I'm on my second sensor now and it's accurate to within 0.5 mmol/l most of the time so quite impressive. It's made me notice that I am having hypos in the night whilst I'm asleep so I'm now able to correct that. It's also addictive to try and keep levels tight which is a good thing. Highly...

Ok got it and set it up fine. No pain on insertion. First test 5.1 so I double checked it with my accu check and that said 5.0 so really impressed so far.

It arrives in an hour or so. So excited

Ordered. Now just playing the waiting game.

Good enough for me, will order now. Cheers.

Hi guys. Just about to pull the trigger and order one of these. What I want to know is, is it worth it? I've read loads of mixed reviews and I'm really not sure about the accuracy of it. I'm t1 and sugars at the moment are running quite high. Ok I'll tell the truth I'm getting a bit lazy as far...

Brill thanks guys. Bloods were 6.7 before my lunch of fruit and berrys, 2 hours later just before my dinner and it was 6.9 with 2units novorapid. Well happy.

Hi guys. Just switched to a low carb diet. I've been type 1 for 3 years now and had enough of terrible sugar levels. Just want to check over my diet with you to make sure it looks OK. B: 11am - 2/3 egg omelette with bacon mushrooms and cheese. L: 3pm - 100% Greek style yoghurt with...
