    Shower with Freestyle Libre sensor

    Well I had a bath yesterday (and a proper one at that with relaxing and all) and the sensor still seems solid as a rock... I am still skeptical about 14 days but so far I am very impressed all round (most of all with the glue ;))

    Shower with Freestyle Libre sensor

    Just started with my Freestyle today and the rep that I got the unit from said within reason if the sensor does fall off towards the start of the 14 days and not through "unreasonable use" they will happily replace it if you call their customer care line. (you will need the serial number though...

    Smaller lucozade bottles "petition"

    Lucozade does come in 250ml cans as opposed to bottles. As much as I am a diabetic I am going to put my product designer job hat on and say this is completely unrelaistic in terms of buisness.

    Missing basal

    Agreed we have all had those "Did I take my injection moments" (I usually ask my wife :p) I would agree with Spiker don't risk it simply test regularly and correct if needed. If you really want to be sure just have a low carb day. Annoying but not the end of the world.

    Soft Drink Blunders

    I can tell pretty confidently the difference between diet and regular soda. Generally speaking diet drinks smell less than regular ones. Failing that after 1 sip I can tell the difference. But yes it does happen relatively regularly.
