My husband has been on the Libre since Feb this year. He has dementia which has made him very difficult with needles and therefore will not do finger testing. His diabetes was so out of control the hospital suggested the sensor. He has managed to get his HABC1 down from 129 to 78 since Feb...

My husband has been type 2 for 20 years and now has early stage dementia. He refuses his medication especially his insulin. This week has been really bad and as well as extremely high BS he is aggressive to a point nobody can reason with him. Our GP prescribed Glicizamade to help as he's not...
