    Blue numbers in posts

    Looking back at my posts, most of them show brackets, numbers in blue and script saying emoji. Since this is not how I’ve written anything, I am wondering what is going on. Does anyone else have this issue?

    What to do with used pumps and syringes on holiday

    I’m going away soon for a week and later for a month. Any suggestions as to how I can store all the used sharps, Omnipod [emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]]s and the Dexcom [emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]] insertion thing so I can bring everything safely back home?

    Sensors and Omnipod [emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]]

    I have received an email from my hospital asking if I want to change to the Freestyle Libre [emoji638]+ or the Dexcom G[emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji639]] when the Dexcom G[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]] is terminated. I would appreciate any feedback from you, even though I...

    Type 1 You could lose your CGM and Pump

    Type 1 Libre signal loss

    Every 20 minutes today I have had a message saying signal loss and scan sensor. I do this and 20 minutes later I get the same message. I switched all the alarms off and back on, same with my iPhone. No difference. I have the latest app and IOS. Abbott told me to scan every 10 minutes for 2 hours...
