I really was hoping that your question would have had a lot of feedback as I am also considering exactly the same thing, even though I have only been using the Libre for a short time compared to you. I just feel that the alarms would be very helpful and from what I have read online the Dexcom...

Thanks everyone, going to have a read through it all and hopefully keep this sensor on my arm!

Hi, Can anyone recommend the best way to keep a Libre sensor on for as long as possible. I have had one on for 3 days and it already seems to be coming away at one point! Thanks

Thanks, Should the contraction of a muscle cause any problems with the sensors etc.. just thinking if lifting weights in relation to bicep or triceps?

Hi everyone, This might sound like a strange question but can you wear the libre sensors whilst lifting heavy weights in the gym? I was just a bit worried about it moving, falling off or just not working? Thank Michael

Hi @Neoncat, I joined a cycling club last year who I go out with once per week normally but it can often get pushed back with my work and as I am back at university. With family life in the mix too the only time I often have to cycle is too and from work. I agree totally with the clocks going...

Thanks @Juicyj, I do try and get out on my mountain bike when I can as you are right it has helped in the past. I think people often don't realise how much there is to actually think about behind the scenes when controlling diabetes. What sort of thing do you find are triggers for you? Just...

Hi everyone, Probably best to start with the basics, I was diagnosed with T1 when I was 6 years old, I'm now 35 and over the last few years I have been having episodes of 'why me', 'what did I do to deserve this?' Even down to 'what is the point?' This is all surrounded with an overall feeling...

Did they mention what sort of criteria it will be? I did think the sensor might hurt mind but if it didnt that is a bonus. was it a diabetic clinic at a hospital you go too or a nurse via the gp? sorry for all the questions but sometimes its better to speak to someone trying it rather than a...

How did you find the sensor to apply and does it feel secure? I work in quite a physical job and I am concerned that it might get knocked off! How did you go about getting a trial? Just at the moment it doesn't seem to matter what I do, I find my bloods are all over the place!

Hi everyone, i am new on here but have been T1 for 29 years now. Is it just me who finds that they think they have their diabetes running along really well and something happens to bite you (so to soeak!) Anyway, I have been looking into the Freestyle Libre but the major concren i have is...

Hi emma_hughes3, I sometimes find that my control seems to waiver and it’s normally when I think I am doing everything I should etc.. it can feel like I run out of ideas as to how I get it back under control. For me this is one of the reasons I joined the forum and decided to post on here. I...
