Hi there, I've just been for my 3 monthly eye screening check (as last time they said I had signs of maculopathy). I've been so anxious about the whole thing since my last scan, and I've really improved my diabetes control, but I do realise this can have the reverse affect at first. I had my...

Hi there, I wanted to ask you guys about improving your glucose levels and potentially improving your eye health/reversing maculopathy? My last screening said I have signs of maculopathy and so I’m very keen to do everything I can to improve my levels. I understand that instant improved levels...

Hi everyone, Sorry it’s been a while since I’ve posted here. I just wanted to talk to you guys as it is really hard sometimes managing diabetes constantly. I’ve had it for about 20 years now, and apart from when I was a child, I haven’t really ever had ‘good’ levels.. they’ve been okay but...

Yes, me too. I really wanted a pump but they said I didn’t qualify. Hopefully you can get one at some point

That is exactly how I’m feeling! It’s so frustrating sometimes

Thank you so much for your advice, that’s really helpful I appreciate it! I don’t feel like I can talk to them about it because they didn’t really seem to listen to me last time I spoke to them, but maybe I can try again :) I think maybe you’re right, I need to compensate for my BG going high in...

Hi everyone, I hope you're all okay. I just wanted to chat to you because I'm feeling so overwhelmed with controlling diabetes at the moment, I'm doing all the stuff I should be like testing regularly and injecting with meals etc. but it just doesn't seem to be going right. I've been diabetic...

Hi everyone, I hope you’re all okay. I just felt like coming on here today as I had my first face to face diabetic review since covid which I was actually looking forward to, to properly see them. (I’ve had appointments but they’ve been on video chat and they didn’t manage to get my meter...

Hi everyone, I’ve noticed that my hypo alarm on my libre app is a different alert noise to my high glucose alarm, and I can’t see how to change that. Does anyone know how to do this? Thank you, Jessica

Thank you everyone for your answers that’s really good to know. I didn’t know that they did that if they’ve had pressure for a while. Sometimes I believe they have been real lows, for instance this morning once my alarm had gone and I had woken up I realised I did feel low. Maybe that’ll be best...

Hi there, I have started with a Freestyle Libre within the last 6 months, (I’ve not currently got alarms turned on), and I’ve noticed that I’ve been having hypos during the night and not realised. Do you think this might be that I wasn’t aware of them before, or could it be more likely that...

Thats great, thanks everyone for your help. I don’t actually use alcohol wipes but maybe I should get some and those patch things look good too. Best wishes, Jessica

Hi all, This is the first time I’ve had the freestyle libre sensors in the hot summer, and the last two sensors have really struggled to stay on. This evening it has completely come off three days before the end of the 14 days (I even tried to partially stick it with superglue!). I think it’s...

I know, it so frustrating sometimes! Okay great, water sounds good, thank you both

Hi all, I hope you’re all okay. I’ve recently been having a lot of hypos (far too many for my liking!) and during the night I’m so concerned about the sugar damage to my teeth. Obviously I will always try to brush them when possible, but a ometimes if I’m staying with people it’s not convenient...

Hi all, I got my first freestyle libre sensor about 6 days ago and have been happy with it. I did notice that the direction arrows to show where your sugars may be heading seem quite inaccurate though. Has anyone else found this? For example, I tested 10.1 and it said I was going rapidly down...

That’s helpful, thanks everyone for your suggestions. I tried do not disturb last night and that seemed to work well. I hadn’t thought about airplane mode with Bluetooth on, that’s a good idea! Thanks again. Jessica

Hi all, I just wanted to do a quick post to say I’ve just got my first freestyle libre sensor sent after being approved! I was so excited to get started with it and it seems amazing so far. I’m just trying to work out a couple of things. Basically I used to put my phone on Airplane mode...

Hi all, I hope you’re all doing okay. I just wanted some advice really, as I’ve been noticing a lot of mid morning highs, even when my levels have been good first thing. For example, my blood sugar might have been 6 at 8am, and then will always rise to roughly 13 at about 10:30-11:45am. This...

Thank you, I appreciate your help. I’ll set an alarm and monitor it overnight. Thanks again
