Good news about your BP hopefully just baby lying on your bladder at night or something simple then, keep us posted!

I would call your dr in the morning and let them know. I had preeclampsia when I had my daughter and that had an effect on the kidneys, nothing a bit of hospital care couldn't deal with!!

I have found it a very slow road with the weight loss on low carb, the same as you have found controlling my sugars sooo much easier but the whole of last yr I only lost 7lbs, since xmas I have also started fasting 2 days a week and have already lost about 9lbs! A close friend of mine ( also...

Sometimes my libre doesn't give me accurate readings but the ones I've had have always read lower when I was low and higher when I was high!! Don't think I have in the last 1.5 yrs had one that said I wasnt below 4 when my meter said I was!! I do understand though that it is better to be safe...

No sorry Tipetoo I meant the scales instructions!!

Thank you!! Didnt really think about it until I did that old fashioned thing ( read the instructions ) and it said ' do not use if you use a wearable or implanted devise like a defibullator or pacemaker' just made me wonder.

Good point re airports etc, will give them a go in the morning, only have 2 days left on this sensor anyway!! They are supposed to let you know body fat% etc so thought i would give them a try. Thank you.

Is it ok to use smart scales if you are wearing a libre sensor?!?

Thats why we had ' cavemen! ' we used to need men to do things like that for us!!°

Within a week of being told by government that our children should have no more than 13 ( i think ) cubes of sugar a day and its the parents job to maintain this my daughters school emailed to invite children who don't normally have school dinners to have a special Censors day meal ( a day when...

I noticed years ago that novorapid stops working after 2hrs for me, simply put, if I correct and test after 2 hrs then my sugars won't drop any lower than they have. I knew this because if i checked again half hr/ hr or 2 after then it wouldnt drop any lower. This is now confirmed by using...

I didn't think that Gps and the nurses at their practice could prescribe the libre, I thought it had to come from a consultant!!?? Maybe request your Gp refers you to a specialist to help you deal with the 'high levels' of hypos you are having ( they will only need to look at your excellent...

If she is eating kelloggs coco pops it might be worth trying some own brands, kelloggs have recently 'lowered sugar' in coco pops and replaced it with ' glucose' which will raise sugars even faster than sugar ( although prob not a huge amount ) but may be worth a try along with as others have...

Did you remember to scan it within an hour of starting the sensor?!?

They ( we all ) really need the people prepared to put the effort in to be the first to get it prescribed, it has to be shown to the NHS what a difference it can make in our control, if they hand it out mostly to people who won't use it properly then their control won't get any better and they...

I believe the RMOC says you only have to meet 1 criteria!?!?

The obvious thing to do now is make sure you get a good supply of strips from your gp and test your blood 8+ times a day until your next consultant appointment, madness as will cost the NHS more but their fault if they want to be so stupid!! What they are looking for is the cost of libre will be...

How about ....." yes i was so ashamed to be a diabetic that I had very expensive and painful plastic surgery to hide it, I'm sure you you would feel the same, wouldn't you?!? "

I get my stickers from ' funky Pampers ' i love the 'power button' one best, opens all sorts of jokes about turning me on!!! If its looking lose then I cover with rock tape or the other free option I have used is to cut up an odd sock from the collection I have thanks to the washing machine...

I've used a running belt for a long time and have also slept with mine lose but my latest find was a thigh band I bought from amazon, they come in a pack of 2 and have a pocket for your phone in them, they are basically just the frilly top from a pair of stockings designed to stop your thighs...
