My comment wasn't meant as offensice to T2'a btw, I just stated it because it was posted in "Type 1 Diabetes"

you may have known the brand as GlucoTabs, they were relaunched inder the new brand name Lift in 2019

I see it states you are Type 1, ask your team if you can obtain it on prescription if its something you decide to continue with xx

Although most of them contain a moisturiser so not the best thing to use

I may get slated here but to be fair 1 chocolate a day isn't going to cause great harm in the scheme of things, many Type 2's have a small treat here and there, I have seen many a posts where a diabetic will wonder why their sugars are a bit up and down and they don't understand why as they have...

@Jaylee may I PM you please? xx

I've used both Tegaderm and Cutoderm film patches but with the heat I've started to have issues with them, now becoming really itchy under it etc (although only started this year and I've been using Libre for 2 years), I've just recently went for a libre armband that I'll be trying out on my...

I don't mean to sound harsh but I slightly envy people that have had bad periods and been diabetic years and have no complications, I was diagnosed with my first eye related condition less than a month into my Type 1, the second less than 2 years in despite good control so things could be worse

I can't help on the medication front as I refuse to take medication for it but what type of OCD are they suffering? I don't go out and haven't for a year but that's because I have contamination OCD and anciety and am absolutely petrified but I understand how OCD effects a persons life on a daily...

Complain higher than the shop itself, contact the actual company, you were in a medical emergency and you are allowed to take off your mask to treat them, /i wouldn't stand for that at all xx

That's good then! Yeah I'd get in touch with the GP then as you may have some other sort of infection brewing, no harm in contacting them :) xx

I'd book a test personally which I'm pretty sure is the advice anyway xx

Well doesn't seem useless to me The DSN isn't to know the amount of carbs you can tolerate as the individual you are so they can hardly tell you how many carbs to eat, only you can find how many you can tolerate through testing

Sometimes though there feels like a "layer" of moisturiser is left on my arm after my shower though so I feel better getting that off before applying xx

With the news that as of this month Abbott will no longer be providing alcohol wipes with the Libre does anyone know where I could get my hands on some that are larger than what's supplied with them? xx
