This was the advice from his dsn!!!!!!! They were advised to give him just 4 units to correct the 30 reading despite him.being so resistant, needless to say within 2 hrs in rose to 33!!!! He just wants/needs to choose his own doses but dont know how to get them to let hin, he usually adjusts his...

We are in uk, im in Surrey and my father Cumbria. They have halved his eve humalin I at night and kept his am the same!

To cut a very long story short my father who is type 2 on insulin is in hospital with late stage 'Copd' having had a chest infection, on steroids and because 10 days ago after being addmitted he had a couple of hypos he was unaware off his humalog 40 units at mealtimes was stopped and he was...

Good news about your BP hopefully just baby lying on your bladder at night or something simple then, keep us posted!

I would call your dr in the morning and let them know. I had preeclampsia when I had my daughter and that had an effect on the kidneys, nothing a bit of hospital care couldn't deal with!!

I have found it a very slow road with the weight loss on low carb, the same as you have found controlling my sugars sooo much easier but the whole of last yr I only lost 7lbs, since xmas I have also started fasting 2 days a week and have already lost about 9lbs! A close friend of mine ( also...

Sometimes my libre doesn't give me accurate readings but the ones I've had have always read lower when I was low and higher when I was high!! Don't think I have in the last 1.5 yrs had one that said I wasnt below 4 when my meter said I was!! I do understand though that it is better to be safe...

No sorry Tipetoo I meant the scales instructions!!

Thank you!! Didnt really think about it until I did that old fashioned thing ( read the instructions ) and it said ' do not use if you use a wearable or implanted devise like a defibullator or pacemaker' just made me wonder.

Good point re airports etc, will give them a go in the morning, only have 2 days left on this sensor anyway!! They are supposed to let you know body fat% etc so thought i would give them a try. Thank you.

Is it ok to use smart scales if you are wearing a libre sensor?!?

Thats why we had ' cavemen! ' we used to need men to do things like that for us!!°

Within a week of being told by government that our children should have no more than 13 ( i think ) cubes of sugar a day and its the parents job to maintain this my daughters school emailed to invite children who don't normally have school dinners to have a special Censors day meal ( a day when...

I noticed years ago that novorapid stops working after 2hrs for me, simply put, if I correct and test after 2 hrs then my sugars won't drop any lower than they have. I knew this because if i checked again half hr/ hr or 2 after then it wouldnt drop any lower. This is now confirmed by using...

I didn't think that Gps and the nurses at their practice could prescribe the libre, I thought it had to come from a consultant!!?? Maybe request your Gp refers you to a specialist to help you deal with the 'high levels' of hypos you are having ( they will only need to look at your excellent...

If she is eating kelloggs coco pops it might be worth trying some own brands, kelloggs have recently 'lowered sugar' in coco pops and replaced it with ' glucose' which will raise sugars even faster than sugar ( although prob not a huge amount ) but may be worth a try along with as others have...

Did you remember to scan it within an hour of starting the sensor?!?

They ( we all ) really need the people prepared to put the effort in to be the first to get it prescribed, it has to be shown to the NHS what a difference it can make in our control, if they hand it out mostly to people who won't use it properly then their control won't get any better and they...

I believe the RMOC says you only have to meet 1 criteria!?!?

The obvious thing to do now is make sure you get a good supply of strips from your gp and test your blood 8+ times a day until your next consultant appointment, madness as will cost the NHS more but their fault if they want to be so stupid!! What they are looking for is the cost of libre will be...
