Hi, I Use wavesense jazz, the one without the app. I was told my surgery moved me to this one as the strips are cheaper. Have you tried the customer care line? Have you tried uninstall/install?

Hi Stephyr7738, I spoke to my nurse about such things, and she pointed out that you can't always guarantee how you will react to different stress/pain etc. So, my next dental appointment I will aim to have my BS within range, have an easily consumable hypo treatment to hand, and be prepared for...

Hi, A couple of weeks ago I had to visit the dentist only for a couple of fillings. My dentist kmows I have T1, and may need to treat hypo if needed. Anyway, sat in waiting room my blood sugar went low, so I treated the hypo and then went in for the fillings. It wasn't long till my xDrip alarm...

I have had to convert to brown pasta, cooled then reheated with split dose 15 minutes before and 15-30 minutes after seems to work for me. Sweet potatoes have replaced every variation of potatoes, and are now a safe bet for me. I split dose with rice, but still need to keep an eye on things. And...

Hi, Update with the ticwatch, gave up trying to install xDrip on the watch, I downloaded 'wearable widgets' and it basically sticks the live widget from my home screen of the phone, on to the watch. That will have to do!

Hi all, So, everything was going fine using libre 1, Miao Miao, xDrip and ticwatch. I then dropped my phone (Samsung j5) and made it unusable (screen blank etc). Replaced phone with a Samsung s8. Set up libre link. Downloaded xDrip onto new phone (took a long time to set that up!) So far, so...

Hi, from the user guide of my NovoPen Echo that is about 1 month old.

Hi, I've been type 1 for 22 years and I had a bad hypo start of October. Immediately went to my gp who referred me to the hospital, by mid November I was using a libre. Similarly to you, a libre was mentioned before lockdown, i was under the care of gp for about 15 years(?). Now I'm back under...

Hi, sorry to hear your problems. I've just had to phone Abbott, my sensor (libre 1) was reading LO all morning, confirmed with finger prick test that blood glucose was well in range 5.6 mmol/L. I kept the sensor in place and I phoned Abbott, who asked a few questions, etc and they were...

Hi RVW, I'm in a similar position as you are. After my regular annual diabetic eye screening I had been bumped up to 3 monthly monitoring due to Maculopathy being detected, then they pushed it back to 6 monthly screening. The people carrying out the screening have never been able to offer any...

Hi, Thanks for the responses! I was taking 12 units of Humulin I at bedtime, I've begun my Tresiba on 10 units, give it a week to settle in and it's been 5 days now. (Took a while to establish that BD microfine needles do in fact fit NovoPen). It appears I'm getting much more stable results...

I looked at the 4"x4" wipes in tubs, but put off by the negative reviews. I checked box with my very next libre and it didn't have any wipes in, so I just ordered a box to get over a problem. Could you get this on repeat prescription?

I just received OptiPro 70%Alcohol pre-injection wipes (100 per box) £4.49 on A prime. They measure 6.5cm x 3cm. I think they are about the same size as the ones Abbott supplied. So avoid these if you need bigger ones!

Hi Searley, thanks for your response. That has put my mind at ease as I sensed a bit of uncertainty on the phone. Thanks

Hi, Could anyone please offer some advice? I am currently on Humulin I as my long acting insulin and soon to be put on Tresiba, I have just had a phone conversation with my nurse at my GPs who has put together the prescription. The tresiba has been requested in 3ml cartridges and a NOVO PEN ECHO...
