Most Samsung phones pre S7 none post. Generally no new android phone that's top end as far as I can work out. The newer phones like the S7 seem to have more powerful NFC chips which burn out the sensors in some way. So initially I believe you could use the S7 and the Google Pixel but they got...

I think this is why long term I will move off mixed insulin but at the moment I am following the CCG process - skipped very quickly to this stage and have had a lot of support so want to give this a good go before saying it isn't working. Will try to eat breakfast a bit later and lunch a little...

Thanks I am working with her to get things right. I am thinking I may split my Lunch and have some around 11am and then some around 2.30 instead of having it all at 1pm. I think breakfast at 6am with lunch at 1pm is just probably too long.

Thanks. I appear to go low as the quick acting finishes and the long acting starts - I am assuming they are working together at a peak at that point. The rest of the time I am around 7. Ideally I would prefer to be a bit lower and was thinking if I had a snack at this low point then I could up...

It's half life appears to be 12.4 hours so it should be gone within a day or so if that's accurate. Not sure how quickly that will ease your UTI though. Hopefully doctor has put you on some antibiotics too.

Hi I am a type 2 on mixed insulin and low carbing. I appear to have my night time dose sorted but during the day it's a bit mixed. Suggestions seem to be that I might need a snack to stop going too low - what sort of snack do people recommend? It needs to be simple, portable and potentially...

They now have me leaning back sitting on a bed against a gym ball which gently stretches the rib cage. I have a back condition which means my vertebrae are slowly fusing together. This puts pressure on the ligaments and muscles as they can no longer flex normally as my spine is fixed. This in...

It's worth getting checked out by your GP. If it is costochronditis then I have found a very short course of diazepam works to relax the muscles. I can tell when mine is flaring as small hard lumps appear along my rib cage under my breasts. They can be massaged away but even that is...

I spend a lot of my working life trying to understand why people don't look after themselves once they have a diagnosis of whatever condition or illness they have. It's not just diabetes, it's any long term condition. If you know you need a daily medication why don't you put the prescription...

Only if that time is 3 months or less. You become eligible again on your full time return to the UK

There are strict rules regarding NHS services which though rarely fully applied are enshrined in legislation. Regardless of where they originated they are the rules we can apply and if you are living abroad for more than 3 months you lose your entitlement to free NHS care. Anyone is entitled...

NHS rules. I've applied them for someone in one of those warm countries relatively recently. As another poster says GPs use their common sense - you won't be delisted generally for a 6 month cruise but if it was known you were living abroad then you would be. It's not necessarily the primary...

They must be resident for a minimum of 3 months to qualify as ordinarily resident or be able to prove that you intend to be.

Got strips and new meter in case they didn't work in libre. 8.2 on libre, 8.9 on new strips so close as 15 mins apart. Caresens 9.9. so now I know - libre was right

Washed hands, tried all my fingers. Libre steady between 7.2 and 7.5. caresens now showing 10.5. so caresens feels high but libre feels too steady! Going to have breakfast and see what happens and then go and get new strips. Hoping I can get the ones to fit libre as if it is the sensor then...

In Florida. :). But strips in air conditioned house so don't think they will have been exposed to over 30C. Think I will have to go to Walmart and pick up some new strips. Strangely yesterday both libre and meter were in agreement when I was heading low. Now caresens meter showing over 11 and...

Sorry no is it something a large boots or Lloyd's might stock even at an inflated price?

Hi. Does anyone have problems with this meter going high? I am on holiday and didn't bring my control solution with me but it seems all over the place compared to my libre.

It is also possible a mistake has been made and the letter has been scanned to your record by admin and your GP has not been made aware. I would make the appointment and when.booking it ask the receptionist to note it's to discuss your neuropathy referral. If you then get nowhere you have 2...

This is with the sensor that started falling off with normal rock tape so I am hopeful it will see out the next 7 days.
