    Is there any Type 1 who on libre 3?

    Yes, I’m using the libre 3 and it is much better than the 2, it’s much smaller also. Don’t need to scan it like you did with the libre 2 either. It’s a continuous feed from the sensor to your phone. Just need to download the libre 3 app on android or iPhone. I’ve got it for the iPhone.

    Type 1 Blood sugars

    Quick question, what if you have none of the above, no extra medications, no illness, what do you think could be the problem there? Also my blood sugars are higher than “normal” in the mornings too, so thinking maybe about upping my longer lasting insulin

    Type 1 Blood sugars

    Quick question, does anyone know why the past 4 or 5 days my blood sugars are not coming down like they use to after dosing the correct amount of insulin for carbs?? They go up and keep going, until I put extra insulin in to bring them down. Thanks

    Type 1 Erratic blood sugars

    No, it usually went up for a little while then dropped down to normal between meals. But since not feeling too great 3-4 days ago it just keeps going up and up until I put in a correction dose, which at the minute can be anything from 8 plus units. I’ll have a look in the pharmacy today after...

    Type 1 Erratic blood sugars

    Hi, thank you, how would I get testing strips? Do the diabetic team give them to you, or do you have to purchase them yourself? I hardly see my team it’s all done over email for some reason, The readings are just higher than normal, I’m dosing for the food I’m eating, but it still goes up to the...

    Type 1 Libre 3

    I think prescriptions of the libre 3 sensor come into affect in December this year, but don’t quote me on that! I myself am in wales so I can’t really comment how things are done in England etc. sorry

    Type 1 Libre 3

    I’m not sure what the criteria is, but I think because the way my “case of diabetes” has been handled by them they just said yes when I said I wanted a more accurate sensor, libre 2 is good. But keeps asking to be scanned quite regularly, so I mentioned the libre 3, I was told a letter would be...

    Type 1 Libre 3

    I didn’t say it was on prescription, I was told by my diabetic clinic that some sort of contract has to be signed or something because they are in short supply at the moment.

    Type 1 Libre 3

    Brilliant, thank you. I’m sure it won’t be long before it’s released for iOS again here in the uk, but for the time being, a cheap(ish) android will suffice until they do. I’m an iPhone user myself purely because I’m use to the iOS system, and find it easy to use, so hopefully won’t be too long...

    An right ok, well looks like I’ll be looking for the cheapest android with this then. I’ve just read that majority of them have it, all the latest do. But some of the older ones do not. Thank you.

    Type 1 Libre 3

    I thought an android phone was an android phone, maybe need updating with whatever android use, as I know apple use iOS, but as long as the system update was up to the current one it would be ok I’m guessing.

    Thank you, I’ll try and find that video, it would save me having to buy a cheap android phone for the time being to operate it.

    Type 1 Libre 3

    At the minute here in the uk, I’ve been told there’s no reader for the 3 yet, and the only app for it at the moment is on Android which means I would have to buy a new phone just to be able to use the 3

    Type 1 Libre 3

    Hi guys, have been on libre 2 for less than a month, and because of my type of work I’ve been offered the libre 3, is anyone else using the 3 at the moment? I’ve heard it’s better and smaller than the 2, but it’s needs android phone to use at the moment.
