Just to let everyone know that it seems to have settled in and I'm loving this In less than a few days I'm much more relaxed about my glucose levels. Much happier about being able to see what's happening and not just getting snapshots, and very sore fingers, from finger tests. Sadly unless I can...

I did do a retest and got same reading was very odd as someone else suggested it might take time to settle in. I will just keep checking

I confess I didn't do that I will try be more patient, unfortunately patience isnt one of my virtues.

Yep. Actually think I might have sussed it. Delay between bloods and libre. Just scanned it and it's now showing 12.5

I am currently on a free trial of libre. My readings are way lower than I get with using my contour next. Example just 10 mins ago I scanned at 6 and finger pricked at 12.5. Is this normal? Anyone else trying out the libre and finding that readings are very different.

Sods law i got my free trial and put it in place. Set it up and got it started. 2 hours later did my first scan and it's flipping faulty I've contacted them and now will wait on response and hopefully replacement. Just wondered if it's just me. Also how long it takes for replacement. Oh ouchy...

Today I got a call from our gp pharmacist, explaining to me why I wasn't suitable, at the moment, for various meds the decision is to start me on 1mg glimepiride. Mot before time especially as my before meal reading this evening was 22.7. Took pill before eating, just done bloods again and still...

Just been looking at that because had glimepiride 1mg added to my meds. It only served to confused me.

Believe it or not my gp still hasn't received a letter. I contacted the secretary fir the diabetes specialist and she informed me that as it wasn't marked as being urgent it went to bottom of the pike. It's now typed but has to wait on the prof's signature. In the meantime I'm still getting...

Had a diabetic review on Tuesday. They still don't have the letter from the hospital that's been 12 days. She's organised ketostix on prescription for me and I've to do bloods before food, if over 15, which they are all the time right now, I've to dip for ketone if ketones are oresent ive to...

Just back from clinic. They are writing to gp with suggestions of additional medication. I've to wait till my copy of the letter arrives and get in touch with gp so really I'm none the wiser except I now know my a1c was 87 not that I know what that means. He is also surprised that I'm getting...

I phoned the clinic today and was informed they had me in for an appointment beginning November I explained that I wasn't coping very well mentally or physically and she's just called me with an appointment on Thursday. [emoji4]

Yay, it's amazing what can be done with 9ne phone call. Just had a call from the clinic secretary and she has an appointment for me on thursday. Hopefully things will get sorted out then. [emoji4]

It's OK I have a non gender forum name so easy mistake to make. It gave me a little something to giggle at. I was surprised the gp didn't increase my meds as a temporary measure till I saw the clinic people. In the past they have done. I don't know if maybe I should phone the hospital direct...

Definitely not prostate lol I'm female. Yea I'm peeing loads but this is different. I can't explain. I have used the gp messaging system and notified them I'm still waiting on an appointment from the clinic. Also messaged them to let them know they prescribed the wrong strips. I asked for...

The last few nights my hands have felt on fire. I am desperately tired but keep getting what I can only cause spasms which are keeping me awake I've ran cold water on them, tried holding an ice block and even stood with my hands in the freezer. I'm in tears because I am frustratingly tired but...

To be honest it's anyone's guess as to when I will get an appointment there is so much backlog. All I can do is wait. Before the pandemic it would have only been 3 or 4 weeks, now it could be months. Lack of sleep may well be a factor however my lack of sleep is being caused by the high sugar...

Diagnosed t2 1999 not on insulin, although my recent problems might be heading me in that direction.

Just edited my post it was 1999 diagnosed not 93.

I am currently on metformin 1000mg x 1 daily and sitagliptin 50mg also 1 daily my gp has said I need this changed but I've got to wait for this appointment with the diabetes clinic it's really worrying me that I've had these symptoms for at least a year and not been recognised as being my...
