Is it possible to continue as I am but using the libre2 instead of the libre1 with the xdrip and MM2? I'm a bit thick when it comes to all of this!

I've received a letter from my diabetes team suggesting I swap my L1 to the L2. However I have just started using my MM2 and love that I get constant readings to my iPhone and watch. I'm nervous to move to the Libre2 incase it doesnt work with my MM2. Or the fact I've just spent alot of money...

Hi, when I used the G6 on my daughter, I would put a shot glass in the freezer for 5 mins before the sensor was due to be changed and then apply that to her skin in the seconds prior to inserting the new sensor. The coldness would in theory trick her brain into concentrating more on the feeling...

Please tell me someone else is having the same issues as we are?! My daughter has been on the Dexcom G6 since November. Shes 3 years old and has no hypo awareness so we have her on the G6. However in the time she has been on it, we have probably had 3 sensors that have been fine, and the rest...

I agree. However being T1 and working in a spa I see both sides.... We always advise against using the aromatherapy oils when having a massage as these can fluctuate Glucose levels, same with hot stones (with the addition of feeling the heat of the stones etc) however, knowing my body and how my...

Hi Ashleigh, just come across your post. I too have had hypo anxiety, and still do after 18 years. My biggest fear too is when my husband is working away and I'm here in charge of a 3 year old and 2 dogs as well as myself. But as with all Type 1s, we cope don't we :) I am currently suffering...

Thanks guys, the rep told me they are bringing the steel ones back out at some point but they're not sure when?!? So I will try those when I can. I've tried a 10mm cannula which I find a little painful, and I use a 70cm length tubing. Anything longer usually gets in the way. But I can try that...

I'm at my wits end now. Been on my Insight pump for 5 years now and suffered with frequent leaking cannulas from day one. On Thursday I got my new replacement pump and had a good chat with my Rep and DSN about the issue of my cannulas. I insert my Flex cannulas correctly, no kinking etc...

Thanks guys, I've packed my Dextrose after so many times having my lucozade thrown away. I've been reading that it's mostly x-ray machines to avoid. Thanks for putting my mind at rest!

Hi guys, having a slight panic... I'm going to a concert tomorrow night and obviously there are going to be bag checks, but do I have to be aware of any security scanners coming into contact with my pump?! I'm vaguely aware of reading an article on this for airports but since I'm not planning on...

I actually called superdrug this morning, to try and get some as I usually go through Abbott, but the chemist said that they aren't allowed to sell to anyone if they don't have the NHS prescription for them. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't want all the health issues that is needed to make the...

Ha! My mum can be unbearable sometimes, agreed they worry and its all because they love us (I guess I'm probably the same with my little girl) but even now after years of dealing with all the T1 stuff on my own she still panics if I'm low. And after telling her thousands of times that I need...

Oh yes this one! It's usually my husband asking 'what's your sugar?!' if I say I've got a headache or don't feel well [emoji58][emoji58][emoji58] I forgot I couldn't just generally feel unwell and not have my T1 be a cause [emoji849][emoji85]

Yeah I'll happily give anything a read if it will help. I only have Pumping Insulin to help but obviously that's not CGM focused etc. Thank you [emoji4]

Great thanks, I'll have a read of this tonight [emoji1303]
