Mel, How do you get on with the Libre on your upper chest, I've been thinking about putting it there but wasn't sure about comfort and accuracy?

I wear leathers over my Libre with no problems at all, and scans ok through them too.

I use a HumaPen LUXURA HD with Humalog cartridges

Why on earth would you inject in a toilet? I might not inject in my **** in public but anywhere on my body else is fine. :)

You're supposed to change the lancet? :oops:;)

Doh, I'll have to get a new phone now as my 5 doesn't cut the mustard! ;)

Thanks for all the responses everyone it's always a surprise and oddly comforting to me to know that there are so many others going through the same trials and frustrations as me :banghead::).

A pump would be lush however, an HBa1c of 6.4 is deemed "to good for a pump" in Oxfordshire. I was double checking the libre with finger pricking as I too had heard about the pressure thing, but the lows were real.

My basal seems ok, I use Libre and up until about 5 or 6am all is usually stable and then my BG just starts rising. I have tried increasing my evening basal and I just end up Hypoing over night.

Most mornings my blood starts going sky high (upto 17 ish mmol/l) before I wake up from about 5 am and I spend most of the rest of the day chasing it down again. I went onto Levimir (AM and PM) from Lantus in an attempt to solve this however, I not having much success. I've read that some...

Has anyone found the code for Jan 2018 yet?

I fear that you may be right, and it may be some time before any decisions are made.:banghead:

Spoke to my GP about prescribing Libre in November, unsurprisingly he didn't really know anything about it (he described it as a button thinky on my arm)! A quick look on the internet-super-highway found the attached, looks like it's a no go for the foreseeable. If only these people realized...

It's worth ringing/emailing the libre help desk as they are usually quite understanding and very often replace sensors. They will probably be interested in what your bloke did anyway as they are always looking for ways to improve the system.

I use SIS 60g pouches (22g of carbs) every 5k with a starting BG of 7-10 and this keeps me about right. http://www.scienceinsport.com/uk/sis-go-gel-bundle?gclid=CKTjpJq8ydQCFaW17QodoCkM0g&gclsrc=aw.ds

Tim, thanks for the info, I'll try that at the weekend. I'm using 5mm needles, so would be surprised if I'm intramuscular.

I'm using Humalog for bolus on MDI's and I'm finding that with me rather than it peeking in about 2 hrs and tailing off over the next 3ish hrs as most information about it suggests. I'm peeking in about 1hr and it's almost all gone in about 2 1/2 hrs (based on Libre data). My questions are:-...

My current steed is an SP2

This was published recently in the Lancet and I've found it useful for running.
