Hi. Looking at my recent lipid profile I'm thinking my HDL and triglyceride / LDL ratios are good. But still recommend a statin. I've declined for now. Am I making a mistake? Cheers.

Hi everyone. Just had the annual blood test results phone call from the doctor. All good apart from elevated cholesterol and advising statins. I most likely will decline but I'd like to know what you guys would do in my shoes. I'm 43 in good health, fit and active with a tiny bit of stable...

The DVLA now find the using the FSL acceptably monitoring for driving. But is it ok to use third party apps like Xdrip or Spike with MM or Blucon? I use xdrip/MM 24/7 but always scan with Abbots app before driving just to make sure.

Hi. I know about the usual warnings about accuracy but is there anyway, official or hack, to make the Libre run the insulin bolus advisor when scanning the sensor. I'm finding it very accurate and it's only an advisor anyhow. Cheers.

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. Looking for advise please. The picture shows a typical picture of my overnight and morning BGs. Nice and flat until 6 and then boom! It's takes me until lunchtime to get back on a even keel. The only way I've found to stop it is a small dose of...

Does anyone know how much the Medtronic Guardian CGM is? I've got a Freestyle Libre now which I must say I'm pretty impressed with. Just wish the sensors were cheaper.
