Many thanks to you both, after restarting my phone and following the advice from you both, it now works.

I'm back to pricking my finger with a sensor in my arm and an app that doesn't work :banghead: :)

Yes, i've tried it many times and even waited an hour as it usually takes that time to set up.

Hi, after knocking out my FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor, as directed on the FreeStyle Libre website, i've replaced it with a new sensor. When trying to take a reading from the FreeStyle LibreLink app. it recognises the new sensor saying: NEW SENSOR FOUND Starting a new sensor will end the sensor...

Hi, I have had this problem for many years. Along with some other symptoms I was diagnosed with Peripheral Neuropathy and Autonomic Neuropathy mostly due to having had high blood sugars for many years. I'm not saying this is what it is but it's worth considering and always if you have any...

After having type 1 for 49 years I have never had a doctor, specialist or nurse who has diabetes. Just out of interest, have you and if so have they been able to help you more in your control?

Hi again, because Degludec lasts in your system longer than any other basal insulin it makes blood sugar levels more stable for longer. Health teams are reluctant to let people have it as it's more expensive (again it seems the health teams are more concerned about money than our health!!)...

Hiya, It might help to look at the dose of your basal insulin or change it. I've found I have better control now that my basal has been changed. I now use Degludec. Stress will cause problems with control so I think it is a good idea to have counselling. It's vicious circle and maybe if you...

For carb counting, in my opinion the Carbs & Cals book or app are the best. I've been rubbish at carb counting for years and a diabetic nurse recommended this, it works for me. http://www.carbsandcals.com/

Thank you. I am going back but not sure if I should be listening to him, feeling ill is due to high blood sugar. I totally agree with the adjustment of Lantus and will try that. Thank you.

Hi katiieb96, please, please go to see your diabetic doctor or if you don't have one, see your Gp. I don't want to worry you but there may be a problem there which is conected to diabetes and /or your general diet. When you know what the problem is, it will help you in feeling more normal as the...

Hi, I started going to my GP's diabetic clinic about a month ago as I was having more hypo's than before in the morning. I now know this was due to being menopausal and a strange hormone interaction with insulin. He told me to take no correction doses at all when my blood sugar is high and only...

Hi fruim, i'd say stick with what you know works. You know your body better than any doctor. Obviously do all it takes to try not to get any bangs to your head. And you're 70 years young not old :)

Hi Wullie, 46 years type 1 with many associated problems. Yes it's a boring nightmare. I have been so much better though since taking anti-depressants and using a Freestyle Insulinx meter. The meter does the thinking for me. There is no shame in in taking anti-depressants, they do not cure the...

46 years Type 1 and now have all of the associated problems! This is purely because my blood sugar has been high for so many years. I can not stress enough how blood sugar control is so important. I know from experience that it's true. I have known people who have had diabetes a lot longer...
