For me as a type 2 it's to see what lays behind the annual Hba1c and the finger pricks. I have dawn phenomenon so I want to see what happens. For me as I will be going on insulin it's also to provide a baseline

I can see myself spending hours looking at the data. I couldn't finger prick every 15 mins and I am hoping the overnight information will be useful as due to go on insulin soon.

I react to plasters but also had a very nasty reaction to a pain killing patch but it was absorbing drugs through the skin. Will try with just cavilon to start with. I have 3 smart watches and just can't resist new tech though I must admit have gone off Samsung recently due to poor customer...

I thought someone had said the pixel worked. It refuses to download the app as my device is not supported. I am running android O so will see if my son can download on his pixel. If he can I will report to Abbott that they may have issues with O. I have emailed them from the support page but...

So this slowness is normal? My hesitation is how my skin will react which is why I am buying one at a time but then you don't appear to get a discount for buying more.... On the other hand it's a gadget so I'm hooked.

So waiting for my first sensor, has anyone else been frustrated by the slowness. I know I am used to Amazon etc but I ordered on Sunday and it is still only showing as picked this morning - Wednesday. At this rate I will have to order a replacement almost as soon as I put the first one on. In...

i have access to a S7 edge so can try tonight to see if it will download the app. i have downloaded the libre link up app this morning which i can apparently use to transmit data to several people in the hope that i can use the S4 just as a reader and my pixel to look at the data. however I...

the pixel (the truest android experience) isnt supported but the galaxy S4 is - the current model S8 isnt.

Great thanks. I have ordered a libre but usually react to plaster so experimenting with options before it arrives.

Anyone get a reaction to the rocktape?

It would have been funny if it wasn't the first week, I guess my technique was poor and I think my thighs are probably made of leather... Thank you for your advice it's really appreciated.

I tried the Victoza in my thigh once and bent the needle so it squirted everywhere. Have stuck to the abdomen since then but that's only one injection so I guess I will have to try my thigh again. Good news they colour code the pens I hadn't thought about mixing them up. Might have to start...

I like the idea of the pens as I am assuming they will be similar to use as Victoza. In some ways I'm hoping the need to monitor and calculate carbs will help me lose weight as I do like data and this will appeal in a weird way.

Thank you. I am trying to tell my fingers they will be fine. :)

Thanks I have bookmarked it so I can keep going back to it. There seems to be a slight swing towards T2's going on insulin early - time will tell whether or not NHS advice changes. I have found the thread where the side effects of lantus are discussed, once I've read that I will look for the...

Thanks. That's something to aim for. I have a feeling I will have a lot of questions that I doubt the nurse will answer in a 20 minute session or that I will think to ask! I am moving towards taking Insulin but am going to spend some time on this site trying to understand how it all works. I...

Thank you. So if you're careful you can manage your weight on insulin. At the moment I have noticed I am more tired than when my levels were lower so I think I have to do something. I've read that type 2's are sometimes only offered the long acting insulin but it seems sensible to be able to...

Thanks both. I am low carbing but my blood sugars are still rising, it feels as though the Victoza has switched off so I am wondering whether I am no longer producing as much insulin as before so it's not as effective. I am worried about weight gain as even though I've lost 2.5 stone I still...

So I am type 2 and 8 months ago went on Victoza. It was like a wonder drug and I lost 2 stone. Then the weight loss stopped and then about 2 months ago the constipation kicked in. 5 days for a meal to pass through...(sorry for so much detail). So I have a GP appointment tomorrow and I am...

Glad you stuck with it. It does get easier...
