I asked to be switched over about 8 months ago as a friend of mine recommended it, and it was the best thing I’ve done. As mentioned above it’s the quickness of it working which is key. Dawn phenomenon is easily taken care of. And when your on the go and want to eat you can have it only minutes...

Thanks for the replies yeah I’ve tested for keystones. And it’s fine 0.9 and I feel better now but my blood is staying at 13-14mmol I’m hoping going back to work today will make it drop as it’s pretty active fingers crossed

Hi I had sickness and dioherra last night and my blood sugar is staying at around 13-14mmol and won’t go down with a correction Dose. I havnt eaten all day either just had lots of fluids, any suggestions please thanks

Oh ok. Thanks for the advice. Definitely something to think about I’ll see how I get in with novorapid used the right way haha as it seems to be great so far, can’t believe it’s took so long to ask for advice on it

I really like the idea of injecting and it almost immediately working as I’ve been on novorapid a few years now and I’ve taken it like 5/10 mins before food, then I would spike an hour later then return to normally after a few hours. After some good advice (take it 30 mins before) the last...

I take novorapid and I’m completely happy with it. But a friend of mine recently got the fiasp and says he thinks it’s much better, have any of you on here made the switch.? If so ,your thoughts and comments would be great.thanks.

Oh really that’s good to know and you get accurate readings on that part of the body yeah? Thanks for the comments

I was torn between tegaderm and this opsite flexfix, I went for the opsite, so when I get low on that I shall try tegaderm thanks for the info. Just had a dispatch email from miao Miao so hopefully should only be a few weeks as I’m in the uk

Thanks for the replies, really good to know the spike app can be used still, sounds like it’s worth paying for the developer account. Can’t wait till it arrives now. Any advice for keeping it on my arm as I use opsite flexfix for the freestyle libre so should I just put it on that too? Thanks

Thanks for the reply, I think you might be on to something there, I normally inject only minutes before I eat so Tomorrow I shall inject 15 mins before all meals and see how I get on. My carb/insulin ratio is good overall so think it is just the timing of the injection. Thanks

Sort of on this topic say I’m 5.6 and I have porridge oats with semi skimmed milk or 3 weetabix I would have say 4 units of novorapid and 1 hr later I can be up to 13mmol which is frustrating as when I test another hour later 2hrs from when I ate it will be within range again. Is this normal or...

Hi I thought I’d start a thread and ask has anyone got the Miao Miao for the freestyle libre, I’ve ordered mine as it sounds really useful, especially with the high/low alarms. Just a question if anyone knows, I’ve heard that people use the SPIKE app on iOS/iPhone, but it’s no longer available...
