 12's. Then after a...

Hello Claire, I'm no diabetes pro but I know exactly what you are going through. I'm nearly 3 years into my diagnosis and before my diagnosis I was in my own words a ' ticking time bomb'. Meaning I was all over the place and no one knew how I felt bar my closest family. I worked nightshift so I...

I've just collected my prescription this morning, this was ordred on the 9th of January. The pharmacist has told me to put another prescription in as well as the 2 month supply that I have had in for 2 weeks, this is because the Libre is being delivered in dribs and drabs.

I've had the libre now for nearly 2 weeks, I put my prescription in straight away and it's not going to be available until around the 30th Jan. After trawling around local pharmacies without any luck it looks like im back to multiple finger pricking again.
