My comments on this meter are similar. If you phone the company they will send you a replacement meter. Unfortunately that will go the same way. At a recent appointment locally I was told they are looking for a replacement as there have been so many issues highlighted.

Hi there. You do not need to buy a meter and testing strips. You will get these on prescription along with all the rest of the things you need. You could contact your DSN and ask for one in advance of your appointment. Failing that your GP practice should be able to provide you with one...

Hi Stephfish I use the MiaoMiao 1, Glimp and an android phone. I did try the tomato app but found that I did not stay connected to it for any length of time. I contacted the MiaoMiao people and they suggested I tried one of the other apps. Glimp seems to work for me quite well. Not always...

Hi there, I would say it does. Definitely check, first thing in the morning, before breakfast, then pre lunch and evening meal. Lastly before bed. The nurse you see next week will guide you on what level you should be before bed. Get your questions ready for your appt next week. Take care

Hi there, I am a year down the road from diagnosis of Type 1. It came as shock. It does take time to adjust. Take one day at a time. Like you one thing that really worried me initially were hypos. While that is something that is still there it is not as such a big thing and I now feel much more...

No problem. Hope this helps.

Hi Mad76 I use libre ,MiaoMiao, Glimp and Samsung combo. I have the Samsung j6 so there maybe sound difference in setting things up. I hope you can follow my ramblings and they make sense. If not please let me know. In Glimp go to the 3 dots on the top of the screen, then options, then...

Hi Happy hippy, Thanks for your reply. I am hoping to get off steroids soon. I am now on a much lower dose. Weight loss is a problem for me not weight gain. Not sure which is worse. It is not easy to gain weight. If you can tolerate them raspberries and strawberries do not seem to cause my...

Hi Happy hippy I am in a similar position to yourself. I have Type 1 and colitis. My colitis is not as severe as yours. I have never required surgery. Like you I have to watch what I eat. I was initially thought to have Type 2 but further investigation revealed I have Type 1. I am currently...

I am currently going through the process of moving onto a pump. I attended a session on the various pumps on offer locally. The omnipod dash is one of them. The handset looks very much a mobile phone. It looks like a mobile. Indi locally starting pumping from this month will be starting on...

Hi Impi Like yourself I suffer from various autoimmune diseases. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, Colitis, Underactive Thryoid as well as T1. Managing is a challenge. I make use of the various Specialist Nurses I have access to. If I can be of any help please get in touch.

After speaking to DSN team locally it would appear that they have quite a few people reporting issues with this meter. Her advice was that the buttons on the meter were very sensitive and she recommended storing the meter in the case it comes with. She did not have any suggestions about the...

Hi there, locally if we are using libre we have been changed to this meter. I have found similar problems to yourself. In addition I have had several replacement meters as the meter does not hold the date and time. I have to set date and time every time I use it. I use for Glucose and ketone...

Hiya You can change the readings from mg/d to mmol / L by going into the person icon at the the bottom of the screen then into the Settings cogwheel at the top of this screen. You will see BG units on this screen. Hope this makes sense. Good luck with MiaoMiao and Tomato

Hi Bouchay I had similar problems with my MiaoMiao. It stopped working after a sensor change. Likes your it would not connect to the new sensor. The sensor was working well. I emailed the company. They eventually responded. Please try the following steps: 1: Reset miaomiao holding down the...

Hi Malky I am sorry I cannot offer you any advice. I am however currently going through the process of going onto a pump so I will be watching this thread with interest. I have the choice between the 640g, the omnipod and the tslim. Good luck with your decision making

Hi Annabell Pleased that you have found something that you can tolerate. It can be a matter of trial and error. I often find that food which is plainer such as chicken is best tolerated. Unfortunately that can get a bit boring. I like your idea adding some flavour, makes things more...

Morning Annabell, Sorry you are having such a rough time at the minute. I have colitis so experience some of the same things as you. I can definitely empathise with how the thought of preparing & eating food when My gut is acting up. For me I find that sweeteners such as stevia can upset me. I...

Hi Fndwheelie, I agree I have not noticed anyone else talking about using it. I did try Glimp but could not get it to link with my MiaoMiao. Not sure why. Probably my lack of technical ability.

Hi Fndwheelie I use the Tomato app with my MiaoMiao. I find the app easy to use. You can calibrate against your own blood results. Best time to do that is when your levels are stable. For me that is usually first thing in the morning. Sorry I cannot help with your other queries Hope...
