Hi sjm1308. No problem with the libre sensor and dexa scan. I had one in April Hope this helps

I have had similar gaps in readings. I thought it had to do with my phone. This first happened when I was on a holiday during which I experienced lots of time changes. It has also happened in the UK as well though Hope it settles down

I completely agree. Not having much luck in achieving it though

I am in agreement with all the above comments. The rationale given to me for the spike being ok was that my levels were back within range by the next meal time

Hi there I have also been given same advice from my Diabetes Team and like others who have responded I am concerned about this advice. My team also advised me not to bolus until food was on table. At my last review the doctor I saw gave me "a lecture" about why I should bolus early. I have...

Hi Steve From my experience I had to attend a group education session. We were given basic information on how to use the system. Prior to this we had to complete Bertie online and the Libre Academy modules and be signed of as competent in carb counting. At the session we were given a...

Hi misty65 Sorry to hear your news. . I am in a similar position thou yourself. I have had colitis for some time and in Jan this year it was confirmed that I have Type 1 Diabetes. Colitis is a very unpleasant illness. Thankfully there quite a few treatments for it. I sympathise with you and...

Hi Pam. I was diagnosed at 61. It did come as a shock. I was initially thought to have Tyoe 2 but following the antibody tests It was confirmed that I have type 1. It does take adjustment in particularly carb counting and remembering to take the things I need when I go out. Always having...

I would definitely concur on the size and type of font used. Then you have to do the maths

Hi there, hold on to the fact that you will feel better once your levels are under control. On Thursday they should go through injection technique, whether you want to use reusable or disable pens, hypo management etc. Ask about follow-up and how you get in touch if you need. Will be...

Hi there. When I was initially started on insulin, I was being treated as having type 2 diabetes Subsequently I was diagnosed as having type 1. I was started on insulin as I could not tolerate any of the oral drugs. I was started on long acting insulin once a day. I was then started on...

Thanks very much. My carb counting is reasonable. Never as good when I eat out though but it is improving. I will test before going to the cinema to ensure I am ok as I will be eating later. I am working hard to keep my levels within range and find that my levels can drop nearer to when I...

Thanks for your reply. I am on Lantus which I take in the morning and humalog which I take before meals Thanks

Hoping this is not a silly question. I am going out with friends to the cinema and for a meal on Tuesday evening. As I will be eating much later than normal my question is how do I manage the timing of my insulin and my evening meal. I usually have my insulin and evening meal between 6.30...

Hi RainbowBrite Don't be too disappointed it can take a while to get the insulin correct. My basal / longacting insulin still gets adjusted depending on where my levels are. My short acting insulin is based on carbs You will feel off when your levels are high. It's is good that you...

Hi RainbowBrite How are things going ?

Hi Lindsay Welcome to the forum. I was diagnosed with T1 in January this year. Take one day at a time and take time to adjust. Use the forum to get answers to all your questions

Hi there Sorry to hear about your troubles. A persistent itch must be extremely frustrating to put it mildly. This along with the lack of support from your gp must be making things worse. A couple of things relating to steroids. They will cause your blood sugars to rise. This will resolve once...

Hi there, it is the 3rd one down. It is a useful resource on carb content of a range of Foods. There is a charge for this app but at 3.99 well worth it. Hope your appointments went ok today

Hi RainbowBrite Eating out is a challenge, but developing carb counting skills will allow you to balance carbs and insulin requirements. It is not as easy as preparing your own food but it is important not to let this stop you from enjoying a meal out. I am sure you will see a dietician soon...
