hey i know the freestyle libre comes with an app now on certain phones, but does anyone know if this can link up to any watches? (apple watch or sony watch?). i know the blucon nighrider gives you the alerts for highs or lows, but i’m not overly keen on the big strap around the arm that is...

Does the app link up to the apple watch? Can I use an apple watch instead of the app?

I have emailed them asking, I just thought if there is an app for the iPhone 7 then maybe I could link the app to the apple watch

I havent got one yet but apparently it does

Hey, Does the freestyle Libre connect to an Apple Watch?

Hiya, I have had various issues so far with my diabetes. Benn diagnosed with Type 1 for nearly 7 years now and I'm still struggling. I meet most of the criteria for a FreeStyle Libre or Dexcom on the NHS so I am going to try my best to get one. I have written a long letter explaining my...

Does vape juice affect sugars

A quick brief, my sugars have been all over the shop lately, I have no idea why. Yesterday they were high constantly and I ended up not eating dinner because they just kept rising and rising. I ended up taking myself to the hospital because I felt so sick and was worried. But the last time I...

Yesterday evening I had quite a bad day with my blood sugars running high for no reason. I ended up going to bed at 10.9. So I woke up at 4am and tested my bloods again and they were 10.4 which I thought was ok so went back to sleeping. I then woke up at 7am with blood sugars of 2.7? I’m really...

I take 17 units in the evening, to me that’s quite a lot already but I can try increasing it

Hi guys For the last few days i have been doing everything correctly insulin wise, and my sugars seem to be running high all the time. Like today I haven’t eaten since about 1pm and my sugars will raise to about 15, then I inject insulin and they go down, then after a while they will rise again...

Thank you! I’m assuming I can just ask my doctor how I would go about doing this?

Hey guys Every time my sugars go low or really high, even if my sugars are on like 4.5 I start to feel a lot of anxiety and sometimes have mini panic attacks! Can anyone give me any advice on this as it’s starting to control me and what I do. Also has anyone tried seeing a doctor or therapist...

Thank you everyone!

Hiya If I was to purchase the Dexcom G5 myself, what is it I will be paying for? Also once I have purchased everything to start with, how often will I need to buy the sensors and how much? I basically want to know roughly how much I’ll be paying each month to have a Dexcom?

Hi guys, I don’t drink all the time but I am at an age where a lot of my friends like to go out and have a few drinks. I like to do the same but I still haven’t figured out what drinks are best for me? I used to drink wine and that would send me through the roof with high sugars, and then I...

Thank you this did help a lot! I’m assuming the nhs will not fund this for me. I have a great deal of anxiety and panic attacks when my sugars hit low

Just a bit of advice guys. I have really bad anxiety when it comes to going low, and I have had minor panic attacks when I’ve been low especially in public. Which also means I test my sugars on my meter literally all day... to the point my GP has said I’m using too many strips and if I continue...

Hey guys, Considering looking into the Dexcom G5 or the free style Libre. Can anyone give me an idea of UK prices please, what it would cost to start with and how much would need to be spent from then on (I.e sensors each month)

Thank you I will bring up all my issues to the hospital when I see them!
