    HUGE UPDATE: Dexcom G5 Three-Month Transmitter Battery Life

    This is a business, they need to sell as many units as possible to make money. Like the Freestyle Libre which is 14 days once your hooked you are in. We need to start thinking of these people more like the people that call you up and say you maybe entitled to PPI back. Like Charlie and the...

    Sugar Tax

    Hi I am a Type 1 when I spoke to them they said I needed to be registered as disabled. However, having read the HMRC guide lines I think I can argue its a chronic disease. I will follow this up.

    Sugar Tax

    I tend to steer clear of the shakes. My son is 9 and so quick meals between activities are required. Mostly we eat healthy. I do sense an air of desperation from the Chancellor. He has no where to go, the additional tax I pay on the sensors gets my back up. I feel I am and will continue to be a...

    Poll: Which diabetes course(s) have you attended?

    Berti - This was in Essex. The staff were great and a real credit to the NHS. They bonded with the patients and the bond has stuck.

    Diabetes Burnout.

    My Dad gave up in the end. He basically stopped taking the insulin. He was admitted to hospital when he was sick on holiday at my brothers. His heart rate slowed and sugar level rocketed. He was released and told if he was sick to go to A&E. The day after he drove home and was sick over night...

    Type 1 Are there meters that can detect Hypo's from breath?

    A dog can detect the specific scent on the human breath that is related to rapidly dropping or low blood sugar levels. If this is the case are there no breath testers or sensors that can do this?

    Disinterested GP

    I was in the Navy when I was diagnosed as T1. I lost a load of weight and used a friends tester to find my sugar was 12. I went to the principle medical officer and informed him I may have diabetes. His response was "go outside and read the sign on the door" I read him name rank and job title...

    POLL.Has continuous glucose monitoring changed your out look?

    Since I fitted the freestyle libra the information I gained has changed my view of diabetes. I am now able to tightly control my highs and lows before they bite. This means taking small corrections when my levels rise or the odd fast acting carb as my sugar starts to dive. My biggest change is...

    So what's causing this then (complete with Libre trace photos!)...?

    I have been getting the same readings as you. I had settled my night time results in the zone by splitting my Lantas. 22 at night 12 in the day. Then this week for no reason my sugar levels started to climb after bed. Nothing had changed as I was eating the same food at the same time. In...

    Redundant

    Life is a bus some people ride the bus this is your chance to drive the bus. Being a Chef is physically demanding and I would suggest hard to control your sugar levels. If you enjoy it then push on with it. My last contract finished in December (short notice) and I have only just got a couple of...
