As myself and at least 1 other person have already pointed out[emoji6]

I imagine the reason why is they make more money selling sensors than strips [emoji6]

Wrong with libre reader you can scan sensor OR insert strip and test blood for bg or ketones

Yeah its really useful. I carry with me so can use to scan and test blood for driving etc. Not sure what strips neo uses but libre uses freestyle optium strips which can get prescription. Make sure your gp gets right ones as ketones strips have similar name( can send you PIP code if helps) also...

@Changezi1 walking is great but if you are t1d you need insulin as your results show. I understand that for you it may not be easy/cheap to get but talk to your doctor and if that can't help try charities and NGO's like red cross/crescent etc that are local to you

Not that i know of but interesting idea. For your husband have you considered a libre? Its a FGM rather than CGM but has lot lower startup costs(just £50 sensor if you have an android phone) and if you don't need alarms of CGM worth thinking bout as alternative

Its best to buy direct from abbott as you get the backup from them and they are no cheaper elsewhere from what i've seen. If you have an android phone you can use librelink app and save £50 on buying libre reader although if you can afford it i think it is worth buying as also tests bg and...

Hey bill. Thats all good but steve is using a galaxy s6 smartphone with the librelink app (not sure if he has libre reader aswell) so slightly different. Diasend does all that but has added benefit of being able to share data and combine data from more than 1 meter. If you are in UK worth...

I used libre for first time beginning of august and loved it. Like you it was great to see patterns that you wouldn't with finger testing. I also have morning rise or "waking phenomenon" (different to dawn phenomenon)where level at waking is fine but if don't eat and/or bolus level will quickly...

Yep. Was diagnosed with osteoporosis not long after type1 and first was told this was due to vit d deficiency. Now vit d levels are sorted but osteoporosis isn't been told have low testosterone and waiting to see consultant. From what understand can be linked to t1d and is quite common.

Be careful correcting after 1 hour is not normally good idea especially if you have had something like curry which can cause delayed rise due to mix of fat/carbs

Hi @DiabeticPanda there is all ages on here including 18-30's (unfortunately at 35 i no longer qualify although don't feel/act it!) and all levels of experience from newbies like myself still honeymooning to guys with their 50 year medals. Not sure where bouts you are but if you are within...

Hey steve. Do you use diasend? I found easiest way is to link librelink account to diasend account. Presents data in various formats and has added bonus you can share data with hcp if you want. Message me if you want anymore info. Out of interest how you getting on with s6 and librelink heard...

Agree with you @TorqPendloin 100% this and the cost here in uk and fact there is not enough long term evidence on impact on lungs is reason i won't be currently switching

If you don't believe Accu chek how bout the Royal Mail own website: https://business.help.royalmail.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/898/~/restricted-goods---uk Even if you were right about postage the point is they will send you a voucher for Boots so your point about costing lots is still wrong

READ the link below. It's ONLY cr2032 batteries which the mobile doesn't use(about only meter which doesn't) and if you have an accu chek meter which does they will send you a voucher to use at Boots https://www.accu-chek.co.uk/gb/myaccuchek/orderaccessories.html?nav=customerservice

As a type1 no need to buy one just contact accu chek and they will send you one for free :)

I have an accu chek mobile which I use when out and like others have said find that although it is bigger than other meters its convenient having meter/strip/lancer all in one. I actually picked up a spare one yesterday including 50 test cartridge from accu chek stall at an event :) Although I...

Hi. I've not flown long haul yet since been diagnosed but found this site when I was looking into travel advice. Hope it helps http://www.diabetestravel.org/

I used the BDEC online course and found it pretty easy to follow. Have since done the Type1 SHINE educational course and didn't really learn much more. Just remember to take it slow and make any adjustments to insulin small and gradual and consult your Consultant/DSN/GP if in any doubt. Good...
