Ah okay, that makes sense! I do quite like the look of the dexcom. That is interesting to know. I find the Libre can be inaccurate throughout the whole 2 weeks of use, not necessarily all the time but most of the time. I am thinking that would be the best idea! Again thank you for your...

Thankbyou so much for your reply it has been really helpful! I have been pretty reluctant to go on a pump but I getting to a point where my levels are not getting better (I do also have other health issues that affect my diabetes) and I want to have children at some point so the next thing for...

Hey everyone! I have been consider a pump on and off for the last few months, and I just do not know if it is for me or not. My diabetic nurse said I might be able to trial it, which I do not think is a bad idea. I have been injecting for 30 years, so that is all I have even known, so it would...

Hey everyone! Hope y'all have had a good weekend! So, I am just wondering if anyone knows if there is another blood glucose meter that you add you cards too. I have the Accu-Cjek Aviva Expert and I absolutely love this meter, I have had 2 now but unfortunately I was told by my diabetic nurse...

So my ketones are ranging from 0.3 to 1.6. Slightly over the place at the moment. Even when my blood glucose says I am having a hypo, I still have 0.4 ketones. I am checking the ketones by blood. It is just rather confusing for me at the moment. The nurse I am seeing has not been helpful at...

Hey everyone, I hope you are all doing well! Sorry I haven't been on here for such a long time! I would like some advice from you all. Long story short, my diabetic nurse told me that it is okay for a type 1 diabetic to have a few ketones. Is this true, as I checked with Google and it said no, I...

Hey everyone, Hope you are all doing well! I was just wondering who else has the Carbs & Cals app? How do you find the app now? I am not too keen on the subscription side of it. Why couldn't it have stayed the same. Best wishes Becca

Thank you for your comments! I think I have been on Fiasp for about a week and a bit now, my levels have been in double figures since, the only time my level goes normal is when I have had my Levemir at night (which I had upped). I was 7 mmol earlier today, did my insulin had lunch and boom...

Hey everyone! I've recently been put on a new insulin called Fiasp, I was on NovoRapid before but they thought it would be better to change it to this one as it has a faster onset. Is anyone else on this insulin? And how are you coping with it? Does it work better? How long do I wait till I...

I have accidentally stabbed myself many times, but I still like them needles to the ones they have me! Lol

I'll speak to the chemist and see whats happening! My nurse has spoken to me about the needles, they did try to give me 4mm ones, I much prefer the 8mm, so I have kept using them. It is what works for me [emoji3]

The presentation said my normal ones, so maybe they didn't have them in a just gave me these ones, I tried them, really don't like them.

Hey everyone, So I got my prescription today, I re ordered Novofine 30G (8mm) needles, and received Novofine Autocover... Are these replacing the old ones or has my chemist made a mistake? They are so chunky and I am not liking this change. I have added some photos. [emoji31]

Thank you all for your comments, you have all been very helpful! Sorry it has taken me so long to reply! It is a shame they don't have a battery that can be changed, seems a waste getting a new one every 4-5 years.

Hey Everyone, Hope you are all keeping safe and well. Just some questions if you have this pen. I recently noticed that when I press the bottom of the pen down to check when I last did my insulin, it just shows end. Does anyone else's do this? Does it have changeable batteries? Do I need to get...
