    Type 1: Prescription fine

    So I'm being hit with £124 plus another £50 for not paying the fine in time when I was waiting back for a reply email as I was appealing. I'd like to know how many people have had their fines waived. If you could leave your full name in a reply I think that would help others like me fight our...

    FREESTYLE LIBRE ON SALE!!!!

    Just received a call back from Abbott. They are sending me a replacement due to the discomfort I'm experiencing. The best guess from them is I've hit a nerve. They want the used one posting back. They say that they recommend the back of the upper arm because there isn't many nerves in that...

    How long has your sensor been in? Very similar to my experience. I was advised the following: "Do you have any signs of infection at insertion site (inflammation, redness, rash, discharge, fever etc.) or allergy (fever, shortness of breath, swollen lips, face, etc.)? Please contact your...

    I got an email reply from Abbott about the discomfort I've been experiencing with the sensor. I'm still getting slight stabbing pain if I move my arm in certain way or roll over onto it in bed.

    FREESTYLE LIBRE ON SALE!!!!

    24 hrs on and my sensor still has a slight jabbing and numb pain. Not bad enough to remove it but I feel it for sure!! No reply from Abbott which is disappointing. Accuracy is quite good. Seems to just lag behind my blood test by about 5-10 mins. But I feel like I can rely on it for insulin...
