Thanks. This site is so helpful! I haven’t lost hypo awareness but usually about a 2.5-3.6 before I realise these days and , touch wood , don’t have major hypos so maybe a libre would suit but seems to be more info about benefits of Dexcom 5 when I have researched. If I’m self funding I want...

Very helpful info re pre and post bolus thanks. Consultant never even mentioned it [emoji849]

Good to know thanks. Is it similar costings to the libre?

Hi all. 19 years as a type 1. No hospital admissions, control generally been good-fair but last few years lots of random highs and lows and no clear patterns on accu chek mobile graphs. Today I went for my 12 month appointment at the hospital. My HbA1c was 56 which the consultant thinks is...

Just did another accu check says 5 wavesense says 4.9... interesting

Any other comments? I got one today and my accu chek Was 7 that was 8.2??? I'm going to Double test for a while to compare

Toujeo was a nightmare for me - I wrote a thread on it. Started off ok then major highs worse than when I eat chocolate so I went back to Lantus.

Just ordered a free one to try as advertised in Balance magazine this month , as it is supposed to connect wirelessly to iPhone and help chart results etc - anyone tried it yet??

They are disposable pens and defo not that as I tried different ones. Levels are steady and normal today.

Did you choose defective on yellow card?

Terrible! Ask them To switch you back to lantus!!!

I have woke up at 7 now I'm back on lantus phewy!!!!!! Yes I'll take a look at that link. I think Toujeo starts off well then several Months in changes take affects. Interesting to hear how others who continue to use it for a prolonged period i.e. A year or so find it effects them.

Yep .... never met another type 1 adult in my whole time ( met a few children). This seriously hot guy walked into a bar one night, we laughed , we joked and had a good chat... then he announced he was type 1 .... I kid you not!!! We have shares in lucozade and Jelly babies , every cloud :)

Hi guys. I've been diabetic for 19 years , doing well, little background retinopathy but nothing major to worry about ( I hope!) I'm now 36. My partner is also type 1 ( randomly as well - ha ) he's on Levemir. So , I tried the new Toujeo insulin ... I was on Lantus before. Like others I had...

Can anyone tell me the new ranges for hba1c in mml my last reading was 63 which I know is lower than good and must do better but can't remember the ranges now it's changed???

And I'm guessing there's no way of finding out re genes?! 30% isn't as high as I thought but still a good percentage and I wouldn't want to bring type 1 on anyone!!

Just pondering what the chances of a man and woman both with type 1 having a child with type 1? Guessing it's a high chance rate? Also does that increase risk of complications during pregnancy? Has this actually ever occurred? Does anybody know?! Met a great guy .... turns out he's also a type...

Thanks. Hospital checked blood pressure and pupils etc and my friend was staying so all was ok. I've had a 0.9 a long long time ago - years back now after stupidly injecting insulin after a night out boozing and eating chips thinking I would need it - managed to pull that one back just, thank...

I've had type 1 for 17 years and touch wood never had a really serious hospitalised / pass out hypo - don't get me wrong I've had a few very low but manage to recover and nothing like Sunday eve ... I must have known I was low as went to the loo and must have passed out briefly then fell into...
