Pretty happy, I was due a face to face appointment with my new consultant. He’d asked when doing a phone appointment last May if I could go in next time so he could meet me. Very nice. Anyway the appointment was overdue but not urgent. The phone rings yesterday lunchtime, it was the clinic on...

Less than 2 weeks from filling in on line to it dropping through the door. Looks like they have their delay problems sorted.

The carb heavy homemade lasagne and garlic bread may eventually have other ideas.

Following a hospital trial I did for Abbott in May, I finally have a one off Libre 3 freebie setup and running. As it runs on a separate app, I decided to overlap the previous Libre 2 sensor which has another 24 hours to run. Positives of the 3 it’s continuous as opposed to having to scan, it...

Anyone else having problems with the site and forum? I use the app and nothing is loading. Also the site when I log in is hard to navigate and seems very random.

Have I done anything differently? Have I ecky thumb

After 5 years of Libre readers, finally using a phone. Just bought up to date compatible I Phone 12 mini. Was very nervous activating this morning but am loving it. Whoop!
