Hello everyone once again! I currently have funding from my GP for the Libre and also funding from my hospital for the pump. I'm still on trial with the pump but it's looking very likely that I will be keeping it. I'm now looking at moving out from home. Ideally I want to move out of Cornwall...

Ok, guys, I'm having some big issues lately and just wondering of anyone has any advice while I wait for my nurse to get back to me after the weekend. Currently on a six month pump trial and I need to get my a1c down to 66 to be able to keep it. It's gone well so far, I had my first a1c test...

Hello! I've seen so many people mention the MiaoMiao to be used with Libre sensors and I've always been interested in it. I'm about ready to bite the bullet and buy one but it's a fair bit of money to spend out for me. I'd just like to get opinions from anyone who has the MiaoMiao, or even just...

Hi everyone. I've been on my insulin pump alongside my Libre for almost a month now. I'm seeing some improvements but not enough - I have the pump funded for another 5 months where I then need to have dropped my a1c by 10-20mmol/mol or I lose the funding (and there's no way I can afford to fund...

Hello everyone! I'm in a bit of a pickle at the moment. I FINALLY got my pump last Monday after 2 years of waiting. I've got a Medtronic 640g and I'm already seeing an improvement just a week and a half on. However, I've reached a bit of a problem and am waiting for my specialist to get back to...

Hello again, everyone! I suppose this is more something I wanted to get off my chest than anything else. I'm in a bit of a career slump at the moment. I graduated university a few years back and since then have done nothing but work in a supermarket. This was fine for a while but now I'm...

Hello again! I've just come back from a 2 week trip away where my blood glucose was going ok for the most part (slightly higher here or there but no higher than 15, I was trying to prevent hypos from happening). Since I returned on Monday, my insulin seems to be doing absolutely nothing at some...

I went to see my nurse and diabetes specialist on Wednesday and it was the first time I've seen my specialist since my hba1c dropped from 67 to 63. Bearing in my mind that my a1c was 80 in August 2016, my specialist said to just keep doing what I'm doing and not worry too much about lowering my...

Hello! So I'm potentially about to start being considered for an insulin pump on the NHS. It is extremely early stages at the moment as my DSN has literally just mentioned it to me and wants to put me forward for it and I'm having an appointment with her next week to start a discussion on it...

I just wanted to post after receiving my latest hba1c result today. A bit of background - my a1c has pretty much been permanently in the high 70s/low 80s since I was diagnosed in 2000. BUT, things have been going really well in the last year especially. Last August I was 80, it dropped to 67 a...

I've only just thought about this actually but I travel around a fair bit and go through my fair share of airports (I'm going through four alone in January). I was just wondering if people have had problems or trouble going through airport security while they have a Libre sensor attached? I'm...

Hi everyone! Long-time stalker of the forum, first-time poster. I'm a Type 1 diabetic and diagnosed when I was 7 (17 years and counting!). I went for the DAFNE course over the summer and started testing my BG levels more often. Recently I got myself a Freestyle Libre and found myself testing...
