Have no words but will be thinking of you all, sending hugs

Make sure you speak to a dietician, I've found that since I was diagnosed that I need to increase my carb to insulin ratio. I've been told that I'm now absorbing my food better. There are more foods available, however a lot of these have a higher GI so it's a juggling act. I know that you and...

Type 1 and coeliac

My daughters baby (she's not diabetic I am ) was tiny born at 39 weeks and off the bottom of the scale, her birth weight went down to 4lb 10oz, she's one tomorrow and although still short! for her age she's perfect. Just enjoy your son, all children are different and deserve all the love and...

Would give it a go provided I could back track if things didn't work out

Vanster07 Can I join in and offer my services too!

In my thoughts just prove them wrong

I couldn't remember the exact price so guessed sorry if it has misled anyone

Have to self fund unfortunately, they are just under £60 per sensor, which as you say last a fortnight. However it's been great for spotting trends and allowed me to see a few patterns that I hadn't noticed by finger pricking. I still finger prick a lot I've got a pump, and the meter will work...

Just been to clinic and my Libre was spot on with its prediction of my HBA1c. I've found that so long as I keep well hydrated it reads very similar to my accu chek meter, it tends to deviate at higher or lower readings. OK I've still got more work to do to bring it down to the level I'd really...

My basal is 13 and the bolus ranges from about 12 to 20.

I would happily pay for prescriptions that are not related to diabetes.

Hugs to you all x

I love my freestyle libre, ok it doesn't give any alarms but it is teaching me so much about my BS and effects of insulin and food

Brilliant

I registered at end of December got my email 3 weeks ago signed up 2 weeks ago got the system last sat. So far so good, although not exactly same readings as my meter the trends are the same, made a couple of chanes to basal already. Hope you don't have much longer to wait

As far as I can tell, there are some faulty sensors about but in my opinion some people were expecting the system to correlate with their meters. I'm testing as much as I normally would and using both sets of data for trends and information. I knew that my overnight basal wasn't correct but...

I had my email a couple of weeks ago, went ahead and ordered last Tuesday. Have had a sensor on since Saturday, it's been a revelation, although readings aren't the same as my meter the trends are the same. Just made a few alterations to my pump basal settings. I don't intend to use all the time...

I took annual leave as not sure I would be able to go otherwise. Really enjoyed the course and learnt lots.

You didn't say how old your son is. He's having to deal with a lot at the moment, I remember being diagnosed as an adult as type 1 with 2 young children and honestly just wanted to ignore diabetes in the hope it would go away, stupid I know. All you can do is support and encourage him, maybe see...
