You did the sensible thing @Tulip01 good on you for taking responsibility for your health! Diabetic ketoacidosis is a nasty complication but I'm glad to hear you are on the mend!

@Amy.W is there anything you could do to try take your mind off it? I'm not one for breathing exercises or anything but it might be something worth trying! It totally consumes your mind though. Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Thanks for the replies! @Bill_St how did you get the hba1c estimation from the Libre? According to my average over the last 2 weeks it's 10 (obviously too high) but it would have been that all month and my last a1c came back 2 weeks ago at 59 (7.5%) looked up a chart and it estimated 8% if your...

@RoseofSharon did you get any official news yet?xxx @Postitnote you just described how I feel every single day! I've been with my now husband 14 years and spent many years in my early 20's avoiding getting pregnant, now I want to and cant because of my dumb diabetes! And if one more person...

Hi everyone I'm worried about the differences in numbers between my Libre and my usual glucose monitor. There is usually a 2-3 mmol difference when I check them off each other. will this effect my hba1c when I get one done in 3 weeks? Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

I spoke with a Libre rep last week and he said they are happy to replace sensors however they keep a record so if you ring looking for a sensor replacement into the second week of using the sensor they might give it to you the first time but they are clamping down as there's some people taking...

I'm on my sixth day of my very first sensor!it became unstuck after a shower, sort of hanging off with the needle still in my arm. I put a plaster on it and a bandage over that again to keep it in place until the 14th day!not a good look but how's ever! I'm hoping I won't have a reaction to...

Yesterday was one of the worst I heard. A girl at work that i had just told I had type 1 to: Girl: oh! My friend also HAD diabetes but a much worse form than you, yours is only mild Me: how do you figure that? Girl: well my friend was always sick Me: the reason you don't see me sick is because I...

Oh no what did they come in at?will your clinic see you every 2 weeks now? Thanks for the encouraging words, they definitely help! I've read every book imaginable on t1d pregnancy and it sounds like bloody hard work!

Hi girls so my results came back at 59. Was disappointed I was hoping for 53. I got my freestyle libre today though so I'm praying it makes all the difference and I get my 53 by this time next month!my doctor said if I even get close to that she will give me the go ahead! So that's the plan...
