Hi there, I've just been for my 3 monthly eye screening check (as last time they said I had signs of maculopathy). I've been so anxious about the whole thing since my last scan, and I've really improved my diabetes control, but I do realise this can have the reverse affect at first. I had my...

Hi there, I wanted to ask you guys about improving your glucose levels and potentially improving your eye health/reversing maculopathy? My last screening said I have signs of maculopathy and so I’m very keen to do everything I can to improve my levels. I understand that instant improved levels...

Hi everyone, Sorry it’s been a while since I’ve posted here. I just wanted to talk to you guys as it is really hard sometimes managing diabetes constantly. I’ve had it for about 20 years now, and apart from when I was a child, I haven’t really ever had ‘good’ levels.. they’ve been okay but...

Hi everyone, I hope you're all okay. I just wanted to chat to you because I'm feeling so overwhelmed with controlling diabetes at the moment, I'm doing all the stuff I should be like testing regularly and injecting with meals etc. but it just doesn't seem to be going right. I've been diabetic...

Hi everyone, I hope you’re all okay. I just felt like coming on here today as I had my first face to face diabetic review since covid which I was actually looking forward to, to properly see them. (I’ve had appointments but they’ve been on video chat and they didn’t manage to get my meter...

Hi everyone, I’ve noticed that my hypo alarm on my libre app is a different alert noise to my high glucose alarm, and I can’t see how to change that. Does anyone know how to do this? Thank you, Jessica

Hi there, I have started with a Freestyle Libre within the last 6 months, (I’ve not currently got alarms turned on), and I’ve noticed that I’ve been having hypos during the night and not realised. Do you think this might be that I wasn’t aware of them before, or could it be more likely that...

Hi all, This is the first time I’ve had the freestyle libre sensors in the hot summer, and the last two sensors have really struggled to stay on. This evening it has completely come off three days before the end of the 14 days (I even tried to partially stick it with superglue!). I think it’s...

Hi all, I hope you’re all okay. I’ve recently been having a lot of hypos (far too many for my liking!) and during the night I’m so concerned about the sugar damage to my teeth. Obviously I will always try to brush them when possible, but a ometimes if I’m staying with people it’s not convenient...

Hi all, I got my first freestyle libre sensor about 6 days ago and have been happy with it. I did notice that the direction arrows to show where your sugars may be heading seem quite inaccurate though. Has anyone else found this? For example, I tested 10.1 and it said I was going rapidly down...

Hi all, I just wanted to do a quick post to say I’ve just got my first freestyle libre sensor sent after being approved! I was so excited to get started with it and it seems amazing so far. I’m just trying to work out a couple of things. Basically I used to put my phone on Airplane mode...

Hi all, I hope you’re all doing okay. I just wanted some advice really, as I’ve been noticing a lot of mid morning highs, even when my levels have been good first thing. For example, my blood sugar might have been 6 at 8am, and then will always rise to roughly 13 at about 10:30-11:45am. This...

Hi everyone, Sorry if I’m not meant to be posting this here.. I just wanted advice as I’ve accidentally just given myself a double dose of Levemir. I do 16 units in the morning and 8 at night, and gave myself the morning dose because I wasn’t thinking. Do you think it’ll have much effect? If...

Hey everyone, I hope you’re doing okay. I just wanted to ask for some advice because I’ve been thinking a lot recently about switching over to a pump. Obviously I’ll have to see if I meet the criteria (does anyone know what this is by the way?), but aside from that I wondered how you feel...

Hi guys, I haven't posted on here in a while and I think it's mainly because I haven't been taking my diabetes seriously for a long time but have had a bit of a reality check when I got my latest eye screening results back - They said I have background retinopathy and so I really need to...

Hi everyone, I have been diabetic for about 10 years and understand about injection site rotation and replacing the needles etc, but recently my injections have been really painful and I always seem to bruise and I'm not sure why. I have been doing more muscle exercises, so maybe that's it...

Hey everyone, Ignore the title, I should have said Freestyle Libre meters! This is just a quick post... I was browsing this site as I was looking for some advice on control and blood glucose management, as I feel like my levels have been consistently high generally over the last few months...

Hey everyone.. I've got my diabetes appointment at the hospital this week, and I am so nervous about it, because for the past few weeks, my blood glucose levels have been so so high. I just don't know what to say to them, I don't want to show them my meter... How can I get out of this habit...

Hey there! I recorded an acoustic version of the Christmas carol Deck The Halls... I hope you like it :) Does anyone have any other ideas for videos I could do? Not just singing videos but videos in general? :D

Hey there! I have a Youtube channel, and I am in need of some inspiration for new videos! I do singing videos, covers and my own songs, but I also do random video diaries as well and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas based on my other videos/what you'd like to see? :)...
