So Im going on a long haul flight in June. It will be my first since having the Libre 2 sensor fitted. I went to the dr and just wanted to get a letter (which looks like a shopping list) with all my meds and the need to have the dextro tablets with me in case of hypos.. what I didnt know about...

Yep.. hot chocolate is like kryptonite to diabetics. My dentist also thinks its worse than sweets on my teeth but thats another matter….

Yea that overcompensation is the killer …

Been watching it like a hawk today…. It took ages to come down but im back in the green thanks to more protein… yep, that dreaded arrow drop [emoji652]️

Yes,thank you.. just shown your message to my partner because he feels i was excessive with the eating ! Its hard for people to really understand how it feels

Thank you [emoji1488] I usually rely on the finger prick because i know its more accurate but this time the BG was reading 3 and the Libre was on 2.8 so it was defo low and yes that lag is annoying…. I did test after 15ms and it hardly changed so i panicked… again lol . Great advice though (the 15g)

Good morning all Last night I took my eye off the ball and gave myself way too much insulin for what I ate. As a result , about an hour later I had one of the worst hypos I have had in years… it dropped down to 2.8 on the Libre sensor and 3 on the blood glucose test. It was late at night and I...

Sorry, that didn’t make much sense lol.. I mean I dont understand how the 2 readings can be so different.

Yes, i had to change the sensor in the middle of the night and when i took it out the needle didn’t even look like a needle and was bendy and soft. The new one seems to get ok. I was reading 7.6 and the finger prick was 6.7…. I understand that the finger prick is always gonna be more accurate...

Update…. Changed the sensor as the finger prick was now showing 14 and the sensor was saying 4.1. … got to wait an hour to see if its better

Hi Its 3:27am (English time) and I have been woken up 4 times with my sensor alarm for suspected ‘low’ readings. [emoji42][emoji31]. Im exhausted. The sensor has only been on for 8 hours as I changed it last night. I have done a few finger pricks and when the sensor said 3.8 the finger pricks...

I appreciate this. Thank you

Thank you. I have had CBT before because I went through a point where I couldn’t tell the difference between a hypo and a panic attack ( this was prior to the Libre2 sensor and I had to depend on my accu check mobile). I had to travel to work on a packed tube in central London and thought I was...

Thank you [emoji1488]

Thank you for the warm welcome [emoji846].. Thank you all for your replies. These are really helpful. I will look at the website and see what further info I can get before making a decision to apply or not. My workplace have in the meantime recommended ‘Access to work’ program as diabetes is a...

Hello I was wondering whether any UK forum users are on here who are receiving Personal Independence payments? I have been on insulin for a good few years and have had real anxiety about hypos in a job where I have to travel alot and only just found out that I may be eligible for Pip if the...
