    Twitching And Fasciculations In Calf Muscles

    Howdy. There is actually something called BFS (Benign Fasciculation Syndrome) which I personally think is just doctor speak for "haven't got a clue". Regardless there is a now largely defunct (but still readable) forum all about it here: http://www.aboutbfs.com/forums/ which one could find...

    Booster jabs

    Well, yes. That is another rabbit hole altogether. o_O The nonsensical propaganda was so off the scale on this one that one would have to have been completely brain dead not to get at least a little bit suspicious. As very little of it made logical sense, which soon led me to believe that...

    Freestyle Libre 1 scanner?

    Perhaps it is not available for my phone, as when searching that (and variations) the only one that shows up is something called LibreLinkUp by Newyu inc. (which appears to be some almost pointless app for "sharing your diabetes data with a loved one" :rolleyes:) So I was hoping there would be...

    Booster jabs

    Same as any cold (or flu) really. I would never have gone around to "kill granny" (lol, remember that propaganda?) if I had cold symptoms at any time pre 2020 regardless - in fact I would have been at home chilling and skiving off and ignoring the phone, haha.

    Insulin sensitivity shot to pieces?

    Hi. As a rough rule of thumb, if my sugar level was say 9mmol and I gave myself 1 unit of short acting insulin, my sugar level would go down to 6mmol. That is to say my blood sugar level to insulin unit ratio was 3-1. This used to be this way almost exclusively until recent months when it...

    In Spain with no Lantus!!

    Did you manage it? The good thing about Spain is that you can buy almost anything direct from the pharmacy without a prescription. I had to do it several years ago after leaving my insulin at a bus station. A costly mistake as it was around 35e for a packet of insulin cartridges. Still, it was...

    Freestyle Libre 1 scanner?

    Hi. So I have a Freestyle Libre 1 (ONE) sensor that I have put on. But I just realised the scanner I have (for the 2 version) is not backwards compatible. Is there any way I can get around this? Specifically is there any App for Android that might still be able to scan a Freestyle Libre 1...

    Flu vaccination

    I was offered this at the surgery this week. It's the first I'd heard of it so I was a bit taken aback and said 'no thanks'. The news that evening was all about the mystery virus in China - so I wondered if it was connected at all to that. But it seems perhaps not, bearing in mind your post is...

    Could it be the Lantus?

    Thanks for the swift response. It seems this forum is very active.

    Could it be the Lantus?

    Hi. Has that thread in the link above been deleted for some reason? As I was going to post in that - but it just takes me back to the Forums home page when I click on it. I may be having problems with Lantus too. :(
