I have just removed number 5 and find I have a half circle of reaction. It is not as bad as some, but will email the photo to Abbott. I had already decided to have a break too as I needed to consolidate my thoughts and actions. I did really miss it yesterday and could have avoided huge...

Happy New Year. Thanks all for your info. I have started a notebook today with serial numbers, lot numbers, dates sensor started, ended. I am also going to log how early I insert the sensor before activating, as recommended here. I have just had a week in the French Alps, walking in the...

Hi Sarah I have just joined this site too. Diaganosed myself at 65 years - 18 months ago. It was very confusing at first and I got very angry as no one gave me the skills to work out the hows and whys. ASAP I recommend you go an Diabetes UK weekend course (saved my sanity) and nag and...
