I'm on Samsung and starting to have the exact same problems with the alarms not working after initially working perfectly well when I got my Libre 2 six months ago. Strangely, it works through the night but through the day, I'm never alerted anymore.

I got my Libre 2 just over 6 months ago. I've always had a message saying the alarms are unavailable from the very first sensor (and the red exclamation) but both alarms did actually work a good 80-90% of the time. Then they started to get more hit and miss - would tend to alert me when I'd...

Thanks for the replies. I test frequently with a libre, nothing at all out of the ordinary. Not craving anything in particular, no change in lifestyle. No stress. The hunger lasted all day yesterday, but I'm OK today. It's weird. Like a couple of weeks ago, I had my dinner and my stomach just...

Hi, I'm female, 45 and T1 for 15yrs with no other issues. I've always been a naturally slim person, no issues with weight or food. My A1c hovers around 47. Normal bloods at last check up in August, no issues with thyroid. My BG readings can fluctuate but I've been experiencing nothing out of...

Great. Thank you.

Sorry if this has been covered but I couldn't find anything on a search. Are there currently any issues with the manufacture of Novorapid penfill cartridges? A couple of people on the FB page have said their pharmacy says they are unavailable due to Novonordisk halting production. I can't...

There's a T1 on Facebook adamant he received an NHS text to self-isolate. Insists it wasn't the government one. Said that it doesn't say T1 specifically but because we are "immunosuppressed" that we fall into this bracket. All the other T1's are now expecting their text any minute now!

Yes, I keep meaning to get some echinacea. I think I more bothered, though, that I suddenly seem more susceptible to getting them in the first place. It's just colds, they never develop into chest or sinus infections, never get sickness bugs, etc, just colds but they are driving me around the...

Since March last year its just not stopped I would usually get a couple of head colds per year. Three if I was unlucky. But since last March, I've had six colds and I'm certain I feel number seven coming on! I was really hit hard between May - June. I couldn't tell whether I had three back to...

Thanks, will go next week if no signs of improvement. I've been using one of those sea water solutions to clear nasal passages, but they seem a bit redundant when you have an actual cold.

Hmm, not sure. I have been somewhat constipated lately. Like I have a sluggish bowel.

Hi, yes my vit d levels are good according to blood test last year and I do supplement during winter months.

Hi, my levels are pretty well controlled and I have no issues relating to my diabetes. On average I get 1-2 colds per year. Often they can be very heavy and I might have to stay off work. This is the norm for me as I would always getting heavy colds since I was a kid. I'm slightly concerned...

I started taking turmeric tablets last month for general aches and pains and the other alleged health benefits. I had no idea it was meant to have any effect on BG. About 1.5-2 weeks in, I noticed quite a massive reduction in my BG levels and had to reduce my insulin quite significantly. I...

Hi, yes, I tend to be a bit higher due to white coat, but I don't leap right into the high BP range. I'm always within normal range just perhaps a bit higher. It just seems for someone who always had low-normal BP she has taken a massive leap, which appears to have started from last year. I have...

Hello there, hoping for any educated opinions/advice :) I'm Type 1 but am asking this on behalf of my mum; - 62yrs old, quit smoking 2yrs ago. - Relatively active but about 1-2 stone overweight (the gain being around the stomach). - No pre-existing health conditions. - Has always had higher...

True. Might be worth it. I'll check them out.

Thank you all for the advice. I might get it checked again at the chemist in a couple of weeks time.

Hi, went for a check up with my practice nurse today as my annual review has been delayed by 5 months. I was quite surprised when she did my BP and said that it was reasonable but she would have liked it to be a touch lower. MY BP has always been in the low/mid end of the normal range. My...

Thank you for your replies. As I say, the only time I see any medics regarding my diabetes is my annual review and eye screening. If I have any questions then I come here because by the time it would take to faff around to speak to the DN or get an appt, some kind and extremely knowledgeable...
