I've just discovered the joy of Nightscout! If you've got a MiaoMiao then I highly recommend setting it up. Great info and really helpful woth advance warnings such as 'hypo predicted in 25 minutes'. Takes a bit of sorting out with github etc but worth a couple of hours of your time and...

thanks Kev. I have xdrip and it works fine however I like the look / feel of Nightscout and it seems to have some great features.

I've just managed to set up github and heroku accounts, and successfully got my MiaoMiao info on my Nightscout page / app. I'm reasonably tech savvy however I can't seem to get my BG to show on the iOS Nightguard app badge despite setting it to be displayed and allowing notifications. I'd also...

Hi Pots. 31 years on the seesaw for me. Welcome to the forum!

@SugarBuzz if it doesn't suit you then fair enough, but having done a month with Libre I'd hate to go back to the dark ages of finger pricks. I use Libre in conjunction with the MiaoMiao which sends a reading to my Apple Watch every 5 minutes and in the last 4 weeks I've discovered that I was...

Maynards Wine Gums 17-18g carb per 4 sweets. I prefer those to jelly babies :)

Jelly babies are 5g carb each, so if you don't like the glucose tabs they could be an alternative? My DSN actually recomended them as a hypo treatment as it's easy to calculate the carbs. Below 3.5 I have 4 of them, wait 15 mins and check.

Thank you. Called them, not much use, suggested I speak to my healthcare professional.

Only been using the Libre for two and a half weeks, the first sensor caused no bruising at all, this is the second one which went on on Tuesday morning. Is it normal?!

No news but I figured I may as we’ll share the tweet that I sent to Abbott and their reply. No news is not good news [emoji30]

thank you!

what's the difference between the old and new packaging please? I'm only on my first sensor so only had one package...

hahaha that sounds exactly like me!! I loved it too, glad we both found it beneficial. Although i messed up my QA dose for pancakes last night, had 10g carbs and injected for 100g :arghh:

exactly. from time to time it gets all of us down, but remember that as long as you face it head on you can own it, not the other way round. I suppose I've always had the attitude that things could be worse, but occassionally it feels like a real burden. You've not had it long, so pat yourself...

yeah, with the exception of one person on the DAFNE we all work for a living. I was of the same opinion (that I didn't fancy spending 5 days sharing a room with fellow diabetics) however we all learned from each other. I've said it before on here that I really can't recommend DAFNE enough, it's...
