Hi, I had exactly the same as you on the flozin, I tried as I was also told to try and keep with it, I tried all the creams, tablets etc but it was unbearable. I just stopped it and told my hospital diabetic team I just could not stand the problems ‘down there’ that no woman, man or beast...

Hi, I was on this and to my knowledge it was a mix and of long acting and short acting insulin, (70/30 split if I recall correctl) which does need to be injected 30mins before eating. I also found my sugars hard to control on this and was eventually changed to a different regime. If your Mum...

That’s interesting about the weight loss all you hear / read about is how much people have lost in a very short space of time. I just thought my body / metabolism was super defective .

Hi, I am on Mounjaro now and insulin. My insulin needs have gone down which is great, I have high insulin resistance which meant I was taking a lot but since starting the Mounjaro the amount for both basal and bolus has reduced quite significantly. My Endo consultant put me on it because I had...

Hi, You will need to let DVLA know, you can do this online. They will then contact your GP to confirm a few things then you will be sent documents to fill in for medical driving licence. You shouldn’t have any issues with getting one to drive your car, no I know ever has to be honest. The...

Hi, funnily enough, had a call back today from my DSN after my consult earlier this week and they have recommended I go on this, so just waiting now for the letter to go to my GP to prescribe it. bit nervous of any side effects but very hopeful about the reduction in insulin resistance and any...

Hello, I was on Forxiga for almost a year, and I found it very helpful in conjunction with a low carb diet to lose weight. I would have quite happily stayed on it but my insulin regime was changed and suddenly I found myself suffering one of the side effects that meant I could not carry on with...

Hi, I have made that journey from tablets to insulin. First of all through the DSN at my GP surgery, and then when things still weren’t going right I had a referral to the hospital. Try not to worry about the appointment, I was very down about things when I went and thought they would just...

It is amazing when you have someone fighting your corner with things isn’t it? I am forever grateful to my Hospital DSN for fighting for mine

Hi, I am in the South West and after finally seeing an endo consultant and hospital DSN end of last year I was approved for a CGM on prescription. You can only have it for type 2 in our area if you are seen by the hospital - even then the consultants and nurses are honest and make no guarantee...

I too am on toujeo and it’s helped so much, I had to increase until my levels were in the steady high 5s and low 6s overnight. I have not had any reactions or issues with it so I hope the same keeps going for you.

I had to get a new phone as the iPhone I had was too old and would not support the app. have found no issues with the app on my new one which is a iPhone.

I would let Abbott know, I had one similar wore it for 10 days and it suddenly started telling me I was very low but checked with a meter and it was no were near as low. I was just going to leave it as it was near to replacing anyway. Then mine early on the 11th day just told me it had ended...

Me too, the first time it happened I had only just sat down and it started going off by the 3rd time I switched it off and just checked in the interval.

Ah thanks, I didn’t think of other people’s Bluetooth affecting it, but that makes sense.

Hi, Yes, I am also type 2 on insulin, I have had it 14 years now. But I still have bad insulin resistance, so have to stick to low carb. I am on a basal and bolus regime and have been granted a CGM on prescription as well - something I am eternally grateful for. But even though I am on...

Hi, I have only been out a couple of times to see a show at either an old theatre or a modern venue since getting the Libre 2 late last year but noticed each time that even though I had my phone close by - as in not in a handbag or pocket but on my lap the app kept saying lost signal. I even...

Hi, so I am on tougeo as well and once you have found the dose that works best for you it does sit there overnight quite happy and stable. I am different being a type 2 so although I also use a bolus of trurapi I don’t generally have to do a correction dose before bed. I would say though when...

I think all of us at some point have been given the standard answers by the medical professionals because that’s what they are told tell us. It’s not an easy situation to be in with cost of living how it is and that you don’t have the means to freeze or store leftovers.. But it might be worth...

When did the update happen? I don’t think I have anything to say a new update was out. Although my sensor declared it had stopped 4 days early this morning and to scan new sensor, it had been showing me consistently low when I wasn’t for a couple of days before that. I was just going to let it...
