    Thanks, yeah I did 3 readings, while the sensor was reading in the 3’s the finger pricking was in the 5’s. May leave it another day as it’s only been about 24 hours now since I first put it in. But the readings were very close yesterday compared to todays

    Thank you, it was reading 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 when the finger pricks were reading 5.5, 5.7 and 5.8. So may wait another day before contacting Abbott.

    Just a quick question, what do I do if my sensor keeps reading lower than what it is? First time using it was yesterday, and today it’s been reading lower than what it is. Do I take it off and apply the other one, thing is I’ve only been given two and told they have to last the month before...

    Thanks, I also get my sensors on script, I meant why don’t you get the wipes on script? Can collect all in one go then, or do they not do them on script where you are? But again, thanks I’ll check the app out tomorrow. I was told to download the LibreLink app so I’ve just done that, I’ve got an...

    Well I’m going to get very sweaty in the gym, I go 5 days a week, and my job is very demanding also. So just want to make sure it stays on as the nurse said I will only get 2 a month, and if I knock it off etc it’s basically tough I’ll have to wait until the following month for the other two

    Hi, quick question, I’m going to be having the sensor end of this week, and was wondering if there were a tape that’s stronger than others to keep it in position for when I go to the gym and work? TIA.

    I couldn’t agree with you more, I’ve tried having a conversation with my diabetic team. And all I get is prevention is better than cure etc, they really don’t want to hear that I’m stopping them

    Type 1 Statin’s

    Is anyone here on them? Anyone had any problems they think that’s related to them?? I’ve been on them for 3 years, and after quite a bit of research I think I can say they’re not worth what comes with them long term, so coming off them, But that’s my opinion and choice of course and wouldn’t...

    Only pro’s I can think of they help prevent cholesterol and thin the blood a tiny amount, but not enough to warrant taking them I don’t think. So come to think of it. Probably none to mention really thinking about it. Ha

    There’s a lot to go into, but if you look up Dr Steven Gundry on YouTube I’m sure he has a lot of answers for the statins, any blood pressure tablets some may be on, But from the top of my head can cause liver damage, kidney damage, muscle damage, high blood sugars, dementia to name but a few.
