    Trial

    Apologies to start with, all numbers are written in words due to the problems with the forum and my intense dislike of the actual site for posting. I am on another Libre trial. I have four trial sensors on plus my own. Yikes! Two started by phone and monitored blind are the three pluses. The...

    Insulin pens problem

    As others have said the pens come with a warranty. There was a slip in mine when I got it which I filled in.

    Limiting carb intake v "5 a day"

    Not eating a variety of vegetables with a meal is impossible for me. The varieties, textures and colours are what makes a meal for me.

    Socialising & Going Out

    I go out and enjoy myself. It isn’t every week so I don’t get hung up on it like I did some years ago. I look at menu’s on line before I go and make my choice. I will then have a rough idea of carbs and insulin required. I then inject a small part of the insulin when we have given our order...

    For information on insulin types and duration of effect.

    Sorry I don’t. I see what you mean though I tried to enlarge it on here and it just blurs. I picked it up from Twitter. Will trawling through and see if I can find it.

    Humulin I for Basal?

    Luckily I started both from day one. Good support from DN for a couple of weeks then off I went. Learnt to carb count from apps and books and was soon altering my own doses as I have done ever since.

    Humulin I for Basal?

    Like Jaylee I would like to know who you are seeing at the moment. Is this a hospital based DN or GP based? Yes Humulin is more of a basal insulin. So a better option than your previous mixed dose. It still doesn’t address any issues you will be getting from food rises which must be difficult...

    Libre Freestyle Librelink using with Apple iOS - a warning if you have sensor failures

    I have to say I have had actually zero issues and am on the latest update. I googled it when I read your post and all people replying had had no issues either. Which phone are you using?

    Faulty pen?

    Could be that the pen says [emoji639]ml on but is a mistake. All sounds very strange. What I will say is an air shot should be done each new needle to ensure the needles are working. I have on occasion had ones that are not. It isn’t wasteful it’s essential.

    Libre Freestyle Librelink using with Apple iOS - a warning if you have sensor failures

    To be fair that is quite an old phone. They were discontinued February five years ago and the most up to date one is now a sixteen. The way technology moves today it is hard to keep up with.

    Parent of Teen - Advice needed

    @Lennycollins Welcome. Although admirable that you are so invested in your child’s well being, perhaps it is time now she is 16 to practise retreating a little. In two years she will be classed as an adult and really it will no longer be appropriate for you to be constantly aware of her levels...

    Experimenting with a CGM

    As a type one, that sort of differential in reading I would consider totally negligible and not worth a second thought. If you have access to more than one blood glucose meter and did a test at the same time i bet they would show that sort of differential.

    Freestyle libre 2 after 30 weeks

    @MuttNJeff sorry you have had such problems with the app connected to your Libre. Have worn this device now starting with the basic one, over seven years ago self funding to start with. For me it is a crock of gold and brilliantly accurate. And definitely not a waste of the NHSs money. I just...
