Yes I had been on the same Insulin for a long time (NovoRapid) & it was taking so long to kick in and bring my levels down that one lot of insulin was still working by the next meal time so I ended up what “DAFNE” calls Insulin Stacking Lyumjev at the moment works brilliantly for me it brings...

The same for me for a while Now ether my body’s got used to & it doesn’t sting it or I’ve just stopped noticing. Again ether way still very happy with it & still using it

I was put on Lyumjev at Christmas for me it’s a lot better then the NovoRapid I was using. My experience of it is more or less the same as in Response is on Fiasp If my levels are in the 4s or 5s, I have to wait until after I eat But I never have to prebolus & again same as in Response If my...

I only know from what I was told at the time of my valve replacement (Again 6-7year ago) & Procedures have (Changed) & Improved there may be very little difference between the different types anymore In my case the consultant said at the age I was it would be better to have the mechanical one...

I apologise for asking because it must be a basic function you all know how to do But how do you “ tag ”

Thank you All for the help with the phone

My old phone a Samsung s21 died & I need a new one but from past experience a bit nervy about which one to buy Need one that I can rely on to keep connected with Bluetooth as need alarms to wake me if go low in night (night time is my worst time for going low) & some phones that do work with...

So Very sorry for asking As I know it’s been asked before But please if you use Libre 2 with an Android Phone & it works well with the Libre i.e. It keeps a good Bluetooth connection I need to relay on libres alarms in the night & scans easy (You do not have to strip down to bear...

I was writing this when saw what Fenn had written So just to say the same thing get your prescription delivered to you. To have to wait 7 to 10 Days is poor it’s easy to set up Does not cost anything & your Doc can send your prescription to whoever you tell them to there may be a time delay...

Injection sites as far as I can tell are ok NO Lumps or irritations Not confident that I’ve got the levemir right but before changing onto Lyumjev Levels with levemir & novo rapid were pretty good it’s just it took a long time for Levels to Drop after food with novo rapid & was asked to try...

Thank you for your reply I’m type 1 been so for over 40 years Also on long acting insulin this was also changed recently (1 month ago) From 1 x 24hr Tresiba to 2 x 12hr Levemir I Have had to change Ratios but it’s a real hit or miss If it looks like it’s working 1 day the next day with...

Just been put on Lyumjev & Still struggling a bit with new insulin if you’re on Lyumjev insulin Any info would be appreciated Insulin does not seem to work as well if I have a bigger injection Or if I eat food like Bread with a slower absorption rate with a meal Blood levels drop or keeps...

My insulin has been changed from novo rapid to Fast acting lyumjev I know Timings are a bit deferent for each person But could Anyone tell me How long it’s active in the body When on average it peaks once injected Does it react different if you inject bigger doses say if your...

If you’re not techno minded like me you may want to look at the “Diabox” app it works brilliantly with Libre 2 & no need for any extra bits of kit like some versions of xdrip need. You will get your readings straight to your phone every 5 mins with Low & High Alarms the same as xdrip

My Samsung J3 Worked brilliantly with Libre 1 My Samsung A21s ( O S 11) Works well with Libre 2 But I have to place Phone very Close to Sensor to get it to Read Sensor

I to have found the Libre 2 less accurate than the Libre 1 which was brilliant I have some Libre 1 sensors left from when they changed me over to Libre 2 I used these with a reader it uses the older software ( algorithm ) to work out the sugar level & it’s always closer to my blood sugar level...

I have the exact same phone mine is about 6 months old On mine the best place I get readings Is to hold it right over the sensor nearly touching it just under the were the camera lens are on the opposite side to them (Looking at the back of the phone about 3 cm from the top on the right) hope...

It can be annoying when you know why it’s high & it keeps going off I just turn the high alarm off for a bit if it’s a meal were the carbs have spiked the level up & the insulin has not got it down yet You say you use a Garmin watch with your phone & libre 2 may I asks which Garmin ( model )...
