    United Kingdom - Freestyle Libre 3 - Whatever Happened to the Freestyle Libre 2?

    This is interesting. He talks about the Libre 3 and IOS phone so I guess that’s Apple.

    Freestyle Libre 3

    If someone would just clarify for me, before I barge my way into the DN’s office, am I right in thinking that the Libre3 has to have consultant approval, whereas the Libre2 can be authorised by the GP? Many thanks.

    Libre 3...... Not for a while

    Confused. My Libre 2 alarms woke me up twice last night when it was below 3.9. How does that work? Of course I swiped sleepily to find out the result, but still the alarm went off which is a good thing.

    Wait time for test results

    For me, the C Peptide took about a week. The GAD was 3/4 weeks. I had the tests done privately so unsure if it makes any difference to get the results.

    Metformin

    I have now been taken off Metformin. My consultant confirms I am very insulin sensitive with no evidence insulin resistance. 2 weeks without Metformin and it confirms it wasn’t doing anything for me. I’m happy with that and just taking 6u of Lantus. Thank you for all your input.

    C peptide tests - fasted or not fasted?

    My GP, and would not do another test, however my consultant did repeat the test. Also I am not insulin resistant so that probably has to do with my diagnosis. There has to be a marker either fasted or non fasted. I had 2 c-peptide test, both fasted, 2 years apart, it showed quite a decrease...

    Metformin

    Thank you everybody. As I mentioned in my main post, I am not looking for advice, just opinions. I can then make a list of questions to ask my gp and it’s great to gather all the information that others are able to give from their own experiences. At the moment I am suffering from some...

    Metformin

    Well at last I have been official classed as a late onset Type 1. Very insulin sensitive but no insulin resistance. I’m trying to understand all this now, but I feel so much better since starting long lasting insulin. (Lantus). I only take 6 units in the evening and it’s working great. I had...

    Introduction and queries on LADA testing

    Hi @Alexandra100 my bg started rise from 2017. It was a steady rise and only slight but I just kept on doing low carb/keto and at times, carnivore. I was, what some classify, as a skinny type 2 bit my visceral fat was very low. I just accepted the fact and presumed that I may just be a...

    Introduction and queries on LADA testing

    My doctor wouldn’t do it for me (the c-peptide test) and wanted to know where I got the information from. Really? I’m skinny and have tried all the low carb and keto options possible along with intermittent fasting. I was losing weight albeit slowly but my BS just kept going up and I was...
