Hi! Anyone managed to get xDrip4iOS working with Libre2Plus? My prescription is being forced from Libre2 to the Plus DOH! I’m currently using Shuggah, didn’t realise they stole it from xDrip! Any help would be fab!

Hi fellow T1s! Is Lantus still the go-to basal insulin these days? I used it for years but switched to Levemir during pregnancy. Thinking of going back to Lantus now, but wanted to see if there's anything newer or better out there? And are there any current concerns about Lantus (I vaguely...

I’m 23 weeks, bloods all ok (except low iron, taking tablets) & sugars in range 83% so hospital not toooo concerned but have booked extra scan because my insulin needs/resistance just isn’t increasing, which it had a lot by now in first pregnancy. Anyone else experienced this? I had a big leap...

I know every food affects us each differently but I’m just wondering if anyone knows roughly what the slowest time the lowest GI foods are likely to kick in....?! I’ve never understood if it’s like 1 hour or could be 12 hours?! I want to know if I eat some almond nuts for example what kinda...

Just wondered what the advice people have been given if you were to be pregnant amongst the coronavirus chaos?! TTC and it’s all a bit (very!) stressful knowing how careful to be with new rules. Hospital wrote to me to say they strongly advise not to try but we felt that would break our hearts...
