Hi all tomorrow I depart on my honeymoon to Thailand. Wondering what the rules are for the long acting timings. I fly at 4 pm so do I stick with English timings until I arrive or start transitioning on the planes? Any advice would be welcomed

Well you are diabetic and u did ask people to describe you. Embrace it. You are u and personally robot is a cool name. When I had my libre patch my daughter thought I was turning into a robot. Finally don't worry what others think of u. You are awesome

Thanks for the advice guys. I will leave it a couple of days and hopefully will be fine. Just worried slightly as this didn't happen first time round. Will update how I get on

I had my second laser treatment on my eye yesterday. Today my eyesight has been blurred in that eye. Wondering if this should be expected or if it is something I need to worry about? Any experience would be appreciated

Hi. I am just coming to the end of my first 2 week sensor. Imo the libre is just fantastic if nothing else them for the ease of testing. My fingers have had a well earned rest. Couple of key points from my experience. There is a difference so if reading is low do a normal blood check...

Morning everyone. Feeling slightly deflated this morning in that it seems a case of solve one problem get another at the moment. So the last 2 days I have gone carb free at breakfast and for the last 2 do had the same issue rising levels. Despite having no carbs both days I injected 2 units...

Hi @Erin85 thanks for your question. Yes we did although you are a couple of days in front of me. So far I have to say that I love it. It has really opened my eyes in understanding what is happening and why my hba1c is so high. While my sugars at 4 hours are pk it is where they are the rest...

Interesting. Are there any particular rules that should be followed in these instances??

Hi @tim2000s thanks for the message. What the graph doesn't show is that when I went to bed at 10pm my sugar was 12. I had 2 units of Qa insulin to bring it down but it still rose consistently through the night?

Apologies for another post but couldn't figure out how to add a new photo to my last one Curious to get thoughts on last night's reading. No major carbs. Had 60g from garlic bread. I did have a large bottle of amstel at about 9.00pm but had 2 units of Qa to compensate. Seems like there was a...

Hi guys. Firstly big thanks for all the replies they are appreciated. Fortunately pasta is only a once a week dish but will definitely have a go at splitting it for the next meal. It's funny because I never really thought about injections and splitting until being on here. I have always just...

Thanks @himtoo that was my initial reaction that it was a steep rise. I had my tea at 7.30 and had a carb heavy meal of pasta. In total it was 120g of carbs so I don't know if that could affect it. I would have thought 5 hours later it shouldn't affect it that much but I might be wrong

Hopefully my attachment worked. So firstly I am enjoying my new libre. I will do a full review after the 2 weeks use. The best part is understanding what is happening during the night. Hopefully u can see the increase in my levels from about 2am. I had my evening insulin at 10.30 last night...

Great tip thanks @Hirstygirl I have followed ur advice

Morning everyone. My libre arrived yesterday as I have fitted this morning. Excited to see the outcomes coming up. Maybe a stupid question but my biggest worry is it coming off. If it does come lose does it come off completely? Just worried about it dropping off

Thanks everyone for the replies. Well I have taken the plunge and ordered it so look forward to getting hold and having a look what is really going on in there. While I know it isn't a cure I am positive that it can give me the information to make informed changes probably for the first time in...

Hi guys thanks for the replies. I think I am going to take the plunge and go for it. I have a lot of unanswered questions about my overall sugar level movements and I am hopeful this will fill in those remaining blanks. @steve_p6 thanks for the tip. My fiancé has a ton of the stuff that she...

Morning everyone. I was just wondering if anyone out there has any experience of using libre and how it benefits there control. Contemplating buying one in an effort to get my levels down. Frankly the costs will mean that I can't afford to use it all the time but a few adhoc 2 week cycles...

Hi mate hope u are feeling a bit more positive today. I can relate 100% to how you are feeling right now. Like u I am 36 and just had laser in both eyes. I have always tested and injected but my levels have always been up and down. I posted the other day about my frustrations. I am trying to...

Spent this week trying to really keep my levels at an acceptable state. The start of the week was great mostly in range. Made a few tweaks and was all good. Kept snacks carb free and felt good. Then Thursday things seemed to return to normal. On the way home I had a bag of crisps. Thought I...
