    three auto conditions

    Yeah its just strange that coeliacs get very little of the skin symptoms and DH sufferers get few (?) of the gut symptoms

    three auto conditions

    Its the same treatment but very different diagnosis it seems?

    Snap, T1 Hypothyroid and coeliac. just get on and do it really. I need routine to remember my tablets but gluten free is a way of life now.

    Dexcom G4 to G6 upgrade

    @tim2000s will be better to help but I would imagine with an IP port you could make APS work for you, everything is editable as its open source unlike commercial systems.

    NHS Libre Rollout in doubt as a test strip manufacturer raises objections

    I understand your point regarding the revenue, I just don't understand patient choice? Surely the choice is to use it or not?

    Dexcom G4 to G6 upgrade

    The g6 is labelled as not requiring finger tests, its much more accurate than previous versions supposedly. Also it varies a lot person to person -- my CGM (G5) is within 0.5 mmol normally so yes I trust it to bolus from. Example is 5.4 CGM 5.1 finger stick.

    Dexcom G4 to G6 upgrade

    You could investigate using a separate app such as xdrip or mysugr (not sure if that one calculates) or you can continue finger pricking?

    Struggling with BG testing along with depression

    You could give one a go for two weeks? that way youll know one way or another if it helps or not. You can get them at pharmacies, Asda is the cheapest at the mo I think?

    Type 1 What do I do now?

    Well it sounds like you need to be taken seriously which your gp isn't doing. What kind of stuff are you eating and what are your bgs? how long are you diabetic?

    Struggling with BG testing along with depression

    Did they suggest a libre to you at all? I get anxiety and have found a CGM is the best method for me by far.

    Type 1 What do I do now?

    And what was their advice around DKA (they are wrong but still.) Can you move doctors or do you have a walk in centre you can get to? do you have a hospital team for your Diabetes?

    Wish the nhs would stop creating new diagnoses!

    Yes I've just had the same, definitely used as a push to improve control which I find laughable as I'm using a closed loop system and its the best control I've ever had. Seems to mean nothing to any medical professional

    Type 1 Dafne though I always think it's *****

    I found it a waste of time honestly - possibly why I wasn't invited back? I attended ONLY because I wanted a pump, I made it known and was unpopular from the start (I was the only coeliac too so couldn't fully participate) Only good thing was I did get a pump eventually.
