I attended the DAFNE (Australia) program many years ago and the guide was only test before meals and bed, obviously more if you are unwell. That assumes of course that you stay within range, I’ve recently gone across to Libre2 and find myself scanning way too many times, my readings have been a...

I think I’ve stumbled onto a secret to lowering blood sugar levels. I had a bicycle accident last week fracturing 3 ribs and broken bone in my right hand. To manage the pain I’m on slow acting Oxycontin and have some fast acting when needed. Since coming out of hospital my average BGL has...

In Australia you can buy a product called Revitive Circulation Booster. It works by releasing small electrical impulses through feet, ankles and calves to stimulate blood flow. Increased blood flow helps to remove excess fluid from the lower legs. Similar products are used in sports to...

Agree however we all have busy lives and it’s worth having tools that are easy to use, a good resource to better manage BGL and not take a lot of time.

Does anyone pull apart the sensor to remove the battery before disposing the sensor in the rubbish? In Australia batteries are not supposed to go into landfill and there are battery recycling centres, although I’m not sure what happens to the batteries in recycling. I’ve just started pulling...

interesting point.

Hi All, Season’s greetings. Does anyone know if the average glucose results in the Libre are an average of each scan/blood glucose tests OR an average of all the sensor, ie each 15min, results. My Freestyle manual says it the Sensor Glucose readings so not 100% clear. Thanks David T1 28 yrs MDI

Hi, I’ve used RapidCalc (phone ap) for about 10 years and it does everything you need. It’s not a glucometer though so you need to enter the BG reading, which is the upside of the Libre. Couple of the libre deficiencies for me is that you cannot just calculate a dose (using the calculator)...

Hopefully I’ll be consistently accurate as well. Thanks for your feedback. David

I agree that testing does allow you to more accurately calculate your dose, it was just that on this site I had not read any posts from people who did test using the Libre so it was a surprise to read this in the material that came with the Libre. Mark’s suggestion that might not need to test if...

good plan, many thanks.

thanks, that makes sense.

Agree with this, 80% of short acting should have been used up after 3 hours so the focus needs to be on the long acting. I initially had 1 dose at bed of lantus but not long after that went to twice daily in the advice of my endocrinologists day and that worked very well. Have been on 1 daily...

Hi All, Have just started using the libre and sensors after watching comments about the device on this site for quite a few years. I’ve just become eligible for a free libre and sensors which was the main reason for delay, I was quite happy with my blood testing and using the same app for many...

Many thanks, very interesting. Love technology, now there’s something else to go into my brain .

have you tried rotating the phone? the reader might be in a different location in your phone.

Hi, can you tell us a bit more about the ‘Bluetooth bridge’, very interested to know more. Things like what devices, software and connectivity? Thx David

I travel a bit for work for periods less than a month and travel with insulin unrefrigerated but put it into hotel fridges when I arrive. Sometimes I might dispose of any unused insulin when I get back home if insulin is unrefrigerated for long periods during the travel. I did travel Europe...
