    Best Basal

    For me, tresiba is much more tolerant of delays in injecting it. For night time hypos OR hypers I tend not to trust the readings from a CGM.

    Very high Blood sugar overnight and still rising

    Apart from the good advice above, if you defer eating after taking insulin then you need to keep an eye on the levels - sometimes the levels can suddenly fall after an hour (or after much longer). As always, the general scare is excessively high levels in the long term, but hypos are a more...

    Libre2 - expires after long hypo ?

    At the risk of Too Much Information: Yes, Abbot replace sensors, but it is absolute guesswork when a replacement will arrive (previous email notification was on a Sunday, arrived Thursday, latest email notification was on a Saturday, arrived Tuesday - and because of my wake/sleep patterns and...

    Cheap test strips anywhere?

    For lancets I think you can only get them on prescription in the UK, I assume you would need to find a GP who will see you as a private patient.

    Freestyle Libre 2 - constant false signal loss alarms

    To all previous posters in this thread - thanks! I was at a freestyle webinar this morning, then fitted the sensor, scanned it with my phone, got a reading after an hour, ready to see how it goes. Set up alarms. Sensor is on right arm, phone in left pocket or (latterly) within a metre of the...
