When the sensor restarted did you check against a blood sugar meter to see if it was accurate? I’d worry that the readings might be out. How long did it work for? I’ve had one inserted normally that bled quite a lot, but it didn’t affect the accuracy. I usually insert my sensors in front of a...

Well done Julie.

Hi @KaosAndy & welcome to the forum Sorry you are feeling unwell Your post is very general so just a few questions so we have more information Do you think you may be diabetic? Have you been to your GP with your concerns & have they tested you for diabetes? What do you mean by “do 3 liters...

If it’s the libre 2+ it lasts 15 days rather than 14. It will tell you it’s going to end, and then stop. They can take a little while to bed in, but even then for me they read around 0.5 to 1 lower than blood testing at low levels, and the same amount higher at high at levels. But it’s still a...

I like this substituting sweetener for sugar. I’ve done it with blackcurrants or rasberries as well depending what’s in season https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/gooseberry-fool I also make a bread and butter pudding made with a mini panettone, and half the custard from delias recipe, again...

999 is for emergencies, 111 is for other urgent needs and if you are on insulin. (Which I think you are) then needing a method of monitoring your blood sugar is a need.

Try phoning 111 and see if they can organise an urgent prescription for either libre or strips.

6.5 this morning. Wet, windy and grey here @Annb when I’m in that situation I think about what my husband would have wanted. I’m pretty sure he would have wanted you to do whatever makes life easier for you.

If you go to the log in page for librelink there is a forgotten password option.

I like dairylea as well, and also just Philadelphia and tomato on low carb toast.

I had a sensor die on me when I’d been working in the garden with the sun on it for 2 hours on a hot summer day. It showed a very low reading first, then after about 10 mins it stopped working altogether.

I’m very new to fast acting insulin (4 weeks in) but I am finding what works for me with a higher carb meal is to take around 2/3 of what I think I’ll need. Then watch what happens and if blood sugar rises more Than I expect within a couple of hours I take the remaining third. Might not work...
