Hi! Firstly, apologies for being a negative Nancy BUT.. am I really the only one not compatible with the G4 sensors? [emoji17] They literally fail after every 2-3 days, it’s so disrupting and painful removing / inserting them this frequent. Medtronic have done tech checks, replaced my pump...

I am sick to the back teeth of these G4 sensors! Literally failing every 2-3 days, never had this issue with my libre; Medtronic have kindly replaced my transmitter and my pump, was feeling so hopeful but just been out for lunch and it starts.. ‘Sensor updating’ then ‘Sensor not working, insert...

Morning! I’ve recently started with the Medtronic 780g which in itself is a learning curve! However, I’m still wearing my libre and the discrepancies I’m getting from my libre vs my G4 sensor are huge! G4 - 8.2 Libre - 13.2 Huge discrepancies! And I’ve don’t a finger stick test and it’s...

Hi! Had my 780g and Guardian 4 sensor fitted today.. they’ve started me off on manual mode but I cant believe I didn’t write down whether I should be doing correction doses or not and I’m PANICKING! Did a bolus with lunch at 2:45 and it’s now 13.2.. do I correct?!

Is anyone else seriously struggling with the libre constantly failing, giving sensor error messages and not working when you REALLY need it to?! It’s making me SO anxious, I find it so unreliable lately, never used to be this bad! Anyone else?!

Hi, firstly just removed my libre and have got this odd mark/bruise.. anyone else had this? Also - what are you all using to keep your Nightrider in place? Thanks!

Hi all Tonight at dinner I treated myself to a brownie for pudding. I always thought if you check an hour after injecting that’s a good indicator as to if you’ve injected the right amount? However this has happened a few times with various foods lately.. Before meal 6.6, One hour later 5.2...

Help! I’m a type 1 diabetic and have just found out I’m 2-3 weeks pregnant.. unplanned. This means I’ve not been taking the folic acid (I am aware you are supposed to take a higher dose 3months prior to conception) and am worried about how this would affect the baby. My HbA1C was 60 in the...

Afternoon all! One of my friends who is a GP suggested the above as I mentioned I have pre-proliferative retinopathy.. so before I speak to my consultant I wondered has anyone tried this or been advised to use it before?? Basically, has anyone ever heard anything good or bad about using...

Hi! So, went to the Chiropodist today as I have a corn on my foot. Sexy, I know. I’ve been to see one before who used to just scrape the top layer off very gently, never actually cutting me and then would put some cream on. Well he sadly retired and today I saw a new lady. She cut me. And it...
