I was going to try on thigh do you not have a rash when not on arms?!

Just submitted mine! Again was after 6 months and Abbott denied all knowledge of any issues even though I told them I wasn’t the only one ‍♀️

Thanks for the info! What do you mean by compeed - like the plaster with a hole in the middle or a blister plaster? Wouldn’t they lift / leak?! Thanks

Good tip thanks will try and get some!

It looks worse in real life than this but you can see it overlapping an old rash too i now have 3 :( and all different batches ..!

Hi I’ve been on libre 8 months but last 3 sensors have caused terrible itching plus rash on arm see attached. It’s also coming off before 14 day expiry. Never bothered me before , so annoying. I can see a few people have had issues just wondered whether it’s worth trying leg or tummy? I’ve...

I can’t see how though as when you have faulty sensors you have to restart a new sensor

I started the new one 11 minutes before old one ended . It let me start a new sensor. I’ll ring them tomorrow.

Just tried a brand new one - did the whole test in 60 minutes - also saying same thing ‘sensor ended’ what the hell???????? All gone now / 2 wastes

Hi there I realised I need 24 hours for libre to adjust and give accurate readings so put one in my right arm with 12 hours left on the old one - on left arm.

Hello - what sites do you use to help plan low carb meals etc? I need inspiration!!

Interesting, I asked for it during my appointment, the consultant didn’t recommend it or know as much as me it would appear... Just went in with my reasons etc and it was agreed the next day. Maybe it was a combination of luck too as my appointment was January and the trial was just starting.

Sorry to hear that however I’ve got one on the NHS in Leeds and have not had any hospital admissions and my hba1c is 56.... I test more than 8 times a day and have erratic readings which has led to background retinopathy progressing to diabetic maculopathy detection so I’m going for further eye...

I was on toujeo for a couple of weeks and it made me have terrible highs so I went back to lantus. Now been on tresiba a week and that seems to be much better. So far...

Faulty pen or injection site lumpy?

Thank you. I’ve just had a call to say I’ve been put forward for the libre trial and it’s been agreed ;) so I’ll keep all posted. Re Tresiba went to bed at 7.1 awoke at 2.30am at 12.7 had a correction dose of 2 woke up at 8.2 so may need increasing slightly.

Great comparison thanks :)
