Hi guys, long time no post. Do any of you find that you get breathless when your blood sugars are high. Mine have been averaging arounf 11 to 19 over the last three or four months and I seem to be breathless a lot. I did have a heart attack three months ago and had four stents fitted so my...

Glava, sipped slowly over a few hours works well too.

Anything that gets away from finger pricking would be a massive help in monitoring. I learned more from the freestyle libra in a month of various testing about what I can and can't eat, than I did since first diagnosis. This sweat system sounds really promising.

What does PCOS mean???

Thanks guys, I have more or less all of those symptoms. In particular the mood/depression and irritability which makes confronting the rest of it so hard. I have been trying to establish a link between yeast overgrowth symptoms and those of diabetes and I now feel they are pretty much the same...

I'm type 2, diagnosed years ago and I'm inconsistent with my control.

How would you feel if your sugar levels were fluctuating between 14 an 19 most of the time. I know we are all different but I would really like to know how others feel when at high levels. Cheers Steve.

I've been using the Libra for a month now and just ordered my second lot of two sensors, prior to this I had been using test strips on and off for about three years. The great thing about the Libra is that it will show you what has been going on between scans (which would be finger pricks...

Is it actually worth taking a reading until your system has warmed up and got going? It seems like a waste of a test strip to test at a time when levels are known to be changing upwards from a low level. Instead of a fasting test, if done on waking, it seems more like a 'post laying down a lot'...

Hi, thanks for the reply, I never heard of diasend and will look into that thanks. With regards the S6,its seems great so far but I'm still getting used to it as its my first android phone. The last one was a nokia lumia 1320 on the windows system and I didn't get on with it at all but it was my...

As per title really, I may be a bit thick but how do ( or can ) you save the scans from the Libra system to your PC. I would like to keep each 14 day sensor info saved to my comp if possible as the app only allows for a ninety day period. I have the app downloaded onto a Samsung galaxy S6...

Well, after proving what a plonker I am for not understanding the Libra Link app screen and finding the little three horizontal bars at the top left of the screen plus the three vertical dots at the top right I faffed around and got started with my first scan and checked that with my Aviva nano...

I have been told that my overall body odour has changed and is noticeable. I can only put this down to diabetes and am a little upset that I have not noticed this happening. Anyone else been told they have a new smell.

So, I have got the device (new Galaxy s6 android phone) I downloaded the app, and now the sensors have arrived. Well, downloading the app was easy, but I can only see the 'How to apply the sensor' instructions so far and am hoping that when I first connect the 'phone app' to the sensor it will...
