    Freestyle Libre 3

    Has anyone on here managed to get the Libre 3 on prescription yet? It is supposedly available via the NHS Supply Chain, but I have not heard of a single person getting it via the NHS, or anywhere else for that matter.

    Smart Insulin Pens - how do I avoid the priming dose being included in the actual dosing injection?

    Options to edit the dose and change the description. Personally I find this really irritating by Freestyle Libre. I use Glooko and it is perfectly capable of distinguishing between doses except for the Libre. It is lazy, sloppy code work from their IT people IMO. They can fix it. They choose...

    Freestyle sensors placement

    I would but my consultant has access to my readings and makes decisions based on that, so while that is ok for me, it's not for him.

    When I do a finger prick test, I notice that my readings were 2 below consistently. Will try elsewhere. [emoji17]

    Tried on the inner arm for the first time. Readings are good and no danger of falling off.

    Pilates or Yoga

    I have been doing Pilates for over 8 years and I can assure you it is not for sweating and cardio. Most of the work is based around building up your core strength, stretching and overall toning. OP I'd say try both and see which one you prefer. I have tried yoga and didn't like it, plus...

    I've got the Libre Blues ....

    Don't give up. I swear by them. I was self funding for 18 months it was that good. If it fails then Abbott are pretty good at sending out replacements. I've always keep a backup one as well.

    Online Prescription Service

    Boots offer a home delivery service. I'm going to go with them. It states I have to go in and collect the insulin though, which is not an issue for me. I already have a stock pile if insulin nd needles through the incompetence of the pharmacy, so no danger of running out of that. ETA: Just...
