Hi, it’s not my first experience with it, I have used it before, it just felt like it was never going to get a reading! Thankfully it did start working after about 8 hours of being on. If my sugar drops to around 4.5 or less it reads lower and takes a good while to spring back even when a...

And I wouldn’t drive either unless I was confident, but I react quickly to hypo treatment as I always have and I don’t need to snack after (unless already planned to like yesterday) the reason for a temporary basal after hypo treatment is to stop you going low again within the next hour, which...

In fact it was so close that I tested with the other hand and it read 4.2 which would have been acceptable!!

We’re not actually under the dvla here though they are only guidelines not enforced as we have our own and I could understand if it was a major hypo of if I was going to drive for 2 hours, but we can’t do that where I live. A 5 minute drive home when your sugar is 6 is not a problem. I do...

Ok so, I have always been well controlled, am not on the Omnipod and libre (libre because of pregnancy funded by our local diabetes charity). Yesterday the nurse put a new libre sensor on for me, it began reading LO but I knew I wasn’t low so I checked, I was 5.6. I checked again just after my...

I’m turning 30 on January! Will have been type one for 20 years in December x

Some of you may remember I had my son Arlo last year after a very complicated pregnancy (none of it diabetes related) my waters broke at 19 weeks, he was born at 27 weeks and tragically passed away 6 weeks and a day later.[emoji174] We have been ttc for a few months and I got a positive on...

Thank you everyone! I will try these suggestions! Just been getting a bit down with them! Normally I'd have them on the second i received them, but this last one sat in my cupboard a week because I just couldn't be bothered! I need a solution because if I get pregnant again, which we're...

Thank you, I'm just wondering about the skin tac wipe, I was told not to use them around the area the cannula goes in on my pod as it forms a barrier the needle may not be able to penetrate? Do you not find this with the libre and skin tacs? I can be pretty accurate where I put the wipe with my...

Ok, so I love the libre! Really enjoy using it and I think it's fab! My only trouble is the fall out ALL THE TIME! What am I doing wrong! I put one in on Sunday and went upstairs to change my top, before I looked in the mirror (half an hour after it was put in) and it was hanging out of my...

Hello, We are currently ttc. We lost our son, Arlo, last year. [emoji174] I stopped contraception in July so I'm just getting used to my natural cycle I'm finding a massive difference between my readings throughout my cycle! I'm on a pump. Does anyone change their basal rates according to...

I'm pleased to report I'm the second person I know who has tried out the libre and omnipod at a theme park and I would like to report no problems with either! I was a little high after lunch, but feel that was more user error than any machinery! No problems to report, despite their warnings. I...

Hello, I have phoned freestyle customer services, they were no help whatsoever! I am about to put a new libre on, but we are going to Alton towers on Monday! Do these rights with their magnetism affect the libre and it's workings? Also, I asked this question about a year and a half ago, but...

8.3 can't seem to get my overnights sorted!!!!

Hello again lovely ladies. I was previously here under 'sarahkylie88' but I forgot my password and the email linked to that username no longer works. I think because I was inactive it automatically signed me out!! I'm a type one diabetic and have been for almost 20 years! As some of you know...
