Evening all, I hope your all well and having a nice evening. Just a quick one, not sure how long it will last but I have managed to get 2 libre sensors from my local boots for £35 each. They are on order and will be here Thursday. I noticed on the libre Facebook group people had been...

Our local ccg have told my gp that under no circumstances will they be funding the libre sensors in the Staffordshire area for qualifying diabetics as it’s too expensive. Has anyone else tried to get one? I’ve seen thousands of posts saying non in their area either on Abbott’s Facebook page...

Good morning all, I hope you are well. I’m still fighting but close to giving up now. I posted about this problem sometime ago, another month and a half on and still no support from both my diabetic specialist nurse and now even the consultant who actually laughed at me when I told him the...

Started following Dr. Bernstein’s diabetic solution end of June, figured out by the start of August my novorapid wasn’t sustaining long enough to catch the protein so needed a longer regular insulin to do the job. Got everything down to a tea, stronger and healthier than I’ve ever been. Was...
