    Getting hypo alerts with libre, blucon and xDrip+

    I don't really know what I'm doing as I've only been using this system since Christmas Eve, but did you set the hardware data source to be Libre Bluetooth?

    Blucon Nightrider for Libre

    I ordered mine from https://www.ambrosiasys.com/ It's a US site so the price is in dollars. I don't think you can buy it anywhere else. There was a customs charge when it was delivered, which is VAT plus £8 post office handling fee. You can reclaim the VAT part by writing to Border Force and...

    insight pump?

    My daughter has the women's version of the hid-in belt & it's difficult to prise it off her to be able to wash it. It's by far the best pump belt she's ever had. You can't see she's wearing a pump & even goes on the trampoline without it ever falling down or slipping off. They're £25 from Hid-in...
