    Libre 2 support

    Well I have had enough now and removed it. I have had about 10 lib 2 and not had a good one. I got far less poor ones with the 1. They are now sending me a reader and another replacement. If that's no good I will ask to go back to a 1. A few years ago I had a dex privately also use an x drip...

    Libre 2 support

    So the 2 is not accurate for the first 2 day's and mine is not very good now 3 day's to finish. The lib1 was better. I have read a lot are saying this. Might be better to go with 1 and maiomaio

    Libre 2 support

    What I find strange is the website says 2.4 mins. But support says 10+. It can't both be correct. Surely bg is correct in immediate time. There website say's 2.4 mins from real time. I find the 2.4 to be most correct. Or even less sometimes

    Libre 2 support

    I just been speaking with libre support about inaccuracy. They keep telling me to allow 10-15 after bg tests. Yet according to there own website it says 2.4 minutes. I told them this lot's of times. You can't have both. They are sending me a reader and sensor. They previously sent a neo meter...

    What is happening with our nhs

    Reckon that's how it will be from now on. Once covid is finished, it will carry on being like this.

    What is happening with our nhs

    Sorry to say this, but since the pandemic things have may have taken it's toll. Seeing a gp doesn't seem to happen, just a phone call if your lucky. DSN appointments don't happen. I don't think it ever will again. Surely they are all being paid still. Might as well just ask google. Will...

    Freestyle libre

    I met a young mother a couple of months ago outside a shop. She had a libre that was visable. I said hello, and said I have one on. She told me she was type2 but was varying a lot and had been issued one.

    Not totally happy with libre 2

    My previous couple of sensors were often 2 out or more. My current unit though, after first couple of day's usually 1 or slightly better. Quite often though if I scan say 5minutes apart it changes quite a lot. Yet the arrow shows straight across...this happens when the first reading is out, so...

    Insulin Pumps

    I use an insight pump with soft flexible canula. Like it a lot, a bit slow with the remote handset but works well. I did improve lumps by slowing down the insulin bolus speed. I am now on slowest speed, so takes over a minute to deliver, say 5 units. By doing this it gives the area more time...

    So how much difference are you getting compared with bg tests. Thanks

    Not totally happy with libre 2

    Hi all I have been on the libre 1 for quite a while and found them reasonably accurate. Often quite good compared to bg. Why is the 2 nowhere near as good in my opinion. Yet they are advertised as being more accurate. I am on my 3rd libre 2 sensor and all not very good. Don't they get people...

    Pump and Libra sensors

    I am also on both, but still libre 1 at moment. We were told to always use blood tests for decision making as it was more accurate. Libre although good I feel it's best to use the pump equipment especially for meal bolus

    Flu Jab &T1D

    My results are also higher since the the jab. But it's only been 2 day's yet. But before I had it my control was very good. Had to increase my basal, also my bolus ratio on pump. Going on holiday soon as well. Hoping it improves. I was not spiking hardly after meals but I am now.

    Pump bags for accucheck insight

    I put my insight pump in a pump pouch that is incorporated into a nice soft elasticated belt. I get them off Ebay. Are available in blue or very light tan. No buckles, a simple popper to shut. Quite cheap

    How many carbs in broad beans

    Thankyou all for your replies. They give me good guidelines. Some on web were quite high(perhaps they were coated ones).

    How many carbs in broad beans

    Hi all I am a type 1 diabetic on a pump. I have a small allotment,and grow broad beans. I use only natural fertilizer. But I am struggling to find how many carbs in them. I have been eating them for a while now. Internet seems to give different values. Thankyou all
