    New blood glucose machine?

    Hi everyone, I’ve been having a lot of trouble with my libre 2 sensors recently. My last one has failed after a few days, the one before that lasted the full 14 but the 3 before that also failed suddenly. This means I’ve been relying heavily on my blood glucose machine but I’d really like a...

    Type 1 Loss of Sensation

    Hi all, Hope everyone is well :) I've been experiencing slight, but not complete loss of sensation in my finger tips over the past week or so and I know this could be a serious diabetes related issue. I was wondering what I should do about it or whether to contact anyone? Like I mentioned...

    Post Breakfast Spike!

    Hi Everyone! I’ve been really struggling the past couple of days with big spikes post breakfast. Went up to 14+ today from 2 crumpets and 4 units of insulin. I’m generally on a ratio of 1:16 so this is pretty much double my usual amount. My libre had me at 4.4 when waking up which has been...

    Anyone having major Libre 2 problems?

    Hi all, is anyone else having issue after issue with libre 2 the past few weeks? I’m on my third sensor in two weeks and I think it’s failing now too! It’s reading high above 12 when I’m under 10 on finger prick. the previous two had similar issues too. One sent me an error message through the...

    Feeling out of control

    Thank you everyone. It’s just been so exhausting and I’m on my third low of the day today. I think adjusting my ratio is the way to go

    Feeling out of control

    I spoke to my nurse this morning who didn’t help at all and only told me to contact my dietician. But I can’t get an appointment till May! This is what my days are looking like atm which mare significantly worse since I started carb counting.

    Feeling out of control

    yeah I’ve had my basal changed a few times and my dietician recently said it looks good. As soon as I start eating for the day I start to lose any kind of balance really

    Feeling out of control

    I wasn’t sure how to get an appointment but I was planning to call them tomorrow. I’ve been carb counting for a while now but this issue is quite recent, can they change just like that?

    Feeling out of control

    Hi all, Been struggling with my type 1 a lot over the past week. I’m newly diagnosed and probably still honeymooning. I can’t seem to eat a meal of any size without shooting up high (above 10) within the hour and then I shoot back down just as quickly until I end up in the 3’s. It’s exhausting...

    Newly diagnosed, up and down like a yo-yo

    This is from today which has been a very good day and one from a few days ago. I’m making notes on the app when my finger prick doesn’t match a scan and keeping track of it but I’m realising my patterns are very normal. Thanks all for the reassurance

    Newly diagnosed, up and down like a yo-yo

    Thanks everyone, my libre experience has been shocking to say the least. I’m always comparing to finger pricks so managing both is quite draining. Just as I feel it’s starting to read well it starts falling out! Would the fluctuations be helped possibly by a pump in the future?

    Newly diagnosed, up and down like a yo-yo

    Hi all, I was recently diagnosed type 1 in December and fortunate enough to have started the libre 2 process. I’m on MDI with lantus and novorapid, injecting for every main meal. However the libre has highlighted that my BG’s are up and down like crazy! I’ve worked hard to prevent lows and keep...
