I called Abbott on the Freefone number and was put through a 20 minute accusatory interrogation. Not a pleasant experience at all. Eventually - after a off line discussion with someone else - she said that she would replace the sensor "this time" insinuating I was not genuine. She said I should...

How do you contact Freestyle to report a faulty Libre sensor and hopefully get it replaced? Mine started reading LOW and I continued feeding it until I could get to do a blood test - when I was 17 mmol/l The sensor was in its second day!

I can't find how to post a question, but maybe someone will put this in the appropriate place if this is incorrect... Does the Omnipod allow you to bolus a required amount without doing a BG test? Does the handset allow you to enter a carb unit and calculate the bolus required then send it to...

How can you download the readings from a smartphone app to the PC, please? I can't see any way, but I'll bet some of you people know how! I have just started the Freestyle Libre and I think it's great. Thanks for any help.

If you have an Android smartphone, you don't even have to spend money on the reader. As well as a free app, it means one less device to have to carry around. I am only a few days into my first Freestyle sensor but I am already a big fan. I think I will be checking the pennies to fund one...

The thread is the DAFNE pump course, which is totally different to operating a pump. If you don't know about the DAFNE course I suggest you find out and book yourself on it - it is really useful.

I am talking about the DAFNE course - not the pump operation. Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating. This is a national (indeed international) organisation and it runs two distinct courses - one for MDI and one for pump users. I have been on the MDI and now am on a pump, so my original question was...

Thank you for your help. I was thinking that there was a difference as they are two distinct courses.

I have been on the DAFNE course and like most people, I found it really good. However, now on a pump, I wondered if there was "conversion material" I could access to make the principles relevant to a pump user? I guess that the main approach is the same - carb counting, recording, step approach...
