Phone Roche, they are fab at sorting stuff like that out, mine did something similar a few months ago but can't quite remember what it was, some sort of factory re set that they talked me through over the phone!! Oh! They did also say change the battery in the pump first as that can be down to a...

I agree with the' have some carbs before you walk', exactly what I used to do but as im now trying to lose a few lbs I have worked out a couple of other tricks that work! First I wait and have breakfast or lunch before i walk my dog (40mins -1.5hrs) and dont bolus for my meal ( about 15 carbs)...

I dab some tea tree oil or baby oil around mine using a cotton bud and leave it a few mins and then i find it easier to pull off.

I have 1 in at the moment that was a bleeder, i put it in before bed and had it covered with a piece of tubigrip, in the morning there was a large blob of blood on the tubigrip and i could see where it had come through the middle of the sensor. I left it in and 8 days on it is still working v...

Mine predicted 6.5 but was 6.9.

Well done, that is fantastic!! I would never have believed it could be done without loads of hypo's pre libre. You are a great advert for both libre and keto! Im self funding my libre at the moment, not easy but small price for my health and still a little scared to go keto but slowly cutting...

I purchased a box of coco pops for the children whilst away with a friend last week and her son was thrilled it was the old recipe, he told me they have now reduced the sugar in the recipe, so i checked the ingredients against a box of the new recipe to find out what they have changed!!! The...

Hi, again im just a whipper snapper at just 34 yrs type1! Like you the exercise balance has always driven me mad. But I have in the last week found a formula that seems to be working for now!! I eat quite low carb at about 50 a day. I eat my fruit and double cream in the mornings before an hrs...

Ive noticed a pattern since i went on a pump ( about 11 yrs ) my usual pattern was 1 week before i went resistant and needed 130% basal but the day my period started i was much more sensitive and needed to drop my basal to 80% and this could last for a week!! That said over the last few months...

Going to come at this from a different angle... It may not apply to you at all but have you ever tracked your sugars over your monthly cycle?!? It is amazing how much the change in hormones during the month effects our sugar. I have only had my libre since September and there is a clear pattern...

I remember my first day clearly (11yr ago) I was only the 4th person at my hospital to go on a pump, the nurse wanted me to have lunch at the hospital so I suggested a pub would be tastier and so we trotted off to a local pub with the pump rep!! Was feeling as scared as you as after the lunch i...
