Have you verified that this is exclusive to the LibreLink app or is it to the sensor itself? I haven't used xDrip or any of the others myself but have been curious about running different apps on different devices for the purpose of building something better for myself(and then of course share...

Everything should be back to normal after a few hours in my experience.

I've had a few Lantus flexpens malfunction before over the years, which I believe are similar if not identical to the Levimir and Novorapid flexpens internally. It's annoying but just one of those things that will happen sometimes, just hope it's not your last one.

Sounds like he's not aware of openAPS, most likely because it's not FDA approved.

I used to always bolus as I was about to eat, i.e at the table or right before sitting down to eat. Since getting a Libre and being able to actually look at patterns, I bolus amount and timing depending on what I'm eating and what my current sugar levels are.

While the intent is noble and everything, the approach is wrong. What needs to happen is for people to have a better understanding of nutrition in general, regardless of your condition, and it needs to be learned from a young age. If people then still want to eat and drink unhealthy things...

I almost literally lost a day last year while having a totally screwed up basal regime, drunkenly overbolusing to correct dawn phenom and in a hypo state turned off my alarm and throwing the phone on the floor. I regained consciousness at 9pm that day. Not fun. :/

Fair enough, just for future reference, it's perfectly fine to do it at the table. :) Very low and very high blood sugar can cause severe lethargy and falling asleep, it's hard to say how much to correct or how much sugar to give him without knowing his regular dosage and such as I'm sure you...

Why did he not just wait for the food to arrive before injecting? It's not a problem to do it at the table once the food arrives, if he's embarrassed or afraid what people think of it or something, it's just something he should get used to.

I don't know what you're on about, I don't follow any particular diet or guidelines, I've set my own habits based on what works for me or what I happen to like or want regardless of what anyone else says, just like everyone else should. Some will likely find that what Bernstein or whichever...

I'm not denying that at all, or that he knows what he's doing, if anything I'm in agreement there. I'm questioning the seemingly blind faith in him that seems to be the case on these forums, that his advice is the silver bullet.

Bottle and a half, or so.

Well that proves everything doesn't it, he's alive, unlike all the other diabetics who are also alive without his methods.

Wine is the best medication for stable blood sugar.

Like @kev-w I had never heard of him either before joining this forum, and based on what people on here seem to think of him, I can't help but think of how people would blindly think anything from Apple is awesome, how anything with [insert actor] in it is awesome, anything from [insert...

Agreed, live the way you want but with the knowledge and understanding of what and why it happens. Most people would never guess I'm diabetic based on how I eat as I eat basically anything I happen to like or want. I'll be enjoying a tub of ice cream later while watching the draft, which I would...

I might be wrong but based on what he says about getting sued, this sounds US specific as I've never heard of anyone suing a doctor regarding diabetes care here. I've certainly never been told to maintain a higher blood sugar or to avoid low blood sugar at all costs in either country I've lived...

I was in the hospital for a week to stabilise and get used to my new life and everything, but that was back in the early 00s and I was just a teen, so that may have changed for all I know and may well be different for adults who have jobs.

I've seen some people saying they take it off while in the shower, presumably the water makes it easier to peel off the adhesive or something, no idea if that would help.

Strips are nowhere near as reliable as they're made out to be, perhaps on average more accurate than a CGM/FGM but it is absurd how strips are preferred to scans for things like driving when neither is anywhere close to 100% accurate or fail safe.
