I think it would increase usage of you could just go out and buy one.

Do you think that's to prepare for NHS rollout? Will be interested to see if prices drop or you can get them from chemists from 1st November.

New one on the way. Current one working normally

Nothing on my account...

Still nothing from Abbott - I have previously found their customer service good but I am beginning to have doubts this time

Waiting for Abbotts latest response. I agree a few days without it and my fingers were very bruised. Always put in 24 hours before but strangely the 2 I've used immediately have been the most reliable. If the difference was standard I don't have a problem it's the variability I've had with...

You're in line with my thoughts and it's why this thread is so interesting as I do believe it's my next step. Both parents are T2 and I have severe cardiovascular issues on both sides with my father recently dying with vascular dementia. I am also disabled meaning exercise is limited to less...

My understanding is that type 2's initial problem is that they have too much glucose circulating but that our cells have lost the ability to use Insulin properly to mop up this glucose. Eating a low carb diet seems to help with this cell resistance meaning that a lot of type 2's can either slow...

I find the time before meals almost impossible to keep to and quite often it seems to hit it's peak way after I've eaten. I'm glad you've got into the swing of things - I felt for you when you described your hesitation

I was told my Insulin amount would increase if I switched - do you agree? My Hba1c was 57 so not over high but post meal peaks are in the teens

@Janeliz66. How is the switch going. Currently on M3 and may have to switch soon myself.

So perhaps what I am seeing is a normal pattern but exaggerated for some reason.

In discussion with them, they have replaced the previous 2 but I think I have reached the point where I would rather they gave me a reason. I have sent them all back but no feedback. I work with GPs and we were discussing the libre and I was honest and said great for trends and when it works...

Have just had my third sensor of 5 fail - it's over 5 mmol out against finger pricks. According to libre I was at 2.9 and dropping but I was really 8 and rising. The libre never went above 3.8 for the next 5 hours though I went up to 11 having started to treat the 2.9 instead of double and...

Had one on the 7th. I have them every year, this time my arm was a little tender but nothing more.

Looks like a reaction to the adhesive. You could give it a rest and then try in a few weeks, I also seem to remember people were using tegaderm patches as a base and had some success with shooting the sensor through the film. You could also try some of the skin wipes / creams that act as a...

Some areas with GP recruitment issues do have closed lists. They are not allowed to discriminate or positively allow any group of patients including diabetics. The best thing is to either call or go online and find out if they are accepting patients. It's not that common at the moment to have...

Last 2 have done the same, the first of them I eventually had replaced by Abbott but this one seems not to have repeatable errors all of the time just on the higher and lower margins. I will probably look to stop using it for a while as it isn't reliable enough at the minute to stabilise my...

For me I've found it was relatively accurate when I was high but now I am lower it doesn't do the higher end well ie a 6.9 on sensor is often 8.5 - 9.5 and when the libre says 4 it's usually 5.1 so in theory out of tolerance. But if sensor says 6.9 the meter usually agrees...

For me rock tape did it.
