    Abbott encryption (so Miao Miao May stop working?)

    Hi everyone, I am trialling a Miao Miao which is great but kind of annoying as I’m an Apple user and can’t seem to access Spike. So I’ve been down an app rabbit hole these last 2 days and Diabits answered a question I had with the info below. Maybe it’s not new news but as I’m just about to...

    Libre from new country

    Thanks guys, sorry for my delay I was trying to upload photos of what was going on (too difficult to explain without visuals!) but it wouldn’t let me and I gave up. So I downloaded Singapore’s LibreLink and it’s all fine. I think it might be because Italy uses mg/dL but Singapore uses...

    EVENING not dawn phenomenon AKA am a T1 freak?

    Hi again knowledgeable people, We've just relocated to Asia and I'm job hunting so I've a lot of time to play with my Diabetes. I've been taking a break from the Libre due to sweating it off so today I've used my morning to input my BGs into the One Drop/ Apple Health app. I sort of did it...

    Weird [unnecessary] things you see that advertisers have stuck the word “diabetes” on.
