No one could really say to be honest.... And thats because everyone's body is different.....one diabetic could run at 8.0% HbA1c for 25 years and nothing, where as another could run between 6 and 7% for three years and get retinopathy..... They do say that background retinopathy is normal for...

I left my bag with all my stuff in it [pump consumables, insulin vials, insulin pens, test strips, BP meds] on the transfer bus.....took 3 days to get back..... I went to a local clinic with my passport and European health Insurance card and they wrote me a prescription..... The English wasn't...

I use the free version on mobile...... Cant recall seeing any adverts....if there is I haven't noticed anyway... All I am using is the food diary though.....just a a means to get the carbs for meals, as opposed to a weight loss tool...

Thanks folks.......I on the same page now..... ;)

Is that not just adding in a blood test reading.....does the app use that alongside the sensor reading...... I confess I haven't played about with it.....I will tonight though...

So how do you calibrate with Glimp....? Define calibrate..

@helensaramay does the glimp app work without a third party device.....or are you using it purely as a recording tool....and if so, how do you calibrate...?

If you have a reader and want to use it alongside a phone, the reader needs to scan the new sensor first......then the phone can scan......the two devices don't work together though.... the good thing about the phone is that it can upload the readings and data automatically to Libre View, which...

Yeah, more insulin may be required, however it can be done with more accuracy these days..... Due to the dawn phenomenon, which is the liver releasing glucose and other hormones being released like cortisol, resistance to insulin is increased in the morning....... So what you need to do, or...

you don't need a reader, an NFC ready phone will do the trick...;)

Reducing the post meal spike is tackled with pre bolusing.......15 minutes or so standard before novorapid works.....so you need to increase this time, experiment and see what works.....I've seen a pre bolus of 45 minutes in the past.....although 30 minuted is my maximum now.... The rise you...

I think the series of letters you have posted is just the medical way or reporting you have r1 - reitnopathy and m1 - maculopathy.....so don't worry about that.... as far the maculopathy, its more serious than retinopathy, but only due to its location, the central vision part of the eye.....but...

It sounds like you might just need more localised targeting of areas.......so some muscle exercise in the stomach area....

I actually found that I lost a stone effortlessly once I went on the pump.......and that was basically down to the much more accurate basal delivery and general efficiency of the pump... I have since put on weight but thats just down to diet and little exercise..... If you can try and fine...

The tiny bleeds is the background retinopathy, yes......and they can get better........the tiny spots are most likely to be swelling of the vessels as opposed to a rupture and blood leaking out.... ultimately if you keep levels stable and blood pressure good, you can go through life with no...

I see, yeah...... Again, because I am not on a low carb diet, protein doesn't matter for me....more so when served with chips etc.....

I can see the argument that it is just another delivery device..... as long all diabetics get the same basic skills set to adjust their own doses then both methods can be used just as good......even if one becomes unalienable it wont matter... same goes for CGM or Libre.......get the basics...

It sounds really good..... For me personally though the fat content of that wouldn't really effect me enough for a split strategy....... Why are you adding on 25%? For me if I had to I would probably do an 80 up front and 20 later....on the pump so, would deliver the 20 over 2 hours..... its...

I am referring to the reader update, not the mobile app..... I ask as mine seems to be already updated, if the latest is in fact 2.4.8......I did receive it in April so it may have already came with the latest software already...

just to be clear the new update version in 2.4.8, is that correct?
