The last 2 times my mum has changed her sensor, it comes up with alarms unavailable shortly after. Last time it was a case of turning off and on Bluetooth. She has a Samsung a40 or 41?? It's not got the latest update, as she was worried it wouldn't work with the sensor. Could that be part of...

Posting on behalf of my mum, who is type 1. She's had some stomach issues lately, and has found going gluten free has helped a bit. She always used to have weetabix in the mornings...that suited her blood sugars. Now she doesn't know what to have. She's tried all sorts of cereal...cornflakes...

My mum changed her sensor on Friday, and since then, the low and high glucose alarms haven't worked. She gets a message saying low glucose alarm on the front of her phone, but it doesn't make a sound. The notification volume is up and she's not had a problem before. Any ideas why this is happening?

My mum (type 1) has been waking up with low sugars...her libre alarm has been waking her up about 6am the last few mornings. The alarm is set at 4.2 She worked out her insulin for her tea tonight. Her alarm has gone off 3 times tonight. She had a packet of crisps and a jam sandwich the first...

This morning I had 2 weetabix and 19 grams of all bran sprinkled on top. My blood sugar before this was 5.5. 15 minutes after I finished eating, it went up to 7.4. 45 mins after eating it went to 8. An hour and a half later it came back down to 7.2. Now, I didn't think that was a big...

My mum put a new sensor on last night, and went hypo today...she then noticed her sensor alarms weren't working, even though they're turned on. It says at the top that alarms only work when a new sensor is started. Has she done something wrong when starting this new one? How can we fix it?

So, my diet isn't great...as I struggle to think of foods I would actually like to eat that are low Carb/GI or low calorie. I try my best in the week, but at the weekends I tend to eat white bread, tinned tomato soup and a bit of cake. I always gain a couple of pounds on the Monday. This week...

I've not tried these yet...would they be considered lower Carb than potato chips or more specifically low GI?

With having pcos, possible fibroids, and insulin resistance...weight loss is hard. I did it years ago...pre birth control. Was put on birth control since then, and find it harder now to lose weight. I don't know for sure if the combined pill makes it harder to lose, but I'm just wondering if it...

I've just discovered lactose free strawberry Greek yogurt in asda, but I don't know if it's suitable for a low Carb diet. I've only seen plain Greek yogurts recommended. Would this be OK?

My mum is using her first sensor (nhs funded) after doing the bianca course. She used one she bought in the summer, with no problems whatsoever. She still had the app on her phone, so she put the new sensor on yesterday and set up the high and low sugars for the alarm. However, the alarms are...

My mum has just booked her annual review with a nurse...after waiting for 2 hours to get a callback from our gp surgery! It's a phone consultation...but how can they seriously give patients proper care over the phone?? They can't check her feet, her blood pressure or injection sites remotely! I...

My mum, who is type 1, has an appt at the hospital Friday, to discuss getting a sensor. But she's worried that she won't meet the criteria. She does about 8 blood tests a day...but it was more a few weeks ago. She has arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome, which makes it painful or difficult to...

I've never tried them but have seen they are good for a low Carb diet. Before I buy some....what do they taste like? Do you need to soak them first? Do they lower the overall Carb count of a meal? Thanks

Hi. This morning I had 2 weetabix. Yes I know it's not a good breakfast but it's all I had. I felt tired before I ate. My blood sugar was 4.9 before eating One hour later it was 7.3 Is this good/bad/too fast a rise? I'm just off to do a hiit workout now, which will probably deplete my energy...

I noticed some people mention cwc....is that a way of eating? I've tried searching about it but can't find anything

I had my usual for lunch yesterday...2 slices of seeded bread with cheese and a protein bar. I felt sleepy straight afterwards. Done my blood sugar 2 hours later and it was 6.3. I don't usually feel sleepy when I have this meal, so just wondered if it would've shot my sugar levels up too...

I'm finding it hard to lose weight on metformin...I did it before but it's not really working for me this time (I'm IR with pcos) . I read that thyroid issues can make it difficult to lose weight, but I don't have any obvious symptoms to go to the gp with. Granted I may not have a thyroid issue...

For breakfast I used to have 2 weetabix and a malted milk biscuit. I now have 1 weetabix and a serving (40g) of high bran For lunch I have 2 slices of warburtons seeded bread with cheese, and a protein bar Do you think these 2 meals are good enough for a lower Carb diet? The lunch keeps me...

I have pcos, ir, and need to lose weight. About ten years ago, I was prescribed metformin to help with weight loss. It worked really well and I lost 3 stone. Sadly I never continued and put the weight back on. I am now back on metformin and I have to say, it's not really helping. I've lost a...
