Here is an article about it. https://www.diabetesdaily.com/blog/freestyle-libre-3-cleared-in-europe-smaller-thinner-and-no-more-scanning-672054/ Here is a video about the Libre 3. Sounds like it will be available in Europe in the next few months but will take longer to get to the UK and US.

The Libre estimated HBa1c has been close to the actual number number for me. I have only only used sensors occasionally, so differences have been expected. May be different for people with volatile blood glucose, because of the 10-15 minute delay between blood glucose and interstitial fluid...

The incretin medicine increases insulin production when you eat, so the afternoon hypo could be reactive hypoglycemia. Try not having any carbohydrate with lunch, like a chicken salad, and see if that makes a difference.

The new Libre 3, which has been approved in Europe, connects with a smartphone through bluetooth, so no bridge needed. It os also approved for insulin delivery. Sounds like you, because of the active job, would benefit from using a pump. The new pumps can adjust basal rates to match the effect...

I found the results of this study interesting:

No, they have changed the cartridge diameter, so a Lantus cartridge can't be used on a Novo pen. The new Lantus Allstar pen is an improvement on the old one, but still no memory feature. The next generation of reusable pens will have bluetooth connectivity, so that will change.

The doctor most likely ordered antibody tests. Look for them in the test results. The main antibody tests are ICA, IAA, GADA, IA-A2 and ZnTBA. 90% of people with T1 diabetes test positive for 2 or more of them. If it is T1, an urgent appointment to get started on insulin treatment would be a...

Insulinoma doesn't cause RH. Bit it could be RH and insulinoma.

This is the problem. She has become totally reliant on a device that can fail. Sounds like using MDI for a month is a program to give manual treatment options should the automated technology fail. Children should be able to deal with it at 12. At this age, they also become more independent...

Sounds like your basal rates are not what they need to be. When they are right, you should never go hypo. You can test your basal rates by skipping a meal and monitoring blood glucose until the next meal. If blood glucose goes low, the basal infusion rate for that time of day is too high. If...

Ask for a NovoPen Echo at your diabetes clinic. It is available in 1 and .5 unit dosage and it remembers your last injection. No charge.

What an ordeal! Doesn't sound like T1, but I would want to have that possibility eliminated by having the antibody tests done. The quick weight gain could have caused insulin resistance and the onset of T2 diabetes. So what caused the weight gain? As all the tests came back negative, could it be...

That is fondly referred to by T1 diabetics as 'being on a rollercoaster'. All that carb sends blood glucose all the way up and the insulin eventually sends it all the way down again. With the help of exercise. It takes insulin a while to catch up with the glycemic effect of bread, hence the big...

That test measures blood glucose over the last three months. The second test was just to confirm the diagnosis.

The FMD may reverse metabolic syndrome, which includes reducing demands on the pancreas. But it won't reverse an autoimmune attack on beta cells. Nothing will. The FMD is plant based and a 5 day programme, so not suitable for a newly diagnosed T1. A keto diet is high fat and an ongoing way of...

Only you can figure out the answer to that question. You are still making much of your own insulin, and you need to figure out how much to supplement at mealtimes. Be guided by the amount of carbohydrate in the meal. The general rule is that mealtime boluses should return blood glucose to the...

Have you tried shifting the Lantus shot to the morning? You could also try splitting the dose between evening and morning shots. I take my whole Lantus does in the morning, and it still makes me go hypo the next morning. I have reduced the Lantus down to 11 units and fill the basal insulin gap...

Try it out and see what happens. The theory is that insulin stops lipolysis, not glucose. But eating carb certainly kicks me out of ketosis.

That sounds like there may not be enough basal insulin action to keep blood glucose down in the target range between meals. Test this by skipping a meals and monitoring blood glucose until the next meal. If it goes up by much, more basal action at that time of day is required. The next...

I have heard that concern about metformin and T1 and don't know if it is valid. T2s often use both metformin and insulin and I haven't seen any reports of problems. Metformin is available in NZ but a prescription is required. My doctor prescribed it only because I wanted to try it. At the time I...
