I have to say I have had actually zero issues and am on the latest update. I googled it when I read your post and all people replying had had no issues either. Which phone are you using?

Could be that the pen says [emoji639]ml on but is a mistake. All sounds very strange. What I will say is an air shot should be done each new needle to ensure the needles are working. I have on occasion had ones that are not. It isn’t wasteful it’s essential.

To be fair that is quite an old phone. They were discontinued February five years ago and the most up to date one is now a sixteen. The way technology moves today it is hard to keep up with.

@Lennycollins Welcome. Although admirable that you are so invested in your child’s well being, perhaps it is time now she is 16 to practise retreating a little. In two years she will be classed as an adult and really it will no longer be appropriate for you to be constantly aware of her levels...

As a type one, that sort of differential in reading I would consider totally negligible and not worth a second thought. If you have access to more than one blood glucose meter and did a test at the same time i bet they would show that sort of differential.

Go Leeds!

@MuttNJeff sorry you have had such problems with the app connected to your Libre. Have worn this device now starting with the basic one, over seven years ago self funding to start with. For me it is a crock of gold and brilliantly accurate. And definitely not a waste of the NHSs money. I just...

Ooh cancelling the flow check. Life’s biggest bug bear. lol!

I definitely have problems with the basal differential between night and day. Only a pump would sort it but I’m not eligible. I just do correction doses throughout the day or split my insulin if I have a larger carb meal.

Afraid so. It tends to go up or remain stubbornly the same. My go tos for reduction in glucose. are vacuuming, gardening and looking after two grandchildren if my experiences yesterday were anything to go by. I ate my weight in Jelly Babies as I don’t think I sat down once.

I’m another that needs insulin before exercise. My morning swim before breakfast always needs a dose. I see all these people advocating a walk after lunch to keep levels in check. For me it has the opposite effect. Very annoying.

Perhaps treat your lows with a bit of quick acting sugar rather an oat cake. It will get you up quicker rather than dropping into a bad hypo. Definitely get yourself onto a basal bolus treatment. As I said earlier a mixed insulin is now not advised for type ones. Constant snacking means you are...

Amazon. Just search and loads come up.

It’s very sad that you were not immediately given support in the first few weeks. Following hospital admission I was in clinic next morning, hitched up with a DN who rang me up every day for a fortnight changing doses as we went. Then she was available by email or phone for questions or help. I...

Me too.

I’m interested why the nurse put you on to that particular mixed insulin. In the NICE guidelines for type one it states that you should no longer be put on that type of insulin. But straight onto the basal bolus regime which is far more flexible. Perhaps be worth questioning.

Not surprised RN25 having just read through this thread. All the red flags were there and I feel your Gp has been very remiss in not taking this more seriously. Hopefully the insulin will make you feel better and you can move forwards and enjoy your new job.

Sticking to the two as long as possible. An extra day upsets my fine tuned changing arrangements.

Weird! Any tests I have are all done at the same time. Bar the retinal scan. Feet etc are done at a Gp at my convienience. Consultant appointments yearly by phone.
