Just replying here as its sounds like me also. Was diagnosed as epileptic though what they really said was "we cant detect it,but,you do have seizures and the medication controls them so you might have it we just cant detect it yet, there are over 250 different types of epileptic conditions and...

Chance would be a fine thing! Got version 2.2 and it refuses to run in my windows 8.1 pro 64bit in any of the backwards compatiable modes! Sent message after message to accu-chek, even took screen grabs showing them but still no reply! It installs,runs, but then crashes talking about the screen...

Again brilliant, this helps a lot to hear from people who have experianced them first hand, thank you! Lol i dont have any control about getting the loan of the CGM, it took three weeks wait to actually get the thing once the nurse said i should get it, then only because someone who was getting...

Thanks for answering, as usual theres total confusion here in the UK when it comes to what you can get or not... CGM's = I live in Havering,Essex and apparently in this county there is NO funding for any CGM of any type for any purpose. The CGM i had for the week was a loned one (and the only...

Hi, first off after years of trying to get my diabetic team to give me a pump they decided after just a week! I am needle phobic, but my nurse gave me a CGM for week to see what my BG were doing.....After seeing her again and her looking at the results AND the look of shock and horror on her...

Thanks for replying,lol, sorry if i sounded a bit angry it was the week i found out CGM's are no longer funded in Havering,and only 1 pump a month let alone the fact your case is assesed by bean counters and not doctors even when the consultant said i should get one, add the fact you have to go...

Keira Steven theres no need to worry like has been said before it takes time for the glucose to get into the blood, she may have needed 6 tabs instead of the origional 3 because her body was still burning energy or she had something in her tummy all ready that was slowing down her orbsorbing the...

Thank you Doug, after reading through all the coments on the page left by others at the link you provided quite a few similarities sprung up...Especially the B12 thing, my GP had put me on B12 vitiamins before xmas but then stopped prescribing me them, perhaps i B12 levels are low again and...

Hi, i know diagnosis cant really be done online, but ,as i am in the middle of my diabetic nurse moving and changing to another area ( its a joke trying to get answers from anyone at the moment, either they cant be found, or no one knows who to call, or what the actual working telphone numbers...

:lol: bit late here it seems but, for me the question is "what is a friend?", sure some seem to know hundreds of people but would they fully trust any of them? If "no" then simply ,there not friends, there just people they know and there "friends" numbers mean absolutly nothing when friends are...

It will never happen here in the UK,four years to probabal release,but then another 5 years to get through the uk medical testing barrier because its internal and then, think about it, a tiny circuitboard powered by a tiny battery, sending radio and bluetooth signals to Doctors, so they would...

:D Thank you both for all the extra info, theres a lot there i had no clue about and i bet a lot of other diabetics did not know either, its like all the information is hidden away and inaccessible to the general public when it comes to any medical devices, well not unless you know what it is...

I agree, lol as at the moment i have NO blood testing because of my needle phobia so this device or ANY other bloodless devices would give me better control than the non existent control i have now lol!!! Though the cost is what is the killer, believe me if i had the money i would get one when...
