I've been feeling rather smug with my Libre and control this week.... This proves it is justified! Fingers crossed for a similar result at the D clinic in two weeks!!

I was diagnosed on the Monday afternoon, returned to work the following Monday. Would have gone back earlier but I also ended up with tonsillitis at the same time. Typical! I have taken 1 half day from diabetes since then, 15 months after diagnosis. We were on an away day and BG was high and...

They were, it was just the initial trials that were for T2

Makes sense, I know their initial trials were all on T2

Before it went on sale I was aware of this, but then I did a lot of reading in the months prior to release!

First one I did myself, 2nd my fiancé did as I wanted it further round my arm and couldn't see . I was more nervous of him doing it than I was doing it myself!

That's really annoying! It's not like it's life saving equipment or anything....

I use Medtronic so haven't paid much attention, someone has mentioned regular "pump not primed" alarm so there is some debate over possible faulty batch of cartridges or sets. He's phoned them I believe

I used the same arm, but about 2 inches below the original one. Next week when I change again I'll be swapping arms. I wouldn't reinsert in the same spot twice in a row though

Are you animas? Someone else is reporting issues right now

The first week can be pretty tough. Did the hospital call a couple times again today?

9 is not bad! Do they have you up testing every 3 hours overnight this week?

Woah that's crazy! My arrows have always made sense!

I actually take great offence to that. I am anything but lazy with my control. I maintain an hba1c in the 6s through consistent exercise, carb counting and monitoring the effects of food. I basal test regularly to ensure my settings are correct. I work hard, I just keep my targets realistic...

How has today been?

Agreed. I target 4.5 - 8 with my pump set to aim for 6 with its corrections. I find that the Libre is great for overnights and general pattern. It's accurate to within 1mmol 90% of the time which is fine by me :)

Breakfast was 55g, bolused 45 mins ahead (with novorapid) and spike was only up to 8.6 before heading back down again (started at 5.3 I think) It's incredible what a bit of insight can do to my pre bolusing and hence give these results!

When I first started with the Libre I was NEVER seeing anything like this. 3 hours after breakfast and there's barely even a blip in the line. That's what I like to see!

Yeah the Mio tubing gets a lot of those. The actually bubbles are less noticeable than those marks lol

Haha! You get skintac wipes on Amazon, just for future reference!
