I have diverticular disease, but have not had diverticulitis. I also suffer from bouts of constipation. I was advised years ago to take a dose of Lactulose every day to soften my stools. This is safe for those with diabetes. I keep forgetting, but when I take it regularly I am usually regular...

Interesting. I hadn't considered that Dap could lead to reducing Metformin. I will discuss this at my upcoming annual review. Kidney health could be a good pointer as well.

When I started Dap the surgery were concerned about my attempts to low carb, but satisfied that I could detect a hypo as I self fund Libre2+. I don't think I have ever got close to a hypo, have been in low 4s, but this may be partially due to reduced kidney functionality. I suspect that if my...

I have been away for months, and pack all my spare medication in hold luggage. It takes up quite a bit of space but then I have a very large suitcase. More pills and sensors than clothes, usually. These days I rely on Libre2+ so only carry my finger prick kit as an emergency back up. Roughly 2...

For those T2s in this thread not on insulin, I cycle around 20 miles each Wednesday with a coffee stop half way. In the past I have trained up to cycle 50 miles per day over several days. I usually cycle fasted, apart from coffee with double cream and butter. When I cycle my BG goes up high and...

Can it not go on your house insurance? Personal items such as mobile phones and laptops usually go on there.

Asking because I have a new phone (yay!) and a new install of LibreLink. Target glucose range is 3.9-10.0 mmol/L. Looking back at my old phone: Target glucose range 3.9-7.9 mmol/L. I don't know if I set my range more aggressively (I have had the phone for a very long time) or if the default...

Waited until the sensor ran out then started the new one on the new phone. Both signed into the same LibreView account.

Chips at 9pm is a little ...ummm... rash. However I have problems in that direction as well. Better things to eat at 9pm could be cold meat (such as sliced beef or cooked chicken), cheese, hard boiled eggs. I find that when I am motivated I beat down the carb cravings and eat something more...

Do you think that perhaps it burned out what remained of the Beta cells in your pancreas. That has always been one of my concerns about anything which artificially boosts the pancreas.

Quiet forum! I am struggling with my BG management. This is a mental thing. I can get good bloods if I go minimal carbs but it makes me permanently miserable. Next step (as far as I can see) for me is Gliclazide or insulin. I am wary of insulin, although Gliclazide carries some of the same...

Most software manufacturers will have a cut off where any operating system (OS) older than the chosen point will be unsupported. It is usually not cost effective to support a very small number of users on a platform that is often not supported by the OS vendor. On Android, I have seen Apps go...

Just checking. I assume that as I have a new phone I need to keep the old phone running until my next sensor change? I will be transferring as many Apps as I can across with as much data as will transfer, but I assume that the connection details of the current LibreLink will not allow me to...

Are you asking about the LibreView website? Also, what are you using on your iPhone to view the information?

I have T2 Diabetes, and also AMD (Age Related Macular Degeneration). I am also very inflexible so can't easily get my face near to my toes. This makes nail care very difficult. I am looking for a service to care for my nails and feet. NHS Podiatry only seems to treat serious foot problems, so I...
