Never had any problems affecting my Libre when going through airport security scanners

Last time I flew I took a GP letter AND a copy of my prescriptions which you get when you collect your prescription. All prescriptions had the pharmacys sticky label on with my name and date issued. I rang the airline before travelling and gave my details and told them I would be carrying meds...

Hi lelow; Just picked up on this thread. How did you get on?

I've had T1 for around 46 years and couldn't have cared less about my control for decades. I reached 23st ate and drank what I liked when I liked ending up having to have Roux en Y bariatric surgery to lose 10 st. Control far more difficult since losing weight as more sensitive to insulin. My...

I asked to switch from Novorapid to Fiasp in April. Have been prescribed it no problem since without any availability issues. Last issue of 3 packs was 2 weeks ago.

It already does that but I was trying to convert it to a CGM so I can get readings without having to scan it. Don't want to spend £££ on a bluetooth transmitter as the Sony SW3 watch I have uses early firmware to enable NFC and seems pretty basic so not sure which bluetooth transmitters will...

You could try nominating Superdrug as your repeat prescription collection pharmacy. Then they can see you get your insulin on prescription from them so can't argue.

Use my S7 Edge since May no problems.

Just jumped onto the end of this thread but if that includes VAT and you're a T1 you can pay nett of VAT making it £35.00

Daisy1 The OP is only asking if there are any other T1 Emergency Service workers on the forum not for info on controlling it.

If there's no fridge in my room hotels usually allow me to store it in a fridge in the kitchen. If there is a fridge in your room be careful.I've had insulin freeze in the top of the "cheap" room fridge doors even though not in the freezer section. During the day I keep insulin pens in a small...

Bit late for replying but ask for a new (free) sensor if they're replacing your meter as the sensor linked to the faulty meter wont be able to be read by the new meter as it's already linked to the faulty meter

46 yrs T1 No complications currently Have had laser and eye injections but not for a few years. Eat and drink what I want when I want and just inject as needed Libre trial I've been on for 4 months (out of 6) is a help as has changing from Novorapid to quicker acting Fiasp to help keep in...

Hi Ask your GP surgery if they have online ordering for repeat prescriptions, I think most do these days I use Patient Access to order my prescriptions (it's an App I use on Andoid).I just tick the items I want (insulins/inhalers/tablets/needles/etc) and add any comments. This way you have a...

About half way through my trial (Durham CCG?) A few chemists say around 5 days for sensors but Cohen's chemists usually get them within a day.

I shave the application area ,shower and then use the excellent cleaning swabs that come with the sensor then allow to dry. Never had one come off and have always have to be "prised" off in the shower under warm running water to remove. Perhaps one reason if users find they're coming off could...

I was on 40u Levemir once a day at 6pm. Diabetoligist told me to split into 20u before work at around 6am and another 20u at 6pm. Been working week for me since splitting the dose 50/50.

In USA its 12 hour to activate , in Europe and Canada it's 1 hour.

Hi all Type 1 for almost 46 years coming up 50 next month No complications and eat and drink what I want when I want Lost control for a while when I lost over 10st in 6 months due to increased insulin sensitivity. I remember before blood sugar testing having a test tube ,dropper and tablets...
