That’s a really interesting side effect from Mounjaro. I wonder whether in the future it might be used as a treatment for eating disorders. Just another thought. Is it the hospital nurse you are waiting to see? Could you try a complaint to PALs especially as your specialists have said you need...

@Rosie9876 just a reminder that @Buddug76 is an insulin user. @Buddug76 Looking at the graphs they would be ideal if just a little higher…lovely flattish lines! It does look as if the insulin just needs slight adjustment. When you do see the DN I’d be inclined to suggest you reduce the insulin...

It must be so frustrating to have to wait so long to see the diabetic nurse. I was referred to a hospital diabetic nurse and had to wait 4 months. Even that seemed like a lifetime. Only to be told they wouldn’t prescribe Mounjaro because I have background retinopathy and it isn’t appropriate...

I’m assuming if you’ve been using libre for a while these lows are not due to you lying on the sensor (usually called compression lows)? I think however hard it is you do need to talk to your diabetic nurse about whether your insulin dose needs adjusting to avoid these lows. Does your medical...

Hi, and welcome to the forum. Firstly, yes you have created your first post absolutely correctly. It’s very poor that you haven’t been able to talk to a diabetic nurse for that long. 41 is a very good result, and a massive improvement over your last result. What have you changed to achieve...

I keep Bluetooth off in the librelink app. Scan librelink to start the sensor, then add the sensor to Zukka (with Bluetooth enabled for Zukka). Zukka should work ok. Then I manually scan the sensor in librelink 4 times a day which brings the data in there and allows my dsn to see it. Does that...

I think you’ll only ever reliably be able to use Shuggah or Zukka as used together they will be fighting for the Bluetooth connection. Glad it’s sorted for now. I’d be lost without the readings on my watch.

I was wondering if you turn the blue tooth off in librelink can you then scan it manually? If you can it shows that the NFC scan works, so then that’s not the problem with scanning in Shuggah. If you can’t then I’m not an expert but I think there may be an issue either with the sensor, or your...

I agree. I love having my blood sugar on my watch, and also on apple car play when I’m driving.

If it won’t scan in Shuggah or librelink then it sounds like the sensor might be faulty.

Is that Zukka? I’m finding with the libre 2+ that I need to scan a few times to get it to connect but it does then connect. I assume it works when you scan in librelink? You could try asking on the Facebook group I linked above.

You can’t have Bluetooth enabled for both and have reliable connections according to the team that developed the software.. So you can’t get continuous readings in Shuggah/zukka/xdrip4ios. But you can still scan manually at intervals to keep the data on libreview.

I don’t take fast acting insulin, but as long as you are delaying both food and insulin I can’t see a problem. Hopefully a type 1 can advise.

What type of insulin are you injecting?

Shuggah is a ripped off version of Xdrip4ios. They copied it then started charging for it. Zukka is an identical copy, but agreed with the Xdrip4ios developers and free. But I think it may have disappeared from the App Store recently. This is the Facebook group for Xdrip4ios. They can’t help...

Hi, good to see you back. It’s great that you had the appointment and have a plan, although I can understand how hard the wait is. Stick around here and we will do our best to help. We all fall off the wagon sometimes, the key is that you’ve recognised it and come back here. So now small steps...

So sorry to hear this. Go easy on yourself at this very sad time. If you want to talk to others in the same position this is a forum for members over 50 who have lost their partners. You can join and just read, or post. I found it really helped me when my husband died. https://way-up.co.uk/

I don’t eat any sweets as they are very bad for my blood sugar. What is your blood sugar test result tonight after eating macaroni cheese, a mars bar and love hearts?

Hi Julie, I thought you might find this link about low carb diets and diabetes interesting. Not all diabetics like to follow a low carb diet but as you have been posting in the low carb forum I thought you might like to see more information about it. It can be very helpful in controlling...

That’s even longer than me. Do you control it with what you eat?
