Good luck with everything. It’s the best thing I ever did. Still early days for me at the six month mark, but it’s been SO worth it.

Hi. I think I understand what you are saying. - you usually attach a new sensor 24 hours before activating. Because you were in a group training session you went along with what the trainer was telling you to do. Now you are getting readings, the sensor is 3 mmol under your capillary blood...

It’s very odd because my software update hasn’t thrown that problem up. It’s still working as was . I’m glad you have a sort of workaround, though, because having that information to hand wherever you happen to be is so crucial. Especially if you are used to relying on smart watches etc.

I’m just surprised to hear about your WiFi issues with the new software because I was out and about yesterday and not attached to a specific Wi-Fi. I was connected to [emoji640]G and I also use the LibreLink app so I can get readings on my phone and watch. I crossed my low alarm threshold and my...

I’ve now got the new software on my controller. I’ve found out that if you are on the Libre 2 plus you will benefit from the new improved features, but only when you have the compatible pods. The compatible pods say “R1” on the top right hand corner of the tray lid. At the moment all of my...

Hi. I too am waiting as I think there are a few significant planned improvements. I asked ChatGPT and it seems as though late 2026 or early 2027 is the planned roll out for the uk.

I am so sorry you are having all these problems. I know how scary, frustrating and upsetting it is when the tech won’t work properly. It really takes over your life and affects your frame of mind. I really do hope you find a better solution soon.

I went on to the omnipod [emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]] at the end of February. I also don’t like the pod on my arm because I prefer it on my hip or stomach as it feels safer to me there. Just a small sensor-positioning thought. My trainer was emphatic about putting the sensor right round the...

Hi I had this exact same problem during the early July summer heatwave in the uk whilst I was in holiday in Cornwall. Very frustrating and disruptive when you are trying to relax on your well earned holiday. It seemed to do it when I had the libre totally out in the sun. Eg on the beach with...

It’s called Opus liftplus [emoji639][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]] . Get mine from Amazon. A little spray gets it off very easily. Our omnipod trainer said it was essential as you have to keep your skin healthy for full use...

Sudacrem!! Rub it on after each old site. It works for me and I’m allergic to even plasters. I have a big pot in my kit bag. Also - use medical remover spray before pulling the pod off.

Hi. Hope your shower went well. I can share in your excitement as I swapped MDI for the omnipod [emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]] at the beginning of March and I’m loving it too! Big learning curve for us both, but as you say - so worth it!

Hi. Thank you for the info. That is the spray I bought so I’ve now got a couple of options. (And know how to use them). I’m interested in your experience with the omnipod 5 and your nighttime lows. How odd as that’s the very problem it boasts that it solves. I do hope you get it sorted but...

Thank you so much. I’ve tried those patches but was terribly allergic to them! It just goes to show how everyone can have a different reaction. At the moment I’ve got the pod on my abdomen and a tegaderm on my libre which is on my arm. But I do think I’m going to have to try the skin tac...

Good advice - thank you. I have sensitive skin and worried that the omnipod adhesive would irritate me but it’s been fine. A skin test somewhere else is a great idea.
