Sorry @ausGeoff it’s the NHS. Mass produced, cheap and little flexibility.

Also for no [emoji638] make sure your pricker isn’t set too high and that your fingers are warm. If you can put in warm water first the blood flows easily.

For my part I only use the forum because of the app. I find accessing via the browser clunky and am faced with so much info to sort through. Have a definite aversion to it.

I swim regularly and found the best way was before I’d eaten. So in pool before seven. Swim seventy plus lengths. This tends to put my levels up as it isn’t leisurely. Because of this I tend to take a small dose of bolus insulin before I get in. Always have jelly babies at side of pool. Wear an...

I get fifty a month, but don’t order every month as haven’t used them.

I Phone twelve Mini. All updated, no issues.

Hopefully it’s a big box of lancets @Outlier and you won’t need any more for ages. I’m a type [emoji637] and haven’t ordered any in the last eleven years. Still working my way through the mistake the surgery made at my diagnosis by issuing three lots in quick succession. Still have oodles.

@llandrillo switch the loss of signal alarm off on your sensor. Haven’t had mine on for years. I don’t need to be told it’s lost connection. I can see when I pick up to check.

One from my cafetière about eleven a.m black, unadulterated.

It’s not good for your teeth apparently.

Definitely option 2. Have worked hard the past year to avoid lows and highs and maintain a steadier line. My HbA1c has risen to 52 as a result, but my TIR is 87-90% between 3.9 and 10. Am now working on getting it between 3.9 and 8.5. Which is about 73% at the moment.

I’m a Type one. I freeze bread and it definitely then requires less injected insulin. Similar to pre cooked, cooled and reheated pasta. However, it does still require insulin.

Ditto! Not been able to get it for years.

Door handles, Young grandson, serious swimming. Mine are invariably stuck like glue, but I have lost a couple and they do not stand up to seventy lengths of front crawl three times a week.

Love a bum bag @juicy. Does the job perfectly.

Have no idea why it copied in the previous emoji ridden post. I use four to seven a day.

Wouldn’t get many of mine in there. [emoji640]-[emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji639]] a day. You can get mini yellow sharps bins. I removed the teeth so when you put the lid down it doesn’t seal. Have been using the same one eleven years.

Eleven years in not had a hypo where I have needed help at all. It is rare these days with CGM alarms.

Hi @lizcoop like you I was older on diagnosis 54. Your HbA1c results are what has happened over the last three months, which takes in your high levels pre diagnosis. The Libre is only accounting for what has gone on in the last month since you started insulin and have better levels. Your next...

The thought of having to change on a different day when I eventually get moved to the plus irritates me immensely. I avoid swim days as I always put on the day before and don’t want to be wearing two sensors. Plus I order four weekly not monthly. But I don’t set reminders, the Libre reminds me...
