I forgot to split dose for a tortellini pasta lunch today and chased the lows for 2-3 hours this afternoon then spent another hour grabbing the high. I’m now heartily sick of T1, cross that I’ve had to cancel and reschedule two events: I’m liviD.

This hospital leaflet seems pretty informative https://www.rdehospital.nhs.uk/media/x3gmcxci/information-on-upgrading-from-freestyle-libre-to-freestyle-libre-2.pdf

There’s this, but you’ve probably already looked at it and downloaded it. https://www.freestylelibre.co.uk/libre/products/mobile-app-librelinkup.html

Are you using the Abbott app on your phone? https://www.freestylelibre.co.uk/libre/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxPDc_bDG8AIVpBkGAB3IhgmKEAAYASAAEgIlIvD_BwE

47’s a pretty good HbA1c for someone who feels they’re running blind.

That’s good news and bad news. Very cheering that the infection seems to have been trounced; we were all a little worried by what you’d be facing if the antibiotics failed. Commiserations about a summer protecting it while it heals. Are there any nifty dressings that would cause less of a...

I hadn’t thought of this, I’ll give it a go.

I’ll get the piggy bank out. I went into a stormfront Apple shop yesterday but left when the number of maskless rose to 25%.

I absolutely use the watlaa; I really appreciate not having to stop, free a hand and root out a phone to see my bloods. I did invest in an old bumbag so I could have the phone with me at all times when out and about but it was uncomfortable. Libre 1 for me for as long as it’s available, if the...

Mornin’ Karen, mornin’ all. Have a good day. Catching up. Hope your thumb’s still kicking out the trespassing bacteria @urbanracer! Oh yes, @Antje77, checking bloods by glancing at a watch is fabulous. However, the one I use has a screen that’s activated by touch and if my hands are covered in...

Hello @Gafspa, I’m sorry you’re still without any definitive answers about the kind of diabetes you may have! Are you in the U.K.? I ask because we have international members on this site. I know that a lot of people who work in the NHS have been carrying an extra load over the pandemic, and...

Bated breath . . . Does it work?

I only know the watlaa, and I’m still using Libre 1, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. It seems that @Jaylee has found a fix with the watlaa.

Oh good luck!

I bought a powerbank for just under £20 and it means I don’t have to be near a socket or a computer if I need to recharge, and in pre-pandemic days it was also useful if I was travelling. The MM lead plugs straight into the powerbank. (I also use the powerbank to recharge my watlaa watch that...

That’ve very interesting @becca59. I know it’s taken ages for T1s to have some leeway at work (DDA and Equality Act), but to hear that employers know they’ll benefit too is both cheering and depressing. Depressing because we hear of so many people here who find their work places don’t really...

@urbanracer, I don’t like the news of you being able to know from the smell of your thumb that it’s still infected. If it were me I’d be setting up camp in the docs’ offices, blocking the door and not letting them leave until I’d been referred to a bigger hospital, preferably a teaching...

Sorry I didn’t reply before this, I came down with a UTI, again, and was feeling too challenged to be sensible. I must get a watlaa app on my phone too if there’s no escape from the Libre 2, and Diabox is what @Antje77 uses isn’t it? The one with voice messages that are useful if you’re...

That’s cheerful: the bubble’s on it’s way. Hip hip hip hooray. Another tech fest’s imminent @Jaylee

Good morning all, may there be no silly stuff from bloods and may all bank holiday barbecues be just as delicious indoors if it rains.
