At last it has downloaded the reader! Until the next time.....

I'm using the freestyle libre. I have the app on my phone, but during the night my husband scans me with the reader. I know I have to connect the reader to my pc to upload the readings, but every time I try it says I have to install a driver, which I have done twice now. Is this normal? In case...

Thanks for your reply. I've got my bloods at decent levels now so I know it's not a false hypos. I did get them at first. I've now been in contact with my diabetes nurse and after her going through some questions she said she doesn't think it's hypos and to call my gp surgery, which I just have...

Hi, I wonder if someone can help me. Most of this week I have been feeling jittery and light headed, unstable on my feet and can't speak properly, tongue feels a bit wooly. Its as if I'm about to go into a hypo, but when checking my bg it's at a reasonable level. For example I've just taken it...

Does anyone else feel really hungry after having a hypo? I'm fairly new to having these after being rediagnosed from type 2 to LADA. I started on insulin beginning of March.

Thanks Searley. The both points you make, the 55 mins peak and 1 unit = 3mmols I did not know, so that's very informative [emoji4]

Hi, The last couple of days my bloods have been running high between 11 - 13, I think it's due to a cold that's starting on me. I was taking a bit more fiasp insulin to try and bring it down. Last night just before bedtime my bg was 16. I took 4 units of fiasp and tested my bg 30 mins later...

Yes I get that sometimes. I've only been on insulin for a few weeks now. I'm also covered in bruises...

Thank you for offering, I've managed to change it [emoji4]

Cheers for that [emoji106] I've edited it now [emoji4][emoji4]

Sorry, I didn't mean to put counting calories, I meant carb counting

Hi sorry for the mix up. I don't even know why I put Calorie Counting, I meant carb counting.....

Hi which is the best Calorie Counting App for UK? I'm newly diagnosed t1, LADA and I've been on insulin for a couple of weeks. My DSN and dietitian has now said to count the carbs and work out insulin needed before each meal. I was told to download an app called Carbs and Cals but the reviews...

I have only recently been rediagnosed as LADA, after almost 7 years of being mis diagnosed as type 2. I had been losing a lot of weight and was sent to a diabetes clinic. I started insulin 2 weeks ago and now I can't stop eating! I've put on almost a stone in weight. Coupled with coronavirus...

Thanks for your replies. I'll certainly give the bumph in the med boxes a read.

Oh and yes I'm on statins

Thanks for the advice, I will do

I'm on 10g morphine twice a day, 300mg pregabalin, twice a day. 50mg amitriptyline and 1000mg paracetamol 3 times a day. I haven't been given any guidance. My DSN knows all the meds I'm on but didn't say whether or not they attributed to a reason why my bg is higher. I just started insulin 2...

I'm type 1, LADA to be precise, not long re-diagnosed after being told I was T2 since 2013. I'm now insulin dependant. I also have arthritis in my hips, knees and lumbar and take pain relief medication and just wondering if these can make bg spike? If so does anyone know when the best time to...

I got the c-peptide test which came back that I'm still producing some insulin but I have been put on insulin. I was a week on the 24hr one and I got called yesterday to go back to the clinic to get the meal time one and taken off all pills. My bg is still running a bit high, still in double...
