I just been speaking with libre support about inaccuracy. They keep telling me to allow 10-15 after bg tests. Yet according to there own website it says 2.4 minutes. I told them this lot's of times. You can't have both. They are sending me a reader and sensor. They previously sent a neo meter...

I have not had a retinal screening for over 2years. Despite me having extreme laser treatment a while back.

Reckon that's how it will be from now on. Once covid is finished, it will carry on being like this.

Sorry to say this, but since the pandemic things have may have taken it's toll. Seeing a gp doesn't seem to happen, just a phone call if your lucky. DSN appointments don't happen. I don't think it ever will again. Surely they are all being paid still. Might as well just ask google. Will...

I met a young mother a couple of months ago outside a shop. She had a libre that was visable. I said hello, and said I have one on. She told me she was type2 but was varying a lot and had been issued one.

My previous couple of sensors were often 2 out or more. My current unit though, after first couple of day's usually 1 or slightly better. Quite often though if I scan say 5minutes apart it changes quite a lot. Yet the arrow shows straight across...this happens when the first reading is out, so...

I use an insight pump with soft flexible canula. Like it a lot, a bit slow with the remote handset but works well. I did improve lumps by slowing down the insulin bolus speed. I am now on slowest speed, so takes over a minute to deliver, say 5 units. By doing this it gives the area more time...

Took me about 3 years, 2 changes of DSN and a consultant retired. My present DSN"s are wonderfull. So knowledgable and understanding

I have a samsung cheapo A10 It's not easy to scan, but I put up with it. But sometimes when I scan and get a reading, put phone down it tries to scan again.

So how much difference are you getting compared with bg tests. Thanks

Hi all I have been on the libre 1 for quite a while and found them reasonably accurate. Often quite good compared to bg. Why is the 2 nowhere near as good in my opinion. Yet they are advertised as being more accurate. I am on my 3rd libre 2 sensor and all not very good. Don't they get people...

I am also on both, but still libre 1 at moment. We were told to always use blood tests for decision making as it was more accurate. Libre although good I feel it's best to use the pump equipment especially for meal bolus

My results are also higher since the the jab. But it's only been 2 day's yet. But before I had it my control was very good. Had to increase my basal, also my bolus ratio on pump. Going on holiday soon as well. Hoping it improves. I was not spiking hardly after meals but I am now.

I put my insight pump in a pump pouch that is incorporated into a nice soft elasticated belt. I get them off Ebay. Are available in blue or very light tan. No buckles, a simple popper to shut. Quite cheap

I do not have an alarm on my libre. I have to scan to see results

Thankyou all for your replies. They give me good guidelines. Some on web were quite high(perhaps they were coated ones).

Hi all I am a type 1 diabetic on a pump. I have a small allotment,and grow broad beans. I use only natural fertilizer. But I am struggling to find how many carbs in them. I have been eating them for a while now. Internet seems to give different values. Thankyou all

I like my insight. It is slowish, but not too bad. If you hold finger on top button for at least 5secs (when on) it resets and speeds it up. I often do this process a couple of times and hold it down about 8secs, whilst it turns fully off.

I was on fiasco for about 9 months in a pen.(now on insight pump). At the start it was very good fast insulin. But I found the longer I was on it the speed and effectiveness lessened. It ended up being slower than humalog or the actrapid I am now on. So it was getting less effective as time went...

I usually do something else whilst it is sorting, getting dressed,put kettle on or breakfast on. If you hold top button on for a few seconds every day, it resets and speeds up slightly. But otherwise I like it
