Hello I am struggling to find FFP3/KN99 masks that have a way to prevent eyeglasses fogging. I had some masks with a foam on the nose strip which were great to prevent fogging but any other effective way would be fine too. Do you know any please? Thanks!

Hello After COVID, it's been now more than 6 months that dyspnea, fatigue etc are still present with no improvement. I was hoping that dyspnea could exclude ME/CFS but I read that 50% of ME/CFS have severe dyspnea with other concurrent symptoms that I have too. So, I think I will need to get...

Hello It seems the Dexcom needs us to clip on a transmitter to the sensor for it to work while the Libre 2 does not need that. Is that correct? Also, if I do not clip the transmitter on the Dexcom, will it measure and store data and then transmit it to the cloud when I clip the transmitter on...

Thanks, sometimes the phone may run out of battery or I may forget it etc. But if Libre2 can store last 8h data, how can you trigger it to measure glucose during these 8h without a phone/reader?

Thanks but I am not asking for a prescription, just similar experiences and insight from people with COPD/asthma.

Hello I probably have long COVID (no official diagnostic criteria exist to be sure) and during the heatwave my dyspea came back much worse. No doctor prescribes any medication for me and I wonder aren't there any medications to help at least at the acute phase of dyspnea? I read there are...

Hello Is there a continuous or flash glucose sensor that can take measurements without being connected to a phone and store the readings somewhere temporarily or permanently from where I can download them every night e.g. from a website or by connecting my mobile at night only? In other words...

Hello Is hypo still a serious issue for Type 1? Because I see huge focus on preventing hypos when my impression is that the main morbidity/mortality comes from hyperglycemia complications. Thanks!

Ah sorry to hear that, I totally get you. I never had a COVID antigen test positive. When had symptoms, I used to do PCR when they were free, lately I did LFT but none was ever positive. An anti-n antibody LFT was positive a month ago which probably means an infection 1-3 months ago (i.e. 2-4...

Thanks! Sharing some experience if anyone finds it helpful: 1) The GP used a ppt another GP uploaded to refer me to the COVID clinic. The test said to take an oximeter value after some light movements which is definitely not representative. 2) The post COVID clinic said you need to be 3+ months...

Thanks it seems a couple of online pharmacies can do it (haven't tested yet). I was also looking for one of those that put your medicines in pouches but I am worries about the medicines getting bad if they are in contact with the atmosphere. They are supposed to be in a blister for a reason I...

Yes, I was using a finger oximeter, a supposedly good one from Braun but I recently got a wrist smartwatch as it measures SpO2 continuously (I think it also does VO2max). I wore it today and so far it gives a range of 91-100%. There is someone on Youtube who does kind of 'scientific' reviews...

Hello I am having for the last week severe breathlessness, dizziness, tiredness but due to my oxygen not being below 93 all the time, it seems there is no support at all. I never had a positive LFT but my GP suspects long COVID. I am worried about: incorrect diagnosis (due to the negative...

Hello I am looking for a pharmacy (online or physical) that will automatically request my monthly prescription from my GP without sending me reminders to do it myself. So that they then send me the medicines at home or tell me to collect. I did a lot of research on online pharmacies and I...

Hello Do you know how many people (percent) cannot control their type 2 diabetes with any of the available medications? Also, how many people are on insulin for diabetes type 2? Thanks!

Hello Is there a list with the conditions that are 'medical reason for prescription cost exemption'? I wanted to check if pre-diabetes, depression, dyslipidemia, class 2 obesity are considered such as they really require medications for life. Thanks!

Hello Where can I buy the specific glucose meal for glucose tolerance test? Thanks!

Hello I am on diabetic medications and I have not been informed that I do not pay for prescriptions. How can I implement that? The pharmacy said I need a certificate but my GP said nothing about it. Also, are there any other entitlements/benefits that diabetics can have? Thanks!

Hello Is there a graph that shows the postprandial glucose curve for the same patient after 10, 30, 50, 80, 100, 150 etc grams of glucose meal? From what suspect, if you eat 30g of carbs you will spike from 5mM to 7mM and if you eat 60g of carbs, you will not spike at 9mM despite you ate...

Hello I have a syringe that has up to 100IU indications. How do these translate into millilitres? Thanks!
